ld. AN IMAGINATIVE MAN. By Robert S. Hichens, author of "The Folly of Eustace," "The Green Carnation," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. "A study in character.... Just as entertaining as though it were the conventional story of love and marriage.

By Percy White, author of "Mr. Bailey-Martin," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. "A drama of biting intensity. A tragedy of inflexible purpose and relentless result."--Pall Mall Gazette. A HARD WOMAN.

It is told with all the strength of simplicity and directness; it is warm and pulsating, and fairly trembles with excitement."--Chicago Record.
