_Vanity Fair_: "It moves to its end with all the terrible unity of an
AEschylean tragedy."

_Harper's Weekly_: "If Thomas Hardy had written of Scotland, instead of
Wessex, it would have been something like 'The House with the Green
Shutters'.... If any man is his (Douglas') master it is Thomas Hardy."

THE BLAZED TRAIL

A tale from beyond the bounds of civilization. The second in Mr. White's
series of thoroughly American stories.

The inspiriting breath of the great pine woods is in this dramatic novel
of frontier struggle in which a green "land looker" plays a lone hand
against a powerful and unscrupulous land company for a vast tract of
timber land.

_Third Edition._ $1.50

_By the same author_:

THE WESTERNERS

Mr. White shows us the rough-and-ready life of a Western mining camp.

"'THE WESTERNERS' lays strong hold on the reader. The thing is vital.
There is a force and a sincerity distinctly Western--of the frontier;
the grim naturalness of elemental things. Furthermore Mr. White knows
his West, his plains, his Indians and his mining camps."

THE MADNESS OF PHILIP

_AND OTHER STORIES OF CHILDHOOD_

_By Josephine Dodge Daskam_

Illustrated by F. Y. Cory.

It would be hard to decide which of Miss Daskam's little heroes and
heroines is the most attractive. There is Philip who demoralized the
kindergarten class; Edgar, the Choir Boy Uncelestial; Ardelia who didn't
like Arcady, and the little beau who dreamed that he went to
dancing-school and that he "was the only fellow there and all the little
girls were Cecilia." Miss Cory has caught the spirit of the stories
admirably in her illustrations. $1.50.

RED SAUNDERS

_HIS DOINGS WEST AND EAST_

_By H. W. Phillips_

Red Saunders is not the misconception of an American cowboy usually found
in fiction. He is a "sure enough live" cow puncher, brimful of keen
Western humor, and capable of performing mighty interesting stunts,
whether in the East or West. $1.25.

TRISTRAM OF BLENT

As sparkling as the "Dolly Dialogues."

As enthralling as "The Prisoner of Zenda."
