eyes lure from page to page. ROSALIND AT REDGATE. Illustrated by Arthur I. Keller. The author of "The House of a Thousand Candles" has here given us a bouyant romance brimming with lively humor and optimism; with mystery that breeds adventure and ends in love and happiness. A most entertaining and delightful book. THE MAIN CHANCE. With illustrations by Harrison Fisher. A "traction deal" in a Western city is the pivot about which the action of this clever story revolves. But it is in the character-drawing of the principals that the author's strength lies. Exciting incidents develop their inherent strength and weakness, and if virtue wins in the end, it is quite in keeping with its carefully-planned antecedents. The N. Y. _Sun_ says: "We commend it for its workmanship--for its smoothness, its sensible fancies, and for its general charm." ZELDA DAMERON. With portraits of the characters by John Cecil Clay. "A picture of the new West, at once startlingly and attractively true. * * * The heroine is a strange, sweet mixture of pride, wilfulness and lovable courage. The characters are superbly drawn; the atmosphere is convincing. There is about it a sweetness, a wholesomeness and a sturdiness that commends it to earnest, kindly and wholesome people."--_Boston Transcript._ BRILLIANT AND SPIRITED NOVELS AGNES AND EGERTON CASTLE Handsomely bound in cloth. Price, 75 cents per volume, postpaid. THE PRIDE OF JENNICO. Being a Memoir of Captain Basil Jennico. "What separates it from most books of its class is its distinction of manner, its unusual grace of diction, its delicacy of touch, and the fervent charm of its love passages. It is a very attractive piece of romantic fiction relying for its effect upon character rather than incident, and upon vivid dramatic presentation."--_The Dial._ "A stirring, brilliant and dashing story."--_The Outlook._ THE SECRET ORCHARD. Illustrated by Charles D. Williams. The "Secret Orchard" is set in the midst of the ultra modern society. The scene is in Paris, but most of the characters are English speaking. The story was dramatized in London, and in it the Kendalls scored a great theatrical success. "Artfully contrived and full of romantic charm * * * it possesses ingenuity of incident, a figurative designation of the unhallowed scenes in which unlicensed love accomplishes and wrecks faith and happiness."--_Athenaeum._ YOUNG APRIL. With illustrations by A. B. Wenzel
