an tale of modern life and love. A MAN'S WOMAN. A story which has for a heroine a girl decidedly out of the ordinary run of fiction. It is most dramatic, containing some tremendous pictures of the daring of the men who are trying to reach the Pole * * * but it is at the same time essentially a _woman's_ book, and the story works itself out in the solution of a difficulty that is continually presented in real life--the wife's attitude in relation to her husband when both have well-defined careers. McTEAGUE. A Story of San Francisco. "Since Bret Harte and the Forty-niner no one has written of California life with the vigor and accuracy of Mr. Norris. His 'McTeague' settled his right to a place in American literature; and he has now presented a third novel, 'Blix,' which is in some respects the finest and likely to be the most popular of the three."--_Washington Times._ BLIX. "Frank Norris has written in 'Blix' just what such a woman's name would imply--a story of a frank, fearless girl comrade to all men who are true and honest because she is true and honest. How she saved the man she fishes and picnics with in a spirit of outdoor platonic friendship, makes a pleasant story, and a perfect contrast to the author's 'McTeague.' A splendid and successful story."--_Washington Times._ NEW EDITIONS OF THE MOST POPULAR NOVELS Of HALLIE ERMINIE RIVES Handsomely bound in cloth. Price, 75 cents per volume, postpaid. SATAN SANDERSON. With halftone illustrations by A. B. Wenzell, and inlay cover in colors. From the heroic figures of the American Revolution and the romantic personage of Byron's day, Miss Rives has turned to the here and now. And in the present she finds for her immense and brilliant talent a tale as dramatic and enthralling as any of the storied past. The career of the Rev. Harry Sanderson, known as "Satan" in his college days, who sowed the wind to reap the whirlwind and won at last through strangest penance the prize of love, seizes the reader in the strait grip of its feverish interest. Miss Rives has outdone herself in the invention of a love story that rings with lyric feeling and touches every fiber of the heart with strength and beauty. THE CASTAWAY. With illustrations in colors by Howard Chandler Christy. The book takes its title from a saying of Lord Byron's: "Three great men ruined in one year--a king, a cad, and a castaway." The king was Napoleon. The cad was Beau Brummel. And
