THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN HORN

12mo, $1.50

A novel unlike any that has hitherto appeared from this popular writer's
pen. It is a romance of the most adventurous kind, whose events, born of
Mr. Stockton's imagination, are wholly extraordinary, and yet, through
the author's ingenuity, appear altogether real. That Captain Horn's
adventures are varied may be inferred from the fact that they extend
from Patagonia to Maine and from San Francisco to Paris, and include the
most remarkable episodes and marvelous experiences--all of which are
woven together by the pleasing thread of a love-story, and brightened by
the gleam of Mr. Stockton's fanciful humor.

CONCERNING MR. STOCKTON'S STORIES.

"Mr. Stockton, more, perhaps, than any recent writer, has helped to
define the peculiar virtues of the short story. He has shown how
possible it is to use surprise as an effective element, and to make
the turn of a story rather than the crisis of a plot account for
everything. It may be said in general that Mr. Stockton does not
rely often upon a sudden reversal at the end of a story to capture
the reader, but gives him a whimsey or caprice to enjoy; while he
works out the details in a succession of amusing turns."--_The
Atlantic Monthly._
