confined exclusively to facts in Dr. Grenfell's
daily life, is full of romance, adventure and excitement. The _N. Y.
Sun_ recently said: "Admirable as is the work that Dr. Grenfell is doing
on the Labrador coast, the books he has written, make his readers almost
wish he would give up some of it to write more."
_CLARA E. LAUGHLIN_
The Gleaners
A Novellette. Illustrated, decorated boards, net 75c.
Again Miss Laughlin has given us a master-piece in this story of present
day life. Millet's picture, "The Gleaners," is the moving spirit of this
little romance and, incidentally, one catches the inspiration the artist
portrays in his immortal canvas. "The Gleaners" is issued in similar
style to "Everybody's Lonesome," of which the _Toronto Globe_ said: "One
of the successful writers of 'Good Cheer' stories for old and young is
Miss Laughlin, and whoever reads one of her cheery little volumes
desires more."

_Author of "The Immigrant Tide," etc._
The Broken Wall
Stories of the Mingling Folk. Illustrated, net $1.00.
Professor Steiner has the story-teller's knack and uses his art with
consummate skill in this collection, where will be found dramatic
tragedy and profound pathos in strong contrast with keen humor and
brilliant wit, all permeated by an uncompromising optimism. No man has
probed the heart of the immigrant more deeply, and his interpretation of
these Americans of tomorrow is at once a revelation and an inspiration:
a liberal education in brotherhood.
_A. D. STEWART_
Heather and Peat
12mo, cloth, net $1.20.
"This is a very delightful story, told in the broadest and most
fascinating Scotch language. The author belongs of right to that class
of modern Scotch writers who bring out matters of vital human interest,
with religious and tender touches, and this story is one that any writer
might be proud of and any reader of feeling and vitality must delight
in."--_Journal and Messenger_.
_YANG PING YU_
The Love Story of a Maiden of Cathay
Told in Letters from Yang Ping Yu. Finely decorated boards, net 50c.
Written in English picturesquely colored with Chinese, at once naive and
yet full of worldly wisdom, frank and yet discreetly reserved. The story
as told in the letters is real, vivid, convincing. It is a human
document that will compel the attention of the reader from beginning to
end, and verify again the saying that "truth is stranger than fiction."
