_MARION BLYTHE_ An American Bride in Porto Rico Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00. "The story is very pleasant and very human. In her bravery and courage, in her wit and merriment, the bride reminds one somewhat of the "Lady of the Decoration." This similarity adds, however, rather than detracts from the charm of the book. She is thoroughly good-natured and clever and companionable, with a whimsical and ever-present sense of humor."--_Chicago Evening Post_. _ISLA MAY MULLINS_ The Boy from Hollow Hut Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00. Readers of John Fox, Jr.'s stories will recognize the location of this story at once. The author and her husband, President of the great Theological Seminary of Louisville, have taken a large interest in these descendants of _some of the best American stock_. Through the tender humanness of her narrative Mrs. Mullins bids fair to gain a large audience for this intensely interesting work. _DR. OLIVIA A. BALDWIN_ Sita, A Story of Child-Marriage Fetters. 12mo, cloth, net $1.25.

Illustrated, net $1.25. "The Measure of a Man" is Mr. Duncan's first full-sized novel having a distinct motif and purpose since "Doctor Luke of The Labrador." The tale of the big woods has for its hero, John Fairmeadow--every inch a man whom the Lumber Jacks of his parish in the pines looked up to as their Sky Pilot. Human nature in the rough is here portrayed with a faithfulness that is convincing. _ROBERT E. KNOWLES Author of "St. Cuthberts," etc._ The Singer of the Kootenay A Tale of To-day. 12mo, cloth, net $1.20. The scene of action for Mr. Knowles' latest novel is in the Crow's Nest Pass of the Kootenay Mountains of British Columbia. To this dramatic field he has gone for local color and has taken every advantage of his wide knowledge, picturing life of every phase in his most artistic style. _HAROLD BEGBIE Author of "Twic
