By MAURICE THOMPSON

Author of "Alice of Old Vincennes"

As Mr. Thompson avers, this is "only a love story," but it is a story of
such sweetness and wholesome life that it will at once claim a permanent
home in our affections. The love of nature, so prominent a characteristic
of Mr. Thompson, is reflected throughout and the thunderstorm and
following gleam of sun, the country garden and southern lake are each in
turn invested with a personality that wins our instant sympathy. Rosalynde
Banderet is winsome and artless, her lovers are human and manly, and her
final happiness is ours. Mr. Peirson's many pictures are entirely worthy.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL HISTORICAL NOVEL

THE BLACK WOLF'S BREED

By HARRIS DICKSON

From the Boston Globe:

"A vigorous tale of France in the old and new world during the reign of
Louis XIV."

From the Philadelphia Press:

"As delightfully seductive as certain mint-flavored beverages they make
down South."

From the Los Angeles Herald:

"The sword-play is great, even finer than the pictures in 'To Have and To
Hold.'"

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

"As fine a piece of sustained adventure as has appeared in recent
fiction."

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:

"There is action, vivid description and intensely dramatic situations."

From the Indianapolis News:

"So full of tender love-making, of gallant fighting, that one regrets
it's no longer."

"IN LONDON OF LONG AGO"

THE FICKLE WHEEL

By HENRY THEW STEPHENSON

In this tale of merry England, of the time when Shakespeare jested and Ben
Johnson blustered, Mr. Stephenson has painted for us a picture informing
and above all entertaining. His is not a story of counts and crowns, but
of the ever interesting common people. Without seeming to do so the author
shows us many interesting bits of the life of the day. We go to Paul's
walk, we see Shakespeare play at the Globe theatre and other such glimpses
of old time London are deftly added to our experiences. Throughout the
book is an evanescent charm, a spirit of wholesome gaiety. It is well
worth while.
