ility to write forceful,
fragrant English.

From the Brooklyn Standard-Union:

"The tale is one of vibrant quality. It can not be read at a leisurely
pace. It bears the reader through piratical seas and buccaneering
adventures, through storm and stress of many sorts, but it lands him
safely, and leads him to peace."

A STORY OF THE MORGAN RAID, DURING THE WAR OF THE REBELLION

THE LEGIONARIES

By HENRY SCOTT CLARK

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal says:

"The backbone of the story is Morgan's great raid--one of the most
romantic and reckless pieces of adventure ever attempted in the history of
the world. Mr. Clark's description of the Ride of the Three Thousand is a
piece of literature that deserves to live; and is as fine in its way as
the chariot race from 'Ben Hur.'"

The Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune says:

"'The Legionaries' is pervaded with what seems to be the true spirit of
artistic impartiality. The author is simply a narrator. He stands aside,
regarding with equal eye all the issues involved and the scales dip not in
his hands. To sum up, the first romance of the new day on the Ohio is an
eminently readable one--a good yarn well spun."

The Rochester Herald says:

"The appearance of a new novel in the West marks an epoch in fiction
relating to the war between the sections for the preservation of the
Union. 'The Legionaries' is a remarkable book, and we can scarcely credit
the assurance that it is the work of a new writer."

A STORY TOLD BY A REAL STORYTELLER

A SON OF AUSTERITY

By GEORGE KNIGHT

Mr. Knight has created a real atmosphere for his men and women to breathe,
and his men and women take deep breaths. They are alive, they are human,
they are real.

He has a delightful story to tell and knows how to tell it. It is a story
of human life, of possible people in possible situations, living out their
little span of life in that state in which it has pleased God to call
them.

The reader realizes at once that Mr. Knight is a man who served his seven
years of apprenticeship before opening a shop on his own account.

The deftness and charm of his literary style, combined with the absorbing
interest of the story, can not but prove a delight to every reader.
