Popular Copyrighted Fiction. GROSSET & DUNLAP, 526 WEST 26th ST., NEW YORK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE NOVELS OF =WINSTON CHURCHILL= ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skillful in plot, dramatic in episode, powerful and original in climax. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MR. CREWE'S CAREER. Illus. by A. I. Keller and Kinneys. A New England state is under the political domination of a railway and Mr. Crewe, a millionaire, seizes the moment when the cause of the people against corporation greed is being espoused by an ardent young attorney, to further his own interest in a political way, by taking up this cause. The daughter of the railway president, with the sunny humor and shrewd common sense of the New England girl, plays no small part in the situation as well as in the life of the young attorney who stands so unflinchingly for clean politics. THE CROSSING. Illus. by S. Adamson and L. Baylis. Describing the battle of Fort Moultrie and the British fleet in the harbor of Charleston, the blazing of the Kentucky wilderness, the expedition of Clark and his handful of dauntless followers in Illinois, the beginning of civilization along the Ohio and Mississippi, and the treasonable schemes builded against Washington and the Federal Government. CONISTON. Illustrated by Florence Scovel Shinn. A deft blending of love and politics distinguishes this book. The author has taken for his hero a New Englander, a crude man of the tannery, who rose to political prominence by his own powers, and then surrendered all for the love of a woman. It is a sermon on civic righteousness, and a love story of a deep motive. THE CELEBRITY. An Episode. An inimitable bit of comedy describing an interchange of personalities between a celebrated author and a bicycle salesman of the most blatant type. The story is adorned with some character sketches more living than pen work. It is the purest, keenest fun--no such piece of humor has appeared for years: it is American to the core. THE CRISIS. Illus. by Howard Chandler
