It is a good healthy tale of normal human happenings,
a sort of protest against the decadent type of novel which seems to

"A creditable piece of work. The resemblance of the story to the

strike the keynote of sincerity."

Savannah (Ga.) NEWS

BOOK NEWS MONTHLY

"The same verve and rapidity of action that characterized Mr.
Hornblow's successful novel written from 'The Lion and the Mouse'
are in this new and up-to-date story."

The Baltimore SUN

"In plot, incidents, emotions, verisimilitude and style this
interesting story ranks with the best of this year's novels. The
moral tone of the story is excellent--a welcome novelty in
up-to-date novels."

Chicago INTER-OCEAN

"'The Profligate' is a good story. The principal personage of the
book is a young man wholly given to gambling and dissipation. Yet
