Few present-day books are so thoroughly wholesome, fresh and charming as
this quiet, old-fashioned romance, as refreshingly sweet as the name of
its heroine.
Phoebe Deane, a motherless girl, meets the trials of a life of
dependence, and an unwelcome suitor, with a brave, sweet spirit. In
spite of deceit and treachery, her lover at last comes to her rescue,
and her happiness is assured.

The story opens upon the wedding preparations for the marriage of
winsome, wilful Kate to strong and good David. Complications arise by
which David marries her younger sister Marcia instead and it is only
after a period of trials and heartaches that Marcia wins her husband's
love when he comes to understand her worthiness and Kate's heartless
frivolity and duplicity. The _Chicago Tribune_ pronounces Marcia "One of
the most lovable heroines that ever lived her life in the pages of a
romance."

_A NOVEL OF THE REAL WEST_
"=ME--SMITH="
By CAROLINE LOCKHART
With five illustrations by Gayle Hoskins
12mo. Cloth, $1.20 net.
Miss Lockhart is a true daughter of the West, her father being a large
ranch-owner and she has had much experience in the saddle and among the
people who figure in her novel.
"Smith" is one type of Western "Bad Man," an unusually powerful and
appealing character who grips and holds the reader through all his
deeds, whether good or bad.
It is a story with red blood in it. There is the cry of the coyote, the
deadly thirst for revenge as it exists in the wronged Indian toward the
white man, the thrill of the gaming table, and the gentleness of pure,
true love. To the very end the tense dramatism of the tale is maintained
without relaxation.
"Gripping, vigorous story."--_Chicago Record-Herald._
"This is a real novel, a big novel."--_Indianapolis News._
"Not since the publication of 'The Virginian' has so powerful a
cowboy story been told."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._
"A remarkable book in its strength of port
