ngs by E.L. HENRY, N.A. 12mo. Cloth, with medallion, $1.50. 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. =Marcia Schuyler= Frontispiece in color by ANNA WHELAN BETTS, and six illustrations from paintings by E.L. HENRY, N.A. Fifth edition. 12mo. Cloth, with medallion, $1.50. 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." J. B.

"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
