exquisite in its diction."--_Worcester
Spy_.
FLOWER O' THE ORANGE. With frontispiece.
We have learned to expect from these fertile authors novels graceful
in form, brisk in movement, and romantic in conception. This carries
the reader back to the days of the bewigged and beruffled gallants of
the seventeenth century and tells him of feats of arms and adventures
in love as thrilling and picturesque, yet delicate, as the utmost
seeker of romance may ask.
MY MERRY ROCKHURST. Illustrated by Arthur E. Becher.
"In the eight stories of a courtier of King Charles Second, which are
here gathered together, the Castles are at their best, reviving all
the fragrant charm of those books, like _The Pride of Jennico_, in
which they first showed an instinct, amounting to genius, for sunny
romances. The book is absorbing * * * and is as spontaneous in feeling
as it is artistic in execution."--_New York Tribune_.

THE CATTLE BARON'S DAUGHTER. A Novel. By Harold Bindloss. With
illustrations by David Ericson.
A story of the fight for the cattle-ranges of the West. Intense
interest is aroused by its pictures of life in the cattle country at
that critical moment of transition when the great tracts of land used
for grazing were taken up by the incoming homesteaders, with the
inevitable result of fierce contest, of passionate emotion on both
sides, and of final triumph of the inevitable tendency of the times.
WINSTON OF THE PRAIRIE. With illustrations in color by W. Herbert
Dunton.
A man of upright character, young and clean, but badly worsted in the
battle of life, consents as a desperate resort to impersonate for a
period a man of his own age--scoundrelly in character but of an
aristocratic and moneyed family. The better man finds himself barred
from resuming his old name. How, coming into the other man's
possessions, he wins the respect of all men, and the love of a
fastidious, delicately nurtured girl, is the thread upon which the
story hangs. It is one of the best novels of the West that has
appeared for years.
