In the Heart of a Fool
_Cloth, 12mo, $1.60_
"A big novel--a book that will profoundly affect the thoughts and the
feelings of the many who will read it.... Behind this chronicle lies the
secret of the next fifty years of American history. The fruit of this book
will be an awakening of the sleeping consciences in many men and a glimpse
of what it is to live in America to-day."--_N.Y. Sun_.
"A great work. In its scope it is one of the most comprehensive American
romances ever written.... An intensely dramatic story.... We have seen no
truer nor more vital portraiture of distinctive and important American
types."--_N.Y. Tribune_.

Our House
BY HENRY S. CANBY
_Cloth, 12mo._
Mr. Canby, known as a teacher of literature and critic, also as a writer
of books on literary subjects, has written a novel, and one of singular
appeal. Its central character is a young man facing the world, taking
himself perhaps over-seriously, but genuinely perplexed as to what to do
with himself. Coming back from college to a sleepy city on the borders of
the South, his problem is, whether he shall subside into local business
affairs, keep up the home which his father has struggled to maintain, or
whether he shall follow his instinct and try to do something worth while
in literature. This problem is made intensely practical through the death
of his father. The story of what the young man does is exceedingly
interesting. It takes the hero to New York and into the semi-artificial
life of young Bohemia and ultimately brings him back home, where he finds
the real happiness and success.

All the Brothers Were Valiant
BY BEN AMES WILLIAMS
_Cloth, 12mo._
This is a stirring story of the sea somewhat suggestive in manner of Jack
London's work. It has to do with two brothers of a sea-going family who go
on a cruise with the hope of ultimately finding their older brother, Mark,
who was lost on his last voyage. The adventures which they have on a
mid-sea island, where Mark, pagan, pirate, pearl-hunter, is found, are
absorbing. Hidden treasure, mutinies, tropic love, all these are here. The
book thrills with its incident and arouses admiration for its splendid
character portrayal.
