se pages; yet the spirit of
England at war is in them, the spirit of those clean-cut young
Englishmen, who know so well how to die.... There is more than
entertainment in Mrs. Diver's books; more than serious interest,
though they have much of both. In them speaks England's faith in
her sons and daughters; in the qualities which have made her race
great and powerful and fit to endure." _New York Tribune._

GREATHEART
By Ethel M. Dell
There were two of them--as unlike as two men could be. Sir Eustace, big,
domineering, haughty, used to sweeping all before him with the power of
his personality.
The other was Stumpy, small, insignificant, quiet, with a little limp.
They clashed over the greatest question that may come to men--the love
of a girl.
She took Sir Eustace just because she could not help herself--and was
swept ahead on the tide of his passion.
And then, when she needed help most--on the day before the
wedding--Stumpy saved her--and the quiet flame of his eyes was more than
the brute power of his brother.
How did it all come out? Did she choose wisely? Is Greatheart more to be
desired than great riches? The answer is the most vivid and charming
story that Ethel M. Dell has written in a long time.
