ITH, author of "The Rival Campers," etc. Cloth decorative, with a colored frontispiece by Frank T. Merrill $1.50 The period of Mr. Smith's story is the beginning of the eighteenth century, when the shores of the American colonies were harassed and the seas patrolled by pirates and buccaneers. These robbed and spoiled, and often seized and put to death, the sailors and fishers and other humbler folk, while their leaders claimed friendship alike with Southern planters and New England merchants,--with whom it is said they frequently divided their spoils. The times were stern and the colonists were hardy, but they loved as truly and tenderly as in more peaceful days. Thus, while the hero's adventures with pirates and his search for their hidden treasure is a record of desperate encounters and daring deeds, his love-story and his winning of sweet Mary Vane is in delightful contrast. The Rome Express. BY MAJOR ARTHUR GRIFFITHS, author of "The Passenger from Calais," etc. Cloth decorative, with a colored frontispiece by A.O. Scott $1.25 A mysterious murder on a flying express train, a wily Italian, a charming woman caught in the meshes of circumstantial evidence, a chivalrous Englishman, and a police force with a keen nose for the wrong clue, are the ingredients from which Major Griffiths has concocted a clever, up-to-date detective story. The book is bright and spirited, with rapid action, and consistent development which brings the story to a logical and dramatic ending. The Morning Glory Club. BY GEORGE A. KYLE. Cloth decorative, with a colored frontispiece by A.O. Scott $1.25 The doings of the Morning Glory Club will furnish genuine amusement to the reader. Originally formed to "elevate" the village, it quickly develops into an exchange for town gossip. It has a saving grace, however, in the person of motherly Mrs. Stout, the uncultured but sweet-natured and pure-minded village philosopher, who pours the oil of her saneness and charity on the troubled waters of discussion and condemnation. It is a series of clear and interesting pictures of the humor of village life. The Chronicles of Martin Hewitt, Detective. NEW ILLUSTRATED EDITION. BY ARTHUR MORRISON, author of "The Green Diamond," "The Red Triangle," etc. Cloth decorative, with six full-page drawings by W. Kirkpatrick
