The voice of the unknown man sank lower and lower. Then he turned his head toward the east, and said softly, as though praying: "I die without seeing the light of dawn on my country.

The characters are put before us with a consummate knowledge of the world and a penetrating insight into human nature. Cloth. 12mo; 5-1/8 x 7-3/4. About $1.50.

"April's Sowing" is that most widely appreciated thing in letters, a young love story. Illustrated by Orson Lowell. With decorative cover, frontispiece, title page in color, and ornamental head and tail pieces. Cloth. 12mo; 5-1/8 x 7-3/4. $1.50.
