ERT W. CHAMBERS. Illustrated by A.B. Wenzell. 12mo. Ornamental
Cloth, $1.50.

In "The Fighting Chance" Mr. Chambers has taken for his hero, a young
fellow who has inherited with his wealth a craving for liquor. The
heroine has inherited a certain rebelliousness and dangerous caprice.
The two, meeting on the brink of ruin, fight out their battles, two
weaknesses joined with love to make a strength. It is refreshing to find
a story about the rich in which all the women are not sawdust at heart,
nor all the men satyrs. The rich have their longings, their ideals,
their regrets, as well as the poor; they have their struggles and
inherited evils to combat. It is a big subject, painted with a big brush
and a big heart.

"After 'The House of Mirth' a New York society novel has to be very good
not to suffer fearfully by comparison. 'The Fighting Chance' is very
good and it does not suffer."--_Cleveland Plain Dealer_.

"There is no more adorable person in recent fiction than Sylvia
Landis."--_New York Evening Sun_.

"Drawn with a master hand."--_Toledo Blade_.

"An absorbing tale which claims the reader's interest to the
end."--_Detroit Free Press_.

"Mr. Chambers has written many brilliant stories, but this is his
masterpiece."--_Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph_.
