THE PORT OF MISSING MEN. With illustrations by Clarence F.
Underwood.
There is romance of love, mystery, plot, and fighting, and a
breathless dash and go about the telling which makes one quite forget
about the improbabilities of the story; and it all ends in the
old-fashioned healthy American way. Shirley is a sweet, courageous
heroine whose shining eyes lure from page to page.
ROSALIND AT REDGATE. Illustrated by Arthur I. Keller.
The author of "The House of a Thousand Candles" has here given us a
bouyant romance brimming with lively humor and optimism; with mystery
that breeds adventure and ends in love and happiness. A most
entertaining and delightful book.
THE MAIN CHANCE. With illustrations by Harrison Fisher.
A "traction deal" in a Western city is the pivot about which the action
of this clever story revolves. But it is in the character-drawing of the
principals that the author's strength lies. Exciting incidents develop
their inherent strength and weakness, and if virtue wins in the end, it
is quite in keeping with its carefully-planned antecedents. The N. Y.
_Sun_ says: "We commend it for its workmanship--for its smoothness, its
sensible fancies, and for its general charm."
ZELDA DAMERON. With portraits of the characters by John Cecil Clay.
"A picture of the new West, at once startlingly and attractively true.
* * * The heroine is a strange, sweet mixture of pride, wilfulness and
lovable courage. The characters are superbly drawn; the atmosphere is
convincing. There is about it a sweetness, a wholesomeness and a
sturdiness that commends it to earnest, kindly and wholesome
people."--_Boston Transcript_.
