In this new novel Mr. Scott returns to modern times, where he is as much
at home as when writing of imaginary kingdoms or the days of powder and
patches. Mr. Scott's last novel, "The Impostor," had Annapolis in 1776
as its _locale_, but he shows his versatility by centering the important
events of this romance in and around Annapolis of today.
There are mystery and action a-plenty, and a charming love interest adds
greatly to an already brilliant and exciting narrative.
_CRITICAL OPINIONS_
"A brisk and cleanly tale."--_Smart Set._

kept within the bounds of likelihood."--_San Francisco
Chronicle._
"A charming and captivating romance filled with action from the
opening to the close, so fascinating is the story
wrought."--_Pittsburgh Post._
"Just such a dashing tale of love and adventure as habitual

told tale with relieving touches of dry humor and a climax
unusual and strong."--_Chicago Record Herald._

_By GRACE LIVINGSTON HILL LUTZ_
=Dawn of the Morning=
Illustrated in color by ANNA WHELAN BETTS.
Decorated cloth. 12mo. $1.25 net.
Like her most successful stories, "Marcia Schuyler" and "Phoebe Deane,"
Mrs. Lutz's new novel is set in New York State about 1826--quaint old
days of poke bonnets and full skirts.
It is a refreshingly sweet and charming story and the author has created
in Dawn, a gentle appealing heroine, whose tangled romance only serves
to make more happy the beautiful ending when all the threads of Dawn's
life are straightened out.
=Phoebe Deane=
Frontispiece in color and five illustrations from paintings by
E.L. HENRY, N.A. 12mo. Cloth, with medallion, $1.50.
Few present-day books are so thoroughly wholesome, fresh and charming as
this quiet, old-fashioned romance, as refreshingly sweet as the name of
its heroine.
Phoebe Deane, a motherless girl, meets the trials of a life of
dependence, and an unwelcome suitor, with a brave, sweet spirit. In
spite of deceit and treachery, her lover at last comes to her rescue,
and her happiness is assured.
=Marcia Schuyler=
Frontispiece in color by ANNA WHELAN BETTS, and six illustrations
from paintings by E.L. HENRY, N.A. Fifth edition. 12mo.
Cloth, with medallion, $1.50.
The story opens upon the wedding preparations for the marriage of
winsome, wilful Kate to strong and good David. Complications arise by
which David marries her younger sister Marcia instead and it is only
after a period of trials and heartaches that Marcia wins her husband's
love when he comes to understand her worthiness and Kate's heartless
frivolity and duplicity. The _Chicago Tribune_ pronounces Marcia "One of
the most lovable heroines that ever lived her life in the pages of a
romance."

_A NOVEL OF THE REAL WEST_
"=ME--SMITH="
By CAROLINE LOCKHART
With five illustrations by Gayle Hoskins
12mo. Cloth, $1.20 net.
Miss Lockhart is a true daughter of the West, her father being a large
ranch-owner and she has had much experience in the saddle and among the
people who figure in her novel.
"Smith" is one type of Western "Bad Man," an unusually powerful and
appealing character who grips and holds the reader through all his
deeds, whether good or bad.
It is a story with red blood in it. There is the cry of the coyote, the
deadly thirst for revenge as it exists in the wronged Indian toward the
white man, the thrill of the gaming table, and the gentleness of pure,
true love. To the very end the tense dramatism of the tale is maintained
without relaxation.
"Gripping, vigorous story."--_Chicago Record-Herald._
"This is a real novel, a big novel."--_Indianapolis News._
"Not since the publication of 'The Virginian' has so powerful a
cowboy story been told."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._
"A remarkable book in its strength of portrayal and its
directness of development. It cannot be read without being
remembered."--_The World To-Day._

_By ELIZABETH DEJEANS_
=The Winning Chance=
Frontispiece in color by Gayle P. Hoskins.
12mo. Ornamental cloth, $1.50.
We have no hesitancy in pronouncing this powerful story one of the most
impressive studies of our highly nervous American life that has been
published in a long while. It is written with enormous vitality and
emotional energy. The grip it takes on one intensifies as the story
proceeds.
=The Heart of Desire=
Illustrations in colors by The Kinneys.
12mo. Ornamental cloth, $1.50.
A remarkable novel, full of vital force, which gives us a glimpse into
the innermost sanctuary of a woman's soul--a revelation of the truth
that to a woman there may be a greater thing than the love of a man--the
story pictured against a wonderful Southern California background.
=The Far Triumph=
Illustrated in color by Martin Justice.
12mo. Ornamental cloth, $1.25 net.
Here is a romance, strong and appealing, one which will please all
classes of readers. From the opening of the story until the last word of
the last chapter Mrs. Dejeans' great novel of modern American life will
hold the reader's unflagging interest. Living, breathing people move
before us, and the author touches on some phases of society of momentous
interest to women--and to men.

=She Buildeth Her House=
"The Strongest American Novel"
_Chicago Journal._
Seldom has the author of a first great novel so brilliantly transcended
his initial success. A man and a woman inspiringly fitted for each other
sweep into the zone of mutual attraction at the opening of the story.
Destiny demands that each overcomes certain formidable destructible
forces before either is tempered and refined for the glorious Union of
Two to form One.
With colored frontispiece, by Martin Justice.
Decorated cloth, net $1.25
=Routledge Rides Alone=
"A gripping story. The terrible intensity of the writer holds one
chained to the book."--_Chicago Tribune._
Mr. Comfort has drawn upon two practically new story places in the world
of fiction to furnish the scenes for his narrative--India and Manchuria
at the time of the Russo-Japanese War. While the novel is distinguished
by its clear and vigorous war scenes, the fine and sweet romance of the
love of the hero, Routledge--a brave, strange, and talented
American--for the "most beautiful woman in London" rivals these in
interest.
With colored frontispiece by Martin Justice.
12mo. Cloth, with inlay in color $1.50.
