THE EAGLE SERIES
Principally Copyrights Elegant Colored Covers
“THE RIGHT BOOKS AT THE RIGHT PRICE”
While the books in the New Eagle Series are undoubtedly better value,
being bigger books, the stories offered to the public in this line
must not be underestimated. There are over four hundred copyrighted
books by famous authors, which cannot be had in any other line. No
other publisher in the world has a line that contains so many different
titles, nor can any publisher ever hope to secure books that will match
those in the Eagle Series in quality.
This is the pioneer line of copyrighted novels, and that it has struck
popular fancy just right is proven by the fact that for fifteen years
it has been the first choice of American readers. The only reason
that we can afford to give such excellent reading at such a low
price is that our unlimited capital and great organization enable us
to manufacture books more cheaply and to sell more of them without
expensive advertising, than any other publishers.
ALL TITLES ALWAYS IN PRINT
TO THE PUBLIC:--Those books are sold by news dealers
everywhere. If your dealer does not keep them, and will
not get them for you, send direct to the publishers, in
which case four cents must be added to the price per
copy to cover postage.

_GREAT STORIES BY A GREAT AUTHOR_
_The New Fiction Series_
Letters of congratulation have been showered upon us from all over the
country by enthusiastic readers who say that had we not announced that
Mr. Cook wrote all of these stories, it would have been very difficult
to determine it.
The reason is that Mr. Cook is a widely traveled man and has,
therefore, been enabled to lay the plot of one of his stories in the
“land of little rain,” another on the high seas, another in Spain and
Spanish America, and to write a railroad story that a reader of thirty
years’ experience decided must have been written by a veteran railroad
man. If stories of vigorous adventure are wanted, stories that are
drawn true to life and give that thrill which all really good fiction
ought to give, the books listed here are what you want.
_ALL TITLES ALWAYS IN PRINT_
TO THE PUBLIC:--These books are sold by news dealers
everywhere. If your dealer does not keep them, and will
not get them for you, send direct to the publishers, in
which case four cents must be added to the price per

THIN FOR YEARS
[Illustration]
“Gains 22 Pounds in 23 Days”
“I was all run down to the very bottom,” writes F. Gagnon. “I had to
quit work I was so weak. Now, thanks to Sargol, I look like a new man.
I gained 22 pounds in 23 days.”
“I weighed 132 pounds when I commenced taking Sargol. After taking 20
days I weighed 144 pounds. Sargol is the most wonderful preparation
of flesh building I have ever seen,” declares D. Martin, and J. Meier
adds: “For the past twenty years I have taken medicine every day
for indigestion and got thinner every year. I took Sargol for forty
days and feel better than I have felt in twenty years. My weight has
increased from 150 to 170 pounds.”
When hundreds of men and women--and there are hundreds, with more
coming every day--living in every nook and corner of this broad land
voluntarily testify to weight increases ranging all the way from 10 to
35 pounds given them by Sargol, you must admit, Mr. and Mrs. and Miss
Thin Reader, that there must be something in this Sargol method of
flesh building after all.
Sargol is absolutely harmless. It is a tiny concentrated tablet. You
take one with every meal. It mixes with the food you eat for the
purpose of separating all of its flesh producing ingredients. It
prepares these fat making elements in an easily assimilated form, which
the blood can readily absorb and carry all over your body. Plump,
well-developed persons don’t need Sargol to produce this result. Their
assimilative machinery performs its functions without aid. But thin
folks’ assimilative organs do not. This fatty portion of their food
now goes to waste through their bodies like unburned coal through an
open grate. A few days’ test of Sargol in your case will surely prove
whether or not this is true of you. Isn’t it worth trying?
50c BOX FREE
To enable any thin reader, 10 pounds or more under weight, to easily
make this test, we will give a 50c box of Sargol absolutely free.
Either Sargol will increase your weight or it won’t and the only way to
know is to try it. Send for this Free Test Package to-day, enclosing
10c in silver or stamps to help pay postage, packing, etc., and a full
size 50c package will be sent by return mail free of charge. Mail this
coupon with your letter to the Sargol Co., Dept. 23 Herald Bldg.,
Binghamton, N. Y.
Come, Eat With Us at Our Expense.
This coupon entitles any person to one 50c package of Sargol, the
concentrated Flesh Builder (provided you have never tried it), and that
10c is enclosed to cover postage, packing, etc. Read our advertisement
printed above, and then put 10c in silver in letter to-day, with coupon
and the full 50c package will be sent you by return post. Address: =The
Sargol Company, Dept. 23 Herald Bldg., Binghamton, N. Y.= Write your
name and address plainly and =Pin This Coupon to Your Letter=.
Why Take a Chance?
Most everybody thinks that the public library is a mighty fine
institution--teaches people to read, and all that. Well, so it does,
but does any one ever think of the great risk that a person, who takes
a book out of a public library, runs of catching some contagious
disease?
Every time a bacteriological examination is made of the public-library
book, germs of every known disease are found among its pages. Probably,
from your own experience, you know that lots of people never think of
taking a book from the public library, until some one in their family
is sick and wants something to read.
As records prove that ninety per cent of the demand for books at the
public libraries is for works of fiction, it strikes us that the
reading public would do better to patronize the S. & S. novel list
which contains hundreds of books to be found in the public libraries,
and many hundreds of others just as good and interesting.
The price of the S. & S. novels is a low one indeed to pay for
protection from disease-laden literature. Why run the risk, then, when
you can get a fresh, clean book for little money and thus insure your
health?

SWEET VIOLET.
CHAPTER I.
FAIREST OF THE FAIR.
Judge Camden’s two beautiful granddaughters were the pride of Fauquier
County, and both were so charming that Paris himself must have
hesitated long before awarding the golden apple to one alone as fairest
of the fair.
Violet Mead and Amber Laurens were cousins and orphans, and looked upon
as heiresses, for all of the old judge’s money would come to them at
his death.
Violet was as lovely as her namesake flower, a blonde, with curling
golden hair, dazzling dark-blue eyes, a pink and white skin, and an
arch, spirited face, where Cupid hid in bewitching dimples. She was
barely seventeen, and Amber but one year older--Amber, the brilliant
brunette, with her graceful, willowy form, so tall and slender,
golden-hazel eyes, olive skin, and dark-brown tresses in smooth, satiny
braids at the back of her proud little head. They were as different in
mind as in looks, for Violet was frank, free, spirited, with a sunshiny
nature; while Amber was quite the reverse in everything--reserved and
dignified, with an undercurrent of jealous pride and passion.
The two girls had never been as fond of each other as some cousins, but
they were carelessly affectionate, and they might never have become
so terribly alienated had they not had the bitter misfortune of losing
their hearts to the same man.
How many alienations have come from this one cause; how many awful
tragedies have followed in its train; how many hearts have been broken
for a jealous love!
“Oh, Love! so sweet at first,
So bitter in the end;
Thou canst be fiercest foe,
As well as fairest friend!”
Cecil Grant had met Amber Laurens first while her cousin was away
at boarding-school. He admired the brilliant brunette very much,
and showed her enough attention to set the gossips of Greenville to
predicting a match between the extremely handsome pair.
But, suddenly, when the summer was at its goldenest, the Virginia skies
their bluest, the flowers their fairest, Violet Mead came home from
school, her curly, golden head full of romantic fancies, herself the
sweetest flower that bloomed at Golden Willows, the judge’s picturesque
country home. She had never had a lover, but the romantic little maiden
had begun to dream already of her fate.
When Cecil Grant met Violet, in her bonny, joyous girlhood, so happy
and so lovely, it was like a revelation to his burning heart.
He realized in a moment that his admiration for Amber had been but
an idle fancy for a coquettish beauty. Let others hesitate as they
would over the cousin’s beauty, he thought Violet the truest, fairest,
purest, and most charming girl in the whole world. His heart went out
to her in a tide of resistless love, and he vowed to win her for his
worshiped bride.
And if jealous, imperious Amber had not already given him her proud,
passionate heart, he might have succeeded in his aim and realized his
dreams of happiness and bliss.
But, day by day, Amber Laurens had marked his adoration for Violet, and
at last she woke up to the fatal truth that she had lost her admirer.
The sleeping tiger was aroused in her nature, and from that moment
sweet Violet’s fate was sealed.
Ah, the pity of it that love should ever change to hate--that a jealous
nature should stop at nothing till it had laid waste all the fair
flowers of hope and joy springing to life in a young girl’s heart!
“This is where the roses grew,
Till the ground was all perfume,
And whenever zephyrs blew,
Carpeted with crimson bloom.
Now the chill and scentless air
Sweeps the flower-plots brown and bare!”
