A Man's World
By ALBERT EDWARDS
Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net; postpaid, $1.36
"A striking book that should attract wide attention."—New York Tribune.
"There never has been a book like 'A Man's World.'... A novelist of skill and power.... His greatest gift is his power of creating the illusion of reality.... Vividness and conviction unite in the wonderful portrait of Nina.... There never has been such a character in American fiction before.... Nina will be one of the famous twentieth century heroines."—Brooklyn Eagle.
"It is a great book, full of the real things of life.... Zola might have written such a book had he lived in New York and not in Paris. Yet, it is doubtful if he could have told a better tale in a better way, for Nina and Ann are just as true to life as Nana and Ninon."—Chicago Record-Herald.
"The book is far from ordinary and its philosophy is extraordinary."—New York Times Book Review.
"A new type of human document—written in all sincerity and honesty."—New York Herald.

NEW MACMILLAN FICTION
WINSTON CHURCHILL'S NEW NOVEL
The Inside of the Cup
By the author of "A Modern Chronicle," "The Crisis,"
"Richard Carvel," etc.
READY MAY 25, 1913
Cloth, gilt top; illustrated, 12mo, $1.50 net; postpaid, $1.65
Mr. Churchill is acknowledged to be America's leading novelist. No other author has ever gained and held so large a following as Mr. Churchill. This new book is the most mature and vital of all his work and the one in which Mr. Churchill has achieved greatest originality. It is a powerful study of the modern tendencies in religion and their new relations to the modern life. It sets forth in most masterly delineation the personal history of a young clergyman, and the transformation of his views and attitudes toward life. It is a book that will provoke much discussion and admiration, dealing, as it does, with the more delicate phases of life to-day and of conditions vital to the national welfare.
One Woman's Life
By ROBERT HERRICK
Author of "Together," "The Healer," etc.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.35 net
The women characters of Robert Herrick's books have always been peculiarly significant. Sometimes storms of protest have centred around them and the ideas of womankind which the author has advanced through them. But the penetration and keenness of the analyses and, sentiment aside, the truth of the pictures, and the skill with which they have been drawn, have never been denied. The fact that in this new book Mr. Herrick gives his whole attention to the story of a woman is, therefore, an unusually interesting announcement. Milly Ridge is as striking and convincing a creation as has ever come from his pen, and in her struggle for social supremacy Mr. Herrick has a theme distinctly modern and admirably well suited to his powers.

A NEW DANBY NOVEL
Concert Pitch
By FRANK DANBY
Author of "The Heart of a Child," "Joseph in Jeopardy," "Sebastian," etc.
Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.35 net
In "Concert Pitch" Frank Danby has again written a love story of unflagging interest, full of thrilling passages and rich in the romance of real life. The book is crowded with types etched in with masterly fidelity of vision and sureness of touch, with feminine subtlety as well as virile audacity. Frank Danby's skill in making vividly real the people and conditions of London has never been shown to a better advantage than in her new novel.
The Feet of the Furtive
By CHARLES G. D. ROBERTS
Author of "The Backwoodsmen," "Neighbors Unknown," etc.
Illustrated by Paul Branson
Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.35 net
It is to be doubted whether there is a more popular animal writer to-day than Charles G. D. Roberts, whose stories of the inhabitants of forests and streams are read with pleasure by young and old alike. In this book are brought together some of his most interesting tales. The bear, the bat, the seal, the moose, the rabbit, and other animals are here made vivid in their life and habits. Mr. Roberts has true imaginative touches in his way of writing about the woods and their denizens. But he is not open to the charge of misrepresenting the facts in order to make a good story. As one well-known critic said, "He does not, in giving animals life, turn them into half humans; but he takes their pathos, their tragedy, their drama, on the animal level and writes for them as though they had their own interpreter whispering in his ear."

POOR, DEAR MARGARET KIRBY
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
Author of "Mother," "The Rich Mrs. Burgoyne"
Frontispiece in Color
Decorated Cloth, 12mo, $1.30 net
Though Kathleen Norris has become most widely known through her two novels, it was, as is frequently the case, through the short story field that she entered the ranks of fictionists. Her success in demonstrating that the creation of the short story is an art of itself makes the publication of this collection of tales from her pen most interesting. There are probably many people in this country who, if asked to name their favorite magazine writer, would name Mrs. Norris. Here is gathered together the best of the work upon which this reputation rests. Stories of sentiment, of purpose, humorous stories, stories reflecting the more serious phases of life, and stories which were evidently written just because they afforded their author pleasure, all find a place in this versatile volume.
PATSY
By S. R. CROCKETT
Author of "Love's Young Dream," "The Raiders," etc.
Decorated Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net
A lively, saucy person is Patsy, one of the best girl characters Mr. Crockett has ever depicted. She is the central figure in this new Galloway romance in which smuggling and Patsy's abduction and recapture by a royal prince and all the other good things synonymous with Mr. Crockett's name have a part. While the book is one of historical adventure, the love interest is paramount throughout. The time of the story is just one hundred years ago, when the country in which the scene is laid was in universal revolt against the brutal system of compulsory enlistment and bands were being formed to fight the manhunters, and smuggling was in full blast along the shores of Solway.

THE IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT ISRAELS
By FRANK B. COPLEY
Illustrated, Cloth, 12mo, $1.00 net
This is the story of the impeachment of David Israels, President of the United States, as told by his private secretary. Instead of preparing for war to avenge the killing of four American sailors, President Israels persisted in proposals for peace, finally sending a fleet to Constantinople to celebrate some Turkish anniversary, which act brought upon him the terrible stigma. All this, it might be explained, has yet to take place, for Israels is a future president. The effect of reality is well kept up by Mr. Copley, who incidentally introduces some very wholesome truths, notably that the way to realize universal peace is to refuse even to consider the possibility of war, that moral suasion is more forceful than physical threats, and that a war resulting from mob panic and hate is only folly and wickedness.
VANISHING POINTS
By ALICE BROWN
Author of "The Secret of the Clan"
Decorated Cloth, 12mo, $1.30 net
As a writer of delicately turned short stories, fine in their execution, Alice Brown has few equals. She is best known, perhaps, for her New England tales, and there are a number in the present collection which present the true and ever pleasing atmosphere of that part of this country. The book is not, however, composed solely of this kind of fiction. Not a few of the most interesting of the stories make their appeal because they rest on feelings, beliefs, and characteristics that are universal in human nature. One feels, as one reads of the man who thought that as so many people in this broad land must suffer from poverty and cold and hunger, he, too, should share their lot, or of the writer who, though his success did not appear to be great, was, nevertheless, influencing the work of others, or of the editor who took a stand against the unfair policy of his magazine, or of the mother who saved her son from the wiles of an adventuress, or of any, in fact, of Miss Brown's delightful characters, that the art of short fiction is at last coming into its own.

"There is not another book like this 'Crock of Gold' in English literature. There are many books like pieces of it, but the humor and the style—these things are Mr. Stephens's own peculiar gift"—The London Standard.
THE CROCK OF GOLD
By JAMES STEPHENS
Author of "The Hill of Vision"
Decorated Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net
A story of the open air, of deep forests, of rock-strewn pastures and mountain tops, and though the human element is not absent, of the fairy folk of old Ireland with the God Pan and the great Angus Og, this is what the author of "The Charwoman's Daughter," who is, perhaps, better known for his verse, "The Hill of Vision" and "Insurrections," tells. While the book should, perhaps, be regarded more as a fantasy with a beautiful moral than an ordinary novel, the discriminating reader will, nevertheless, find interwoven with it many a wise, witty, and penetrating reflection on human life and destiny.
Press Opinions
The Times.—"It is crammed full of life and beauty ... this delicious, fantastical, amorphous, inspired medley of topsy-turvydom."
The AthenÆum.—"In 'The Crock of Gold' Mr. Stephens gives the measure of a larger and more individual talent than could have been absolutely foretold.... There has been nothing hitherto quite like it, but it is safe to prophesy that by and by there will be plenty of imitators to take it for their pattern.... Mr. Stephens has produced a remarkably fine and attractive work of art."
The Globe.—"We have read nothing quite like 'The Crock of Gold.' It has a charm and humor peculiar to itself, and places its author high in the ranks of imaginative poetic writers."
The Nation.—"The final state (in the case of the reviewer) was one of complete surrender to the author—'go on, go on, fiddle on your theme what harmonics you will; this is delightful.'... Mr. Stephens's novel, 'The Charwoman's Daughter,' was a remarkable book, and, in this one, he shows he can succeed as well in quite other directions."
