WILFRED T. GRENFELL, M. D. Down North on The LabradorIllustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00. A new collection of Labrador yarns by the man who has succeeded in making isolated Labrador a part of the known world. Like its predecessor the new volume, while confined exclusively to facts in Dr. Grenfell's daily life, is full of romance, adventure and excitement. The N. Y. Sun recently said: "Admirable as is the work that Dr. Grenfell is doing on the Labrador coast, the books he has written, make his readers almost wish he would give up some of it to write more." CLARA E. LAUGHLIN The GleanersA Novellette. Illustrated, decorated boards, net 75c. Again Miss Laughlin has given us a master-piece in this story of present day life. Millet's picture, "The Gleaners," is the moving spirit of this little romance and, incidentally, one catches the inspiration the artist portrays in his immortal canvas. "The Gleaners" is issued in similar style to "Everybody's Lonesome," of which the Toronto Globe said: "One of the successful writers of 'Good Cheer' stories for old and young is Miss Laughlin, and whoever reads one of her cheery little volumes desires more." PROF. EDWARD A. STEINER Author of "The Immigrant Tide," etc. The Broken WallStories of the Mingling Folk. Illustrated, net $1.00. Professor Steiner has the story-teller's knack and uses his art with consummate skill in this collection, where will be found dramatic tragedy and profound pathos in strong contrast with keen humor and brilliant wit, all permeated by an uncompromising optimism. No man has probed the heart of the immigrant more deeply, and his interpretation of these Americans of tomorrow is at once a revelation and an inspiration: a liberal education in brotherhood. A. D. STEWART Heather and Peat12mo, cloth, net $1.20. "This is a very delightful story, told in the broadest and most fascinating Scotch language. The author belongs of right to that class of modern Scotch writers who bring out matters of vital human interest, with religious and tender touches, and this story is one that any writer might be proud of and any reader of feeling and vitality must delight in."—Journal and Messenger. YANG PING YU The Love Story of a Maiden of CathayTold in Letters from Yang Ping Yu. Finely decorated boards, net 50c. Written in English picturesquely colored with Chinese, at once naive and yet full of worldly wisdom, frank and yet discreetly reserved. The story as told in the letters is real, vivid, convincing. It is a human document that will compel the attention of the reader from beginning to end, and verify again the saying that "truth is stranger than fiction." MARION BLYTHE An American Bride in Porto RicoIllustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00. "The story is very pleasant and very human. In her bravery and courage, in her wit and merriment, the bride reminds one somewhat of the "Lady of the Decoration." This similarity adds, however, rather than detracts from the charm of the book. She is thoroughly good-natured and clever and companionable, with a whimsical and ever-present sense of humor."—Chicago Evening Post. ISLA MAY MULLINS The Boy from Hollow HutIllustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00. Readers of John Fox, Jr.'s stories will recognize the location of this story at once. The author and her husband, President of the great Theological Seminary of Louisville, have taken a large interest in these descendants of some of the best American stock. Through the tender humanness of her narrative Mrs. Mullins bids fair to gain a large audience for this intensely interesting work. DR. OLIVIA A. BALDWIN Sita, A Story of Child-Marriage Fetters.12mo, cloth, net $1.25. A realistic story of native and mission life in India; a story dealing with the stress of famine and the pathetic condition of India's child-widows. MRS. MAUD JOHNSON ELMORE The Revolt of SundarammaWith an introduction by Helen B. Montgomery. Illustrated by Gertrude H. B. Hooker. Net $1.00. Sundaramma, a Hindu maiden, is the heroine of this story which relates her revolt against child marriage and her flight from such slavery. NORMAN DUNCAN Author of "Dr. Luke," etc. The Measure of a ManA Tale of the Big Woods. Illustrated, net $1.25. "The Measure of a Man" is Mr. Duncan's first full-sized novel having a distinct motif and purpose since "Doctor Luke of The Labrador." The tale of the big woods has for its hero, John Fairmeadow—every inch a man whom the Lumber Jacks of his parish in the pines looked up to as their Sky Pilot. Human nature in the rough is here portrayed with a faithfulness that is convincing. ROBERT E. KNOWLES Author of "St. Cuthberts," etc. The Singer of the KootenayA Tale of To-day. 12mo, cloth, net $1.20. The scene of action for Mr. Knowles' latest novel is in the Crow's Nest Pass of the Kootenay Mountains of British Columbia. To this dramatic field he has gone for local color and has taken every advantage of his wide knowledge, picturing life of every phase in his most artistic style. HAROLD BEGBIE Author of "Twice-Born Men" The Shadow12mo, cloth, net $1.25. A new story by the novelist whose study of regeneration, "Twice-Born Men" has made the religious world fairly gasp at its startling revelations of the almost overlooked proofs of the power of conversion to be found among the lowest humanity. His latest work is a brilliant study of modern life which will maintain the author's reputation. RUPERT HUGHES Miss 318A Story in Season and out of Season. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net 75c. "Is there any excuse for one more Christmas story?" "Surely nothing has been left unsaid." "The truth, perhaps." "The truth?—about Christmas! Would anybody care to read it?" "Perhaps." "But would anybody dare to publish it?" "Probably not." "That sounds interesting! What nobody would care to read and nobody would dare to publish, ought to be well worth writing." J. J. BELL Author of "Oh! Christina!" etc. The Indiscretions of Maister RedhornIllustrated, 16mo, cloth, net 60c. The thousands who have read Wullie McWattie's Master will need no introduction to this Scottish "penter" and his "pint o' view." The same dry Scottish humor, winning philosophy and human nature fairly overflow these pages. |
