Detective and mystery stories
"Here are dexterity of plot, glancing play at witty talk,
characters really human and humanly real, spirit and gladness,
freshness and quick movement. 'Half a Rogue' is as brisk as a
horseback ride on a glorious morning. It is as varied as an April
day. It is as charming as two most charming girls can make it. Love
and honor and success and all the great things worth fighting for
and living for the involved in 'Half a Rogue.'"--_Phila. Press._
THE GIRL FROM TIM'S PLACE. By Charles Clark Munn. With illustrations by
Frank T. Merrill.
"Figuring in the pages of this story there are several strong
characters. Typical New England folk and an especially sturdy one,
old Cy Walker, through whose instrumentality Chip comes to
happiness and fortune. There is a chain of comedy, tragedy, pathos
and love, which makes a dramatic story."--_Boston Herald._
THE LION AND THE MOUSE. A story of American Life. By Charles Klein, and
Arthur Hornblow. With illustrations by Stuart Travis, and Scenes from
the Play.
The novel duplicated the success of the play; in fact the book is
greater than the play. A portentous clash of dominant personalities
that form the essence of the play are necessarily touched upon but
briefly in the short space of four acts. All this is narrated in
the novel with a wealth of fascinating and absorbing detail, making
it one of the most powerfully written and exciting works of fiction
given to the world in years.
BARBARA WINSLOW, REBEL. By Elizabeth Ellis. With illustrations by John
Rae, and colored inlay cover.
The following, taken from story, will best describe the heroine: A
TOAST: "To the bravest comrade in misfortune, the sweetest
companion in peace and at all times the most courageous of
women."--_Barbara Winslow._ "A romantic story, buoyant, eventful,
and in matters of love exactly what the heart could desire."--_New
York Sun._
SUSAN. By Ernest Oldmeadow. With a color frontispiece by Frank Haviland.
Medallion in color on front cover.
Lord Ruddington falls helplessly in love with Miss Langley, whom he
sees in one of her walks accompanied by her maid, Susan. Through a
misapprehension of personalities his lordship addresses a love
missive to the maid. Susan accepts in perfect good faith, and an
epistolary love-making goes on till they are disillusioned. It
naturally makes a droll and delightful little comedy; and is a
story that is particularly clever in the telling.
WHEN PATTY WENT TO COLLEGE. By Jean Webster. With illustrations by C. D.
Williams.
