Detective and mystery stories
The little "Mennonite Maid" who wanders through these pages is
something quite new in fiction. Tillie is hungry for books and
beauty and love; and she comes into her inheritance at the end.
"Tillie is faulty, sensitive, big-hearted, eminently human, and
first, last and always lovable. Her charm glows warmly, the story
is well handled, the characters skilfully developed."--_The Book
Buyer._
LADY ROSE'S DAUGHTER. By Mrs. Humphry Ward. With illustrations by Howard
Chandler Christy.
"The most marvellous work of its wonderful author."--_New York
World._ "We touch regions and attain altitudes which it is not
given to the ordinary novelist even to approach."--_London Times._
"In no other story has Mrs. Ward approached the brilliancy and
vivacity of Lady Rose's Daughter."--_North American Review._
THE BANKER AND THE BEAR. By Henry K. Webster.
"An exciting and absorbing story."--_New York Times._ "Intensely
thrilling in parts, but an unusually good story all through. There
is a love affair of real charm and most novel surroundings, there
is a run on the bank which is almost worth a year's growth, and
there is all manner of exhilarating men and deeds which should
bring the book into high and permanent favor."--_Chicago Evening
Post._

BIRD NEIGHBORS. An Introductory Acquaintance with 150 Birds Commonly

Blanchan. With an Introduction by John Burroughs, and many plates of
birds in natural colors. Large Quarto, size 7-3/4x10-3/8, Cloth.
Formerly published at $2.00. Our special price, $1.00.
As an aid to the elementary study of bird life nothing has ever
been published more satisfactory than this most successful of
Nature Books. This book makes the identification of our birds
simple and positive, even to the uninitiated, through certain
unique features. I. All the birds are grouped according to color,
in the belief that a bird's coloring is the first and often the
only characteristic noticed. II. By another classification, the
birds are grouped according to their season. III. All the popular
names by which a bird is known are given both in the descriptions
and the index. The colored plates are the most beautiful and
accurate ever given in a moderate-priced and popular book. The most
successful and widely sold Nature Book yet published.
