"The writing is cleverly done, and the old-fashioned atmosphere of old Knickerbocker days is reproduced with such a touch of verity as to seem an actual chronicle recorded by one who lived in those days."--_Saturday Evening Post_, Philadelphia. "The supreme test of a long book is the reading of it, and when one reaches the end of Free to Serve, he acknowledges freely that it is the best book that he has taken up for a long time."--_Boston Herald._ For sale by all booksellers, or sent, postpaid, by the publishers on receipt of price. Small, Maynard & Company, PIERCE BUILDING COPLEY SQ., BOSTON Two Remarkable Volumes of Stories. ANTING-ANTING STORIES, And Other Strange Tales of the Filipinos. BY SARGENT KAYME. With cover design by WILLIAM MATHER CROCKER. 12mo., cloth. ~$1.25~ The sub-title to this volume gives a suggestion of the nature of the stories of which it is composed, but no title can give an adequate idea of their wonderful variety and charm. It is hardly exaggeration to say that Mr. Kayme's treatment of the life of the Filipinos opens to our literature a new field, almost as fresh and as original as did Mr. Kipling's Indian Stories when they first appeared. Like Mr. Kipling, he shows his perfect familiarity with the country and people he describes; and he knows how to tell a good story straight away and simply without any sacrifice of dramatic effect or power. The curious title to the volume furnishes the motive for some of the most striking of the stories. _Anting-Anting_ is a Filipino word, used to denote anything worn as an amulet, with a supposed power to protect the life of the wearer. Often a thing of no intrinsic value, the belief in its efficacy is yet so real that its owner often braves death with a confidence so sublime as to command admiration, if not respect. WHEN EVE WAS NOT CREATED, And Other Stories. BY HERVEY WHITE, author of _Differences_ and _Quicksand_ 12mo., cloth, with a cover design by MARION L. PEABODY. ~$1.25~ Remarkable stories of a type and style of subjective symbolism altogether new to American literature. In the title story Svend, as a type expressive of the suppression of the artistic sense in love, where, the eye being satisfied with the object, the heart, the soul, the mind of the man, yet goes hungry and unsatisfied, will fix himself in the reader's mind as one of the strongest characters of fiction. The other stories are scarcely less noteworthy, and the book as a whole will add greatly to the author's already high reputation as a writer.
