We wish to call most particular attention to a collection of short
Western stories by Mrs. Peattie, entitled "A Mountain Woman." The book
contains several of the best tales of Western life ever written. The
Nebraska stories throw so true a light upon recent conditions in the
sub-arid belt that they explain, better than any political speeches or
arguments could do, the reasons why men in that part of the country are
advocating free silver.--_Review of Reviews_.
With a cover designed by Bruce Rogers. 16mo. Cloth. $1.25.

By GEORGE ADE
PINK MARSH
A story of the Streets and Town.
There is, underlying these character sketches, a refinement of feeling
that wins and retains one's admiration.--_St. Louis Globe-Democrat_.
Here is a perfect triumph of characterization ... Pink must become a
household word.--_Kansas City Star_.
It is some time since we have met with a more amusing character than is
"Pink Marsh," or to give him his full title, William Pinckney Marsh of
Chicago.... "Pink" is not a conventional "coon" of the comic paper and
the variety ball, but a genuine flesh and blood type, presented with a
good deal of literary and artistic skill.--_New York Sun_.
16mo. Cloth. Uniform with "Artie." With forty full-page
illustrations by John T. McCutcheon. Eighth thousand. $1.25.
ARTIE
A story of the Streets and Town.
Mr. Ade shows all the qualities of a successful novelist.--_Chicago
Tribune_.
Artie is a character, and George Ade has limned him deftly as well as
amusingly. Under his rollicking abandon and recklessness we are made
to feel the real sense and sensitiveness, and the worldly wisdom of a
youth whose only language is that of a street-gamin. As a study of the
peculiar type chosen, it is both typical and inimitable.--_Detroit Free
Press_.
16mo. Cloth. Uniform with "Pink Marsh." With many illustrations by
John T. McCutcheon. Sixteenth thousand. $1.25.

By HENRY JAMES
IN THE CAGE: A NOVELETTE
With every recent story Mr. James seems to have entered a new field.
"What Maisie Knew" was certainly a wide departure from his previous
work, and "In The Cage," the life of a girl behind the wire screen of
an English telegraph office, is as novel as one could wish. The story
is slight and the incidents are few, but the charm of Mr. James's
style, the absolute precision of his expression, the keenness of the
analysis make the book remarkable in contemporary fiction.
