Comrades: A Story of Social Adventure in California
Dixon, Thomas, Jr.
California -- Fiction; Socialism -- Fiction
A brilliant chapter in natural history. Infinitely more wholesome
reading than the average tale of sport, since it gives a glimpse of
the hunt from the point of view of the hunted. "True in substance but
fascinating as fiction. It will interest old and young, city-bound and
free-footed, those who know animals and those who do not."--_Chicago
Record-Herald._

=NEDRA, by George Barr McCutcheon, with color frontispiece, and
other illustrations by Harrison Fisher.=
The story of an elopement of a young couple from Chicago, who decide
to go to London, travelling as brother and sister. Their difficulties
commence in New York and become greatly exaggerated when they are
shipwrecked in mid-ocean. The hero finds himself stranded on the
island of Nedra with another girl, whom he has rescued by mistake. The
story gives an account of their finding some of the other passengers,
and the circumstances which resulted from the strange mix-up.
=POWER LOT, by Sarah P. McLean Greene. Illustrated.=
The story of the reformation of a man and his restoration to
self-respect through the power of honest labor, the exercise of honest
independence, and the aid of clean, healthy, out-of-door life and
surroundings. The characters take hold of the heart and win sympathy.
The dear old story has never been more lovingly and artistically told.
=MY MAMIE ROSE. The History of My Regeneration, by Owen
Kildare. Illustrated.=
This _autobiography_ is a powerful book of love and sociology. Reads
like the strangest fiction. Is the strongest truth and deals with the
story of a man's redemption through a woman's love and devotion.
=JOHN BURT, by Frederick Upham Adams, with illustrations.=
John Burt, a New England lad, goes West to seek his fortune and finds
it in gold mining. He becomes one of the financial factors and
pitilessly crushes his enemies. The story of the Stock Exchange
manipulations was never more vividly and engrossingly told. A love
story runs through the book, and is handled with infinite skill.
=THE HEART LINE, by Gelett Burgess, with halftone illustrations
by Lester Ralph, and inlay cover in colors.=
A great dramatic story of the city that was. A story of Bohemian life
in San Francisco, before the disaster, presented with mirror-like
accuracy. Compressed into it are all the sparkle, all the gayety, all
the wild, whirling life of the glad, mad, bad, and most delightful
city of the Golden Gate.
