Conjuror's House: A Romance of the Free Forest
White, Stewart Edward
Canada, Northern -- Fiction
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.
CAROLINA LEE. By Lillian Bell. With frontispiece by Dora Wheeler
Keith.
Carolina Lee is the Uncle Tom's Cabin of Christian Science. Its
keynote is "Divine Love" in the understanding of the knowledge of all
good things which may be obtainable. When the tale is told, the sick
healed, wrong changed to right, poverty of purse and spirit turned
into riches, lovers made worthy of each other and happily united,
including Carolina Lee and her affinity, it is borne upon the reader
that he has been giving rapid attention to a free lecture on Christian
Science; that the working out of each character is an argument for
"Faith;" and that the theory is persuasively attractive.
A Christian Science novel that will bring delight to the heart of
every believer in that faith. It is a well told story, entertaining,
and cleverly mingles art, humor and sentiment.
HILMA, by William Tillinghast Eldridge, with illustrations by
Harrison Fisher and Martin Justice, and inlay cover.
