By ROBERT HERRICK Author of “The Common Lot,” “The Real World,” etc., etc. With 45 Illustrations by F. B. Masters Cloth 12mo $1.50 In his grasp on the popular interest Mr. Herrick’s mastery grows with every new book he writes. Just because they are human, alive, and above all sincere, they hold one as no tales of silks and swords in an imaginary land could possibly do. The “American” of his new story walks into the Chicago markets from Indiana, to all appearances a tramp—in reality a country boy who has quarrelled with his home surroundings and flung himself into the city to fight for a future. The novel opens in time and scenes of Chicago in 1877. It includes among other incidents a glimpse of the strained days of the Haymarket riot and the trial that followed. It is a novel with more than a passing appeal to one’s sympathies, and taken as a whole seems certain to be at once the most popular and the best thing that Mr. Herrick has written. THE SECRET WOMAN By EDEN PHILLPOTTS Author of “The American Prisoner,” “My Devon Year,” etc. Cloth 12mo $1.50 “There cannot be two opinions as to the interest and the power of ‘The Secret Woman.’ It is not only its author’s masterpiece, but it is far in advance of anything he has yet written—and that is to give it higher praise than almost any other comparison with contemporary fiction could afford.” THE LODESTAR By SIDNEY R. KENNEDY With Illustrations by The Kinneys Cloth 12mo $1.50 “The novel is full of humor, a humor of a gentle, quiet, almost wistful quality, and its effect is to make us more in love with life and with our fellow-mortals.”—_News and Courier._ THE MASTER-WORD _A STORY OF THE SOUTH TO-DAY_ By L. H. HAMMOND Cloth 12mo $1.50 “Mrs. Hammond has conceived and portrayed what is perhaps the most difficult situation on earth.... The writer has a large heart and wide sympathies; she has told her story freely and well, treading both firmly and delicately on difficult ground.... She has done some admirable work, and has achieved a striking story, quite out of the ordinary.”—_N. Y. Times._ THE GOLDEN HOPE _A STORY OF THE TIME OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT_ By ROBERT H. FULLER Cloth 12mo $1.50 “All together this is a powerful story and a vivid, correct, and intensely interesting picture of the most prosperous days of the Macedonian kingdom.”—_The Watchman._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 64–66 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK
