“We are carried from one scene to another with an ease and expeditiousness that plainly betokens the author’s familiarity with the length and breadth of the Western country, and the people he so vividly portrays,” says the San Francisco News-Letter. Hon. John D. Long, ex-Secretary of the Navy, in a letter to the author, says: “You have the story-teller’s art. I like especially those portions of the book which treat of Western scenes and life—the homestead, the plain, the prairie, the pioneer’s experience, the mining camp, Cripple Creek, and Pike’s Peak. You bring out the growth of the country, the speculative ups and downs, the mountain curves of the narrow railroads; and the winter scene with the dangerous trip over the mountain from Feather Bow is very graphic.” LITTLE, BROWN, & CO., Publishers BOSTON, MASS. A Stirring Tale of the Plains THE RAINBOW CHASERS By JOHN H. WHITSON Author of “Barbara, A Woman of the West” Full of the atmosphere of the West, with Dick Brewster, alias Jackson Blake, cowboy, land speculator, and lover, for its hero, Mr. Whitson’s new novel, without being in the least a copy, has many of the attractions of Mr. Wister’s hero, “The Virginian.” “The Rainbow Chasers” is a virile American novel with its principal scenes laid in Western Kansas during the land boom of '85. The male characters are vigorous men, with red blood in their veins; and the heroine, Elinor Spencer, is a high-spirited but lovable Western girl. The Brooklyn Eagle says:— “It is a picturesque narrative, striking in its portrayal of conditions that have vanished. It is one of those works of fiction which, like ‘The Virginian,’ deserve to rank as books of social and economic history, because of the picturing of conditions, vital while they existed, that have passed away.” With 6 illustrations by Arthur E. Becher. 393 pages. 12 mo. Decorated cloth, $1.50 LITTLE, BROWN, & CO., Publishers, BOSTON At all Booksellers “A Spell-binding Creation”—Lilian Whiling MYSTERIOUS MR. SABIN By E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM Author of “A Prince of Sinners,” “Anna the Adventuress,” etc. Illustrated. 397 pages. 12mo. $1.50 Deals with an intrigue of international moment—the fomenting of a war between Great Britain and Germany and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France as a consequence. Intensely readable for the dramatic force with which the story is told, the absolute originality of the underlying creative thought, and the strength of all the men and women who fill the pages.—Pittsburg Times. Not for long has so good a story of the kind been published, and the book is the more commendable because the literary quality of its construction has not been slighted. He whose pulses are not quickened by the tale must be jaded and phlegmatic indeed.—Chicago Record-Herald. For a good, grippy story, it is the best of the present season’s output.—Cleveland Leader. Mr. Oppenheim possesses the magic art of narration.—New York Herald.
