A dainty and delicate legend of the brave days of old, of sprites and pixies, of trolls and gnomes, of ruthless barons and noble knights. "The Silent Maid" herself, with her strange bewitchment and wondrous song, is equalled only by Undine in charm and mystery. "Seldom does one find a short tale so idyllic in tone and so fanciful in motive. The book shows great delicacy of imagination."—_The Criterion_. *The Spoilsmen.* By ELLIOTT FLOWER, author of "Policeman Flynn," etc. Library 12mo, cloth . . . $1.50 "The best one may hear of ’The Spoilsmen’ will be none too good. As a wide-awake, snappy, brilliant political story it has few equals, its title-page being stamped with that elusive mark, ’success.’ One should not miss a word of a book like this at a time like this and in a world of politics like this."—_Boston Transcript_. "Elliott Flower, whose ’Policeman Flynn’ attested his acquaintance with certain characteristic aspects of the American city, has written a novel of municipal politics, which should interest many readers.... The characters are obviously suggested by certain actual figures in local politics, and while the conditions he depicts are general in large cities in the United States, they will be unusually familiar to local readers.... Ned Bell, the ’Old Man,’ or political boss; Billy Ryan, his lieutenant; ’Rainbow John,’ the alderman, are likely to be identified.... and other personages of the story are traceable to their prototypes."—_Chicago Evening Post_. *Stephen Holton.* By CHARLES FELTON PIDGIN, author of "Quincy Adams Sawyer," "Blennerhassett," etc. The frontispiece is a portrait of the hero by Frank T. Merrill. One vol., library 12mo, cloth, gilt top . . . $1.50 "In the delineation of rural life, the author shows that intimate sympathy which distinguished his first success, ’Quincy Adams Sawyer.’"—_Boston Daily Advertiser_.

BARRY, author of "The Intriguers," "Mademoiselle Blanche," etc. Library 12mo, cloth decorative . . . $1.50 "I should say that ’A Daughter of Thespis’ seemed so honest about actors and acting that it made you feel as if the stage had never been truly written about before."—_W. D. Howells, in Harper’s Weekly_.
