"'The Penitentes' abounds in dramatic possibilities. It is full of action, warm color and variety. The denouement at the little church of San Rafael, when the soldiers surprise the Penitentes at mass in the early dawn of their fete day, will appeal strongly to the dramatizer." _The Interior says:_ "Mr. How has done a truly remarkable piece of work . . . any hand, however practiced, might well be proud of the marvelously good descriptions, the dramatic, highly unusual story, the able characterizations." 12mo, Cloth, Ornamental Price, $1.50 The Bowen-Merrill Company, _Indianapolis_ THE SUBTLE SPIRIT OF THE SEA SWEEPERS OF THE SEA The Story of a Strange Navy By CLAUDE H. WETMORE * * * * * _From the St. Louis Mirror:_ "The recital of the deeds of the 'Sweepers of the Sea' is a breathless one. The romance is heightened by the realism of the technique of naval warfare, by the sureness and voluminosity of nautical knowledge." _From the Buffalo Review:_ "It rivals Stevenson in its ingenuity of plot and dramatic interest." _From the Albany Journal:_ "There rings the exultant note of tossing billows and a crashing ship." _From the Minneapolis Times:_ "Mr. Wetmore has the genius of Jules Verne and can make the improbable seem the actual. In fact, 'Sweepers of the Sea' comes into the class of important fiction, and as such will be received and read by a discriminating public." Illustrated Price, $1.50 The Bowen-Merrill Company, _Indianapolis_ A STORY TOLD BY A REAL STORYTELLER A SON OF AUSTERITY By GEORGE KNIGHT * * * * * Mr. Knight has created a real atmosphere for his men and women to breathe, and his men and women take deep breaths. They are alive, they are human, they are real. He has a delightful story to tell and knows how to tell it. It is a story of human life, of possible people in possible situations, living out their little span of life in that state in which it has pleased God to call them. The reader realizes at once that Mr. Knight is a man who served his seven years of apprenticeship before opening a shop on his own account. The deftness and charm of his literary style, combined with the absorbing interest of the story, can not but prove a delight to every reader. With a frontispiece by Harrison Fisher 12mo, Cloth. Price, $1.50 _The Liverpool Mercury says:_ "This is a book far removed from the ordinary mass of featureless fiction. There is no gainsaying the strength of characterization and the command of English language."
