"It is a strong tale brimful of incident from the moment when Cardinal Richelieu dispatches the redoubtable D'Artagnan on his king-making mission to Portugal." 12mo., Illustrated. Price, $1.00. STREET AND SMITH, _New York and London_ A HERO OF THE SWORD. The King's Gallant By ALEXANDRE DUMAS. "The King's Gallant" is deserving of recognition, in that it is not only a novelization of the earliest of Dumas' plays, but it marks a distinct triumph in his career. If this production is full of the rushing vigor of youth, it is because its celebrated author was but a youth when he penned it, yet it was the stepping stone which led to that upward flight wherein he was speedily hailed as the "Wizard of Fiction." It is a volume full of action with a strong plot and a truly masterful deliniation of character. 12mo. Cloth. Price, $1.00. STREET AND SMITH, _New York and London_ THE STORY OF A HOPELESS LOVE. Tons of Treasure By WILLIAM HENRY BISHOP. _Author of_ "DETMOLD." When two women love one man there is usually trouble brewing. Nor is the story which Mr. Bishop has to tell an exception. His hero is a manly New Yorker, who is fired with a zeal to "make good" a defalcation accredited to his dead father. In quest of gold he visits Mexico and there meets a dreamy-eyed maid who straightway gives him first place in her heart. But an American girl has already won his love. It is a pathetic situation and if one true woman's heart breaks before the man's mission is ended who is to blame? There are many touching incidents in the book, but none more full of pathos than when the woman who loves bares her soul to the woman who is loved. 12mo., Cloth. Price, $1.00. STREET AND SMITH, _New York and London_ A BOOK FULL OF 'HUMAN' INTEREST QUEER PEOPLE By WILLIAM HENRY BISHOP. _Author of_ "DETMOLD." Not one story, but a number of charming storyettes, terse, snappy and absorbingly interesting. There is a delightful pen sketch of a woman of small means who aspires to a connection with the smart set. Her attempts to disguise the true state of affairs from her out-of-town friends are laughable; but the fun becomes tinged with pathos when she borrows a furnished mansion for an evening, and a rich relative, invited to dine with her, uncloaks the pitiable fraud. The promising boy and the fond patroness are the chief characters in another brilliant character study in "Queer People." 12mo., Cloth. Price, $1.00. STREET AND SMITH, _New York and London_ A PEEP BEHIND THE SCENES. Among the Freaks By W.L. ALDEN.
