"A rare performance in American literature. Everybody knows who the Poet is, but if they want to know him as a kind of Good Samaritan in a different way than they know him in his verses, they should read this charming idyll."--_Boston Transcript._ Illustrated in color. $1.30 net.

HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY BOSTON AND NEW YORK ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERLAND RED By HARRY HERBERT KNIBBS "Overland Red is a sort of mixture of Owen Wister's Virginian and David Harum."--_Chicago Evening Post._ "Perfectly clean and decent and at the same time full of romantic adventure."--_Chicago Tribune._ "A story tingling with the virile life of the great West in the days when a steady eye and a six-shooter were first aids to the law, 'Overland Red.' should be a widely read piece of fiction."--_Boston Globe._ "A pulsing, blood-warming romance of California hills, mines, and ranges is 'Overland Red.' ...

HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY BOSTON AND NEW YORK ----------------------------------------------------------------------- THE AFTER HOUSE By MARY ROBERTS RINEHART "An absorbing tale of murder and mystery--Mrs. Rinehart has written no more exciting story than this."--_New Orleans Picayune._ "Succeeds to a remarkable degree in thrilling the reader ... she stands in direct line, and not unworthily, after Stevenson and that born teller of tales, F. Marion Crawford."--_Philadelphia Press._ "Mrs. Rinehart has disclosed herself as an adept and ingenious inventor of thrilling murder puzzles, and in none of them has she told a story more directly and more fluently than in 'The After House.'"--_Boston Transcript._ "Mrs. Rinehart has, with no small constructive skill, created a real mystery and left it unsolved until the very last.... Her incidents follow one another in rapid succession and the interest of the story is maintained to the very end. A good novel for quick reading."--_New York Herald._
