_NEW MACMILLAN NOVELS OF UNUSUAL INTEREST_
MRS. ROGER A. PRYOR’S New Novel
The Colonel’s Story
_Cloth, $1.20 net; by mail, $1.32_
For those who have a tenderness for the old days of the South, or who
know the charm of Mrs. Pryor’s books of personal experience therein--“My
Day” and “Reminiscences of Peace and War”--this book has an unusual
charm.
F. MARION CRAWFORD’S
Wandering Ghosts
_Cloth, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.35_
It is uncommonly interesting that the last volume to be added to the
long shelf of Mr. Crawford’s novels should be this in which he makes the
supernatural so vividly felt.
GUSTAV FRENSSEN’S
Klaus Hinrich Baas
_Cloth, $1.50_
“One of those rare novels that is so veracious, so packed with the
veritable stuff of life, that it is a genuine human document--true, but
also universal.”--_Louisville Evening Post._
“A big, strong, life-size portrait of a real man.”--_Chicago
Record-Herald._
JACK LONDON’S
Adventure
_Cloth, $1.50_
“There’s a real story to ‘Adventure,’ and a quite unusually good love
interest.”--_Chicago Inter Ocean._
“A rapidly shifting panorama of exciting incident.”--_Boston
Transcript._

FOOTNOTES:
[1] Lately changed to Shoshone River by act of legislature. While we
miss the old name, derived from certain sulphur springs, we agree that
like the Indian and the cow-boy it belongs to the past.
[2] For reasons, those who in 188--named this place after its chief
inhabitant, wished to disguise his name. This they accomplished by
changing the order of the letters which spelled it.
[3] To-day the flourishing resort Thermopolis, connected with both
north and south by an important line of railway. In those days this
lonely spot must have been two hundred miles from any railway.
