A group of boys playing in the square ceased from play to gaze at the old boy, timidly approached the railings, and stared at that poor, broken figure. They could know nothing of the traditions of the Prussian army, nor of how strange a sight they saw, but they felt its enormity. He, for his part, had forgotten what was around him--the place, the children; he stared at the ground, remembering as in a vivid dream his urgent appeal to his emperor, his agony at defeat, his intelligence too great for his heart, and the knell still ringing there: “The campaign has failed.... The campaign has failed.” THE END _Biography and Memoirs_ JOHN WANAMAKER BY HERBERT ADAMS GIBBONS “A correct perspective of the man and his work ... has been admirably supplied in a new and adequate biography. It may be said at the outset that the author was not only peculiarly fitted for his task, he has performed it with distinction. Understanding his subject, and familiar with the scenes of his business and civic life, he has written with facility and authority.”--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._ THROUGH MANY WINDOWS BY HELEN WOODWARD “Not only the epic of a woman’s battles in New York for her place in the sun, but it is a study in business psychology, the best, the raciest and the frankest I have ever read.”--Benjamin de Casseres, _New York Evening Post_. “Every American ought to read it,” Dorothy Canfield. A MUSICIAN AND HIS WIFE BY MRS. REGINALD DE KOVEN “The author has lived among the great folk of the world, and has written in a way to give the reader a glimpse not only of herself and her illustrious husband but of their times. This we believe is the ideal autobiographical method and that pursued by autobiographers who have lived. Mrs. de Koven is a charming raconteur.”--_Musical Leader._ MY LIFE AND TIMES BY JEROME K. JEROME Of this fascinating story of the life of the famous author of “The Passing of the Third Floor Back” and “Three Men in a Boat” Richard Le Gallienne says: “This very companionable book of memories will the more endear him to his many friends. It is full of humanity, good sense and good fun, and it is admirably written with the ease of a born _causeur_.” PORTRAITS AND PORTENTS BY A. G. GARDINER The distinguished author of “War Lords” and “Priests, Prophets and Kings” here presents a striking series of pictures of contemporary celebrities. The editor for nearly twenty years of the _London Daily News_, A. G.
