"If one is anxious for a thrill, he has only to read a
few pages of 'When the Land was Young' to experience the
desired sensation.... There is action of the most virile
type throughout the romance.... It is vividly told, and
presents a realistic picture of the days 'when the land was
young.'"

The Captain
By CHURCHILL WILLIAMS, author of "J. Devlin--Boss."
Illustrated by A.I. Keller. 12mo. Dark red cloth,
decorative cover, rough edges. Price, $1.50 each.
WHO is the Captain? thousands of readers of this fine book will be
asking. It is a story of love and war, of scenes and characters
before and daring the great civil conflict. It has lots of color and
movement, and the splendid figure naming the book dominates the whole.

Judith's Garden
By MARY E. STONE BASSETT
With illustrations in color by George Wright. Text printed
in two colors throughout, with special ornamentation. 8vo,
light green silk cloth, rough edges, gilt top, $1.50
AN exquisite, delicious, charming book, as fresh as new-mown hay, as
fragrant as the odor from the garden of the gods. It is the story
of a garden, a woman, and a man. The woman is delicate and refined,
witty, and interesting; the man is Irish, funny, original, happy,--a
delicious and perfect foil to the woman. His brogue is stunning, and
his wit infectious and fetching. The garden is quite all right. There
is movement in the book; life is abundant, and it attracts. It will
catch the interest of every lover of flowers,--and their name is
legion,--and will delight and comfort every reader.
