sun means--life, and love, and happiness.

The
Man in the Twilight
By
Ridgwell Cullum
Author of “The Heart of Unaga” etc.
[Illustration]
The setting of this story is laid in the forests, in a country the
author knows well. Its plot is as intricate as he knows how to make it,
and is worked out among the toilers in two great pulp industries, with
the hero in one camp and the heroine in the rival one, and the figure
of the man in the twilight casting a weird and strange influence over
the chief actors.
“It is vital, highly strung, full of fire and vim and zest. It is
a go-ahead in fiction, in truth, with plenty of hustle in it. Few
recent novels have such a grip, so much of earnestness mixed with
that deliciously quaint, startling humor which is so characteristic
of American life and literature. It is a book that must be
read.”--_Freeman’s Journal._

Where the
Sun Swings North
By
Barrett Willoughby
Read, and you’ll agree that “Where the Sun Swings North” is a find! So
is Barrett Willoughby!
“Scotty Allan,” famous throughout all the Northwest, calls this the
best book yet about Alaska--and the _truest_.
The breath of actuality blows through its fascinating pages; its people
are real, not _reel_. Its atmosphere is inspiringly authentic, because
its author, a born-there Alaskan, _knows_--and also knows how to write
with a zest of colorful charm and human understanding.
It’s an altogether bully book of love and adventure “where the sun
swings north,” with a background and treatment delightfully different.

The East Wind
By
Hugh MacNair Kahler
When a new writer finds and holds an audience of two million and more,
with no resort to sensationalism, sex, or silly sentiment, it is proof
enough that he has extraordinary ability to interest and entertain.
When, besides, his work wins emphatic praise from such sure critics as
Tarkington and Galsworthy, it is sound evidence that he does something
more.
The six short novels included in this book abundantly illustrate
Hugh Kahler’s remarkable appeal to three types of reader: those who
read stories for the story’s sake, those who exact of fiction fresh
mental stimulus, and those who demand, as well, distinctive, brilliant
craftsmanship in writing.
Here is a book to enjoy, to think about, and to keep.
