Stories portraying with delightful humor and pathos a quaint people in a sleepy old town. Dr. Lavendar, a very human and lovable “preacher,” is the connecting link between these dramatic stories from life. HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS WIFE. By E. P. Roe. With frontispiece. The hero is a farmer—a man with honest, sincere views of life. Bereft of his wife, his home is cared for by a succession of domestics of varying degrees of inefficiency until, from a most unpromising source, comes a young woman who not only becomes his wife but commands his respect and eventually wins his love. A bright and delicate romance, revealing on both sides a love that surmounts all difficulties and survives the censure of friends as well as the bitterness of enemies. THE YOKE. By Elizabeth Miller. Against the historical background of the days when the children of Israel were delivered from the bondage of Egypt, the author has sketched a romance of compelling charm. A biblical novel as great as any since “Ben Hur.” SAUL OF TARSUS. By Elizabeth Miller. Illustrated by André Castaigne. The scenes of this story are laid in Jerusalem, Alexandria, Rome and Damascus. The Apostle Paul, the Martyr Stephen, Herod Agrippa and the Emperors Tiberius and Caligula are among the mighty figures that move through the pages. Wonderful descriptions, and a love story of the purest and noblest type mark this most remarkable religious romance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GROSSET & DUNLAP, 526 WEST 26th ST., NEW YORK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A FEW OF GROSSET & DUNLAP’S Great Books at Little Prices ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BRUVVER JIM’S BABY. By Philip Verrill Mighels. An uproariously funny story of a tiny mining settlement in the West, which is shaken to the very roots by the sudden possession of a baby, found on the plains by one of its residents. The town is as disreputable a spot as the gold fever was ever responsible for, and the coming of that baby causes the upheaval of every rooted tradition of the place. Its christening, the problems of its toys and its illness supersede in the minds of the miners all thought of earthy treasure. THE FURNACE OF GOLD. By Philip Verrill Mighels, author of “Bruvver Jim’s Baby.” Illustrations by J. N. Marchand. An accurate and informing portrayal of scenes, types, and conditions of the mining districts in modern Nevada. The book is an out-door story, clean, exciting, exemplifying nobility and courage of character, and bravery, and heroism in the sort of men and women we all admire and wish to know.
