PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM Author of “Anna the Adventuress,” etc. _Illustrated._ _397 pages._ _12mo._ $1.50 Deals with an intrigue of international moment--the fomenting of a war between Great Britain and Germany and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France as a consequence. Intensely readable for the dramatic force with which the story is told, the absolute originality of the underlying creative thought, and the strength of all the men and women who fill the pages.--_Pittsburg Times._ Not for long has so good a story of the kind been published, and the book is the more commendable because the literary quality of its construction has not been slighted.--_Chicago Record-Herald._ _By the Author of “The Shadow of the Czar”_ THE WEIRD PICTURE By JOHN R. CARLING Author of “The Viking’s Skull,” “The Shadow of the Czar,” etc. _With Pictures by Cyrus Cuneo._ _12mo._ $1.50 When a man is summoned home to attend the marriage to another man of the woman he loves, and when the bridegroom is his own brother, the situation is certainly very striking. The wedding does not take place, for the bridegroom is murdered. The scene in which the victim appears to his brother, on the latter’s arrival at Dover, is singularly impressive. All this is disclosed in the opening chapter, and paves the way for a story which becomes more and more intense and interesting as its remarkable plot is developed. _A Powerful American Novel_ The Vision of Elijah Berl By FRANK LEWIS NASON Author of “The Blue Goose” and “To the End of the Trail” _12mo._ _Decorated cloth._ $1.50 Mr. Nason’s new novel deals with the beginnings of orange growing in California by irrigation. Elijah Berl, a New Englander, emigrates to California, and dreams of the time when the barren region in which he has settled shall “blossom as the rose.” Engineering ambitions, the formation of a company for the development of the orange industry, the building of an irrigation dam, and the collapse of a land boom, furnish the author material for a well-constructed plot. _A Gallant Romance of Love and Daring_ MY LADY CLANCARTY By MARY IMLAY TAYLOR Author of “On the Red Staircase,” etc. _Illustrated by Alice Barber Stephens._ _12mo._ $1.50
