Mr. Wells writes to entertain and in this tale of the invention of
"cavorite," and the subsequent remarkable journey made to the moon
by its inventor, he has succeeded beyond measure in alternately
astounding, convincing and delighting his readers. Told in a
straightforward way, with an air of ingenuousness that disarms doubt,
the story chronicles the most marvelous discoveries and adventures on
the mysterious planet. Mr. Hering's many illustrations are admirable.
Altogether the book is one of the most original and entertaining
volumes that has appeared in many a day.

"AN INDIANA LOVE STORY"
ROSALYNDE'S
LOVERS
By MAURICE THOMPSON
Author of "Alice of Old Vincennes"
As Mr. Thompson avers, this is "only a love story," but it is a story
of such sweetness and wholesome life that it will at once claim a
permanent home in our affections. The love of nature, so prominent
a characteristic of Mr. Thompson, is reflected throughout and the
thunderstorm and following gleam of sun, the country garden and
southern lake are each in turn invested with a personality that wins
our instant sympathy. Rosalynde Banderet is winsome and artless, her
lovers are human and manly, and her final happiness is ours. Mr.
Peirson's many pictures are entirely worthy.
With many Illustrations and Decorations by
G. Alden Peirson
