Beginning with the title and running through to the last word, every
one of the six stories, which compose this book, grips the reader.
Honolulu, Molokai, the leper’s island, and others of the Hawaiian
group afford splendid settings for the tales; while the characters,
ranging from the ultra-exclusive set known as the “missionary crowd,”
through humble American New Englanders, to the unhappy victims of
leprosy, demonstrate Mr. London’s versatility and skill.
=THE TOUCHSTONE OF FORTUNE.= By CHARLES MAJOR,
Author of “Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall,” etc.
Illustrated, decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net; postage extra.
This charming story of the court of King Charles II. more nearly
resembles _When Knighthood Was in Flower_, Mr. Major’s first great
success, than anything he has since done. The interest in the tale is
centered in a witty, sprightly and determined young girl, who holds
her own against the evil influences about her and succeeds finally in
outwitting the king in love and statecraft.
=MORE THAN KIN.= By RACHEL CAPEN SCHAUFFLER.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net; postage extra.
Life in a missionary station in Persia with its dangers and hardships
forms the background for this love story which tells of the
adventures of Jean Stuart “of Bar Harbor and New York,” who, while
on a sight-seeing tour is rescued by a band of missionaries from
mountain brigands. It is a love story which for sheer human interest
it is hard to surpass.
=VAN CLEVE.= By MARY S. WATTS, Author of “Nathan Burke,” “The
Legacy,” etc.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.35 net; postage extra.
An up-to-date story, rich in character portrayal, in incident and
human appeal, and which will, in all probability, be more popular
than either _Nathan Burke_ or _The Legacy_, two novels which met
with such wide favor. The hero, Van Cleve, is a young man who finds
himself obliged, at the age of twenty, to support a family of
foolish, good-hearted, ill-balanced women, and one shiftless, pompous
old man--his grandfather, aunt, cousin, and uncle. Out of this
situation the story grows which will be welcome to the many admirers
of Mrs. Watts.
=THE RICH Mrs. BURGOYNE.= By KATHLEEN NORRIS, Author of “Mother.”
Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.25 net; postage extra.
A story with a gripping theme, which vividly recalls the author’s
great success, “Mother.”
