The Gun-Brand
By
James B. Hendryx
Author of "The Promise," etc.
_12^o. Picture Wrapper and Color Frontispiece_
_$1.50 net. By mail, $1.65_
A novel of the Northwest, where civilization and savagery
lock in the death struggle; where men of iron hearts are
molded by a woman's tenderness; where knave and knight cross
the barriers to confront each other in the great reckoning;
where nobility and courage throw down the gage to evil and
intrigue, and the gun-brand leaves its seared and indelible
impress upon the brow of a scoundrel. Here's a novel of love
and life, danger and daring.

The Untamed
By
Max Brand
A tale of the West, a story of the Wild; of three strange
comrades,--Whistling Dan of the untamed soul, within whose
mild eyes there lurks the baleful yellow glare of beast
anger; of the mighty black stallion Satan, King of the
Ranges, and the wolf devil dog, to whom their master's word
is the only law,--and of the Girl.
How Jim Silent, the "long-rider" and outlaw, declared feud
with Dan, how of his right-hand men one strove for the Girl,
one for the horse, and one to "'get' that black devil of a
dog," and their desperate efforts to achieve their ends,
form but part of the stirring action.
A tale of the West, yes--but a most unusual one, touched
with an almost weird poetic fancy from the very first page,
when over the sandy wastes sounds the clear sweet whistling
of Pan of the desert, to the very last paragraph when the
reader, too, hears the cry and the call of the wild geese
flying south.

THE MOON POOL
BY
A. MERRITT
Romance, real romance, and wonderful adventure,--absolutely
impossible, yet utterly probable! A story one almost regrets
having read, since one can then no longer read it for the
first time. Once in the proverbial blue moon there comes to
the fore an author who can conceive and write such a tale.
Here is one!
Few indeed will forget, who, with the Professor, watch the
mystic approach of the Shining One down the moon path,--who
follow with him and the others the path below the Moon Pool,
beyond the Door of the Seven Lights;--and would there were
more characters in fiction like Lakla the lovely and Larry
O'Keefe the lovable.
Perhaps you readers will know who were those weird and
awe-inspiring Silent Ones.
