------------------------------------------- New York G. P. Putnam’s Sons London ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Children of Banishment _By_ Francis William Sullivan _12^o. $1.35 net_ A tale of the northern woods that breathes the true atmosphere of the lumber camp, draws a vivid picture of the subjugation of the great forests and the thrilling “drive” of the unruly rivers. The story traces the fortunes of one who through a happy chance discovers the treachery of the man to whom he has entrusted the fulfillment of his life’s ambition, and just in time to avert disaster. Yet redress he must forego, for the man who has attempted to wrong him is the husband of the woman he loves. Out of this antagonism of interests the author has developed a love story that is full of capital dramatic situations, that opens up many unexpected developments, and that proceeds to an impressive and satisfying climax. ------------------------------------------- New York G.

Dell Author of “The Way of an Eagle,” “The Knave of Diamonds,” “The Rocks of Valpré,” etc. _12^o. $1.35_ The glow of romance kindles in the new volume by this successful author. The tale entitled _The Swindler_ and its sequel, jointly constituting a substantial portion of the book, strike a full, vibrant, soul-filling note which is not diminished in the shorter but no less dramatic stories which follow. _The Swindler_ is the story of one who, irredeemably bad in the eyes of the undiscerning, has all the latent nobility of his nature called into play through the faith which is reposed in him by the one woman who counts. ------------------------------------------- New York G.
