"Queenie," he said, "I have always admired you, I have always loved you, but this morning, at this moment, I feel that, compared with you in your benevolence, your real wide-mindedness, I am a mere worm." "My noble Alfred!" said Regina, "my noble Alfred!" THE END LOVE AND THE SOUL HUNTERS By John Oliver Hobbes _Author of_ "_The Gods, Some Morals, and Lord Wickenham_," "_The Herb Moon_," "_Schools for Saints_," "_Robert Grange_," _etc., etc._ In this new novel Mrs. Craigie (John Oliver Hobbes) has made, according to her own statement, the great effort of her life. It is the most brilliant creation of an author whose talent and versatility have surprised readers and critics in both Europe and America for several years. It treats of unique examples of human nature as they are, and not merely as they ought to be. Swayed by complex motives, they are always attractive, but often do what is least expected of them. The story is graphically told, and is full of action. Each personage is distinctively drawn to the life. "There is much that is worth remembering in her writings."--_Mail and Express_, New York. "More than any other woman who is now writing, Mrs. Craigie is, in the true manly sense, a woman of letters. She is not a woman with a few personal emotions to express: she is what a woman so rarely is--an artist."--_The Star_, London. "Few English writers have so lapidarian a style of writing as Mrs. Craigie, and few such a capacity for writing epigrams."--_The Toronto Globe._ _12mo, Cloth. $1.50_ FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY, Publishers NEW YORK & LONDON A BRILLIANT SATIRE ON MILITARISM CAPTAIN JINKS, HERO By Ernest Crosby A satirical novel based on the military history of the United States since the outbreak of the Spanish War. It is a smiting denunciation of militarism and the military spirit, and a biting burlesque on cheap hero worship. The parallel between savagery and soldiery is unerringly drawn. It is full of wit and sarcasm. _The Philadelphia Item_, March 8: "It is the best bit of satire that has seen the light for years. It is more than clever: it is brilliant. Its sarcasm is like pointed steel, while its humor is of the most rollicking order. In fact, it is hilarious with fun, while its pungency in satire is remarkable for keenness, and for the incisive way in which every point is driven home." _Worcester Spy_, Worcester, Mass., March 9: "Beard's illustrations are equally clever and original, the best that he has ever made. As a collection of cartoons alone the book should make a hit." _Twenty-five Clever Drawings by Dan Beard. 12mo, Cloth. Ornamental Cover. Price. $1.50, post-paid._ FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY, PUBLISHERS, NEW YORK & LONDON _St. Louis Globe-Democrat:_ "It is a simple, gentle, quietly-humorous narrative, with several love affairs in it." UNDER MY OWN ROOF By Adelaide L. Rouse _Author of_ "_The Deane Girls_," "_Westover House_," _etc._
