“The Game” resembles “The Call of the Wild” very strongly in the unity and rapidity of its action, in its singleness of purpose, and in its conveyed impression of power. “The Game” is that which takes place within the squared ring; included in the story is an intensely graphic portrayal of what the prize ring stands for and means to participants, spectators, and the general scheme of things. THE STORM CENTRE By CHARLES EGBERT CRADDOCK Author of “The Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains,” “The Story of Old Fort Loudon,” etc. Cloth 12mo $1.50 A war story; but more of flirtation, love, and courtship, than of fighting or history. It is a simple and pleasing tale of a wounded Union officer in a household strongly in sympathy with the Confederate cause. The officer falls in love with the young lady of the house, and the son of the family, a dashing young Confederate officer, comes back to see his family. While there the rebel officer secures information that enables the Southern army to gain an important strategical advantage, and the Union officer is eventually court-martialled. The tale is light and entertaining and thoroughly readable, and the background is that associated with Miss Murfree’s well-earned fame. THE HOUSE OF CARDS _A RECORD_ By JOHN HEIGH Sometime Major U.S.A. Cloth 12mo $1.50 Glimpses of many fascinating figures are seen in this chronicle. The old, old social warfares of Boston and Philadelphia come out now and then amusingly. The chief character is one of the modern kings of finance--“a promoter? Not at all! He reorganizes railroads and things; one railway he has reorganized three times; and these rejuvenated concerns have been very grateful to him. He is rich beyond all decent guessing, my friend of fifty years, and I regard him as the most dangerous man in America.” So his story is told by his oldest friend, with little thrusts of grim humor; yet with a very strong and sweet undercurrent of sentiment. It has an altogether indescribable tone that is admirably in keeping with one’s mental picture of the veteran soldier and scholar who tells the tale to young “Waltham Eliot, late of Boston, who has come to settle in Philadelphia, live on law, and be honest!” But in the last analysis it is a love-story of yesterday, to-day, and forever. MRS. DARRELL By FOXCROFT DAVIS Author of “Despotism and Democracy” With Illustrations by William Sherman Potts Cloth 12mo $1.50 “Mrs. Darrell” is a penetrating bit of analysis in the form of an exceptionally good story of the social side of high political life in the national capital.
