The Third Degree: A Narrative of Metropolitan Life
Klein, Charles
City and town life -- Fiction
There are three tender love stories embodied in it, and two unusually
interesting heroines, utterly unlike each other, but each possessed of a
peculiar fascination which wins and holds the reader's sympathy. A
pleasing vein of gentle humor runs through the work, but the "sum of it
all" is an intensely sympathetic love story.
HEARTS AND THE CROSS, By Harold Morton Cramer With illustrations by
Harold Matthews Brett.
The hero is an unconventional preacher who follows the line of the Man
of Galilee, associating with the lowly, and working for them in the ways
that may best serve them. He is not recognized at his real value except
by the one woman who saw clearly. Their love story is one of the
refreshing things in recent fiction.
SIX-CYLINDER COURTSHIP, By Edw. Salisbury Field
With a color frontispiece by Harrison Fisher, and illustrations by
Clarence F. Underwood, decorated pages and end sheets. Harrison Fisher
head in colors on cover. Boxed.
A story of cleverness. It is a jolly good romance of love at first sight
that will be read with undoubted pleasure. Automobiling figures in the
story which is told with light, bright touches, while a happy gift of
humor permeates it all.
"The book is full of interesting folks. The patois of the garage is used
with full comic and realistic effect, and effervescently, culminating in
the usual happy finish."--_St. Louis Mirror._
AT THE FOOT OF THE RAINBOW, By Gene Stratton-Porter Author of "FRECKLES"
With illustrations in color by Oliver Kemp, decorations by Ralph
Fletcher Seymour and inlay cover in colors.
The story is one of devoted friendship, and tender self-sacrificing
love; the friendship that gives freely without return, and the love that
seeks first the happiness of the object. The novel is brimful of the
most beautiful word painting of nature and its pathos and tender
sentiment will endear it to all.
JUDITH OF THE CUMBERLANDS, By Alice MacGowan
With illustrations in colors, and inlay cover by George Wright.
No one can fail to enjoy this moving tale with its lovely and ardent
heroine, its frank, fearless hero, its glowing love passages, and its
variety of characters, captivating or engaging humorous or saturnine,
villains, rascals, and men of good will. A tale strong and interesting
in plot, faithful and vivid as a picture of wild mountain life, and in
its characterization full of warmth and glow.
A MILLION A MINUTE, By Hudson Douglas.
With illustrations by Will Grefe.
Has the catchiest of titles, and it is a ripping good tale from Chapter
I to Finis--no weighty problems to be solved, but just a fine running
story, full of exciting incidents, that never seemed strained or
improbable. It is a dainty love yarn involving three men and a girl.
There is not a dull or trite situation in the book.
CONJUROR'S HOUSE, By Stewart Edward White Dramatized under the title of
"THE CALL OF THE NORTH."
Illustrated from Photographs of Scenes from the Play.
