“When one receives full measure to overflowing of delight in a tender, charming, and wholly fascinating new piece of fiction, the enthusiasm is apt to come uppermost. Miss MacGowan has been known before, but her best gift has here declared itself.”--_Louisville Post._ Huldah With illustrations by Fanny Y. Cory. Library 12mo, cloth decorative $1.50 Here we have the great-hearted, capable woman of the Texas plains dispensing food and genial philosophy to rough-and-ready cowboys. Her sympathy takes the form of happy laughter, and her delightfully funny phrases amuse the fancy and stick in one’s memory. WORKS OF MORLEY ROBERTS Rachel Marr By MORLEY ROBERTS.

Peattie in Chicago Tribune._ “In atmosphere, if nothing else, the story is absolutely perfect.”--_Boston Transcript._ “Will be widely read and shrewdly and acutely commented upon through many years yet to come.”--_Philadelphia North American._ “A splendidly wrought book, strong as the winds and waves are strong, and as unregardful as they of mean barriers.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._ Lady Penelope By MORLEY ROBERTS. With nine illustrations by Arthur W. Brown. Library 12mo, cloth $1.50 “For celerity of movement, originality of plot, and fertility of invention, not to speak of a decided audacity in situation, ‘Lady Penelope’ is easily ahead of anything in the spring output of fiction.”--_Chicago News._ “A fresh and original bit of comedy as amusing as it is audacious.”--_Boston Transcript._ * * * * * The Promotion of the Admiral By MORLEY ROBERTS. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated $1.50 “If any one writes better sea stories than Mr. Roberts, we don’t know who it is; and if there is a better sea story of its kind than this it would be a joy to have the pleasure of reading it.”--_New York Sun._ “There is a hearty laugh in every one of these stories.”--_The Reader._ “To read these stories is a tonic for the mind; the stories are gems, and for pith and vigor of description they are unequalled.”--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._ WORKS OF STEPHEN CONRAD The Second Mrs. Jim By STEPHEN CONRAD. With a frontispiece by Ernest Fosbery. Large 16mo, cloth decorative $1.00 Here is a character as original and witty as “Mr. Dooley” or “the self-made merchant.” The realm of humorous fiction is now invaded by the stepmother. “It is an exceptionally clever piece of work.”--_Boston Transcript._ “‘The Second Mrs. Jim’ is worth as many Mrs. Wiggses as could be crowded into the Cabbage Patch. The racy humor and cheerfulness and wisdom of the book make it wholly delightful.”--_Philadelphia Press._ Mrs. Jim and Mrs. Jimmie With a frontispiece in colors by Arthur W. Brown.
