“ ... is a readable, straightaway account of Socialism it is singularly
informing and all in an undidactic way.”—_Chicago Evening Post._

art. In a literary sense, Mr. Wells has never done anything
better.”—_Argonaut._

The Mutiny of the Elsinore
By JACK LONDON, Author of “The Sea Wolf,” “The Call of the Wild,” etc.
_With frontispiece in colors by Anton Fischer. Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._
Everyone who remembers _The Sea Wolf_ with pleasure will enjoy this
vigorous narrative of a voyage from New York around Cape Horn in a
large sailing vessel. _The Mutiny of the Elsinore_ is the same kind of
tale as its famous predecessor, and by those who have read it, it is
pronounced even more stirring. Mr. London is here writing of scenes and
types of people with which he is very familiar, the sea and ships and
those who live in ships. In addition to the adventure element, of which
there is an abundance of the usual London kind, a most satisfying kind
it is, too, there is a thread of romance involving a wealthy, tired
young man who takes the trip on the _Elsinore_, and the captain’s
daughter. The play of incident, on the one hand the ship’s amazing crew
and on the other the lovers, gives a story in which the interest never
lags and which demonstrates anew what a master of his art Mr. London
is.
The Three Sisters
By MAY SINCLAIR, Author of “The Divine Fire,” “The Return of the
Prodigal,” etc.
_Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._
Every reader of _The Divine Fire_, in fact every reader of any of Miss
Sinclair’s books, will at once accord her unlimited praise for her
character work. _The Three Sisters_ reveals her at her best. It is a
story of temperament, made evident not through tiresome analyses but by
means of a series of dramatic incidents. The sisters of the title
represent three distinct types of womankind. In their reaction under
certain conditions Miss Sinclair is not only telling a story of
tremendous interest but she is really showing a cross section of life.
