_Cincinnati Enquirer_: “Never has the peculiar brand of humor which South America affords been more skilfully exploited than by Arthur Colton in =The Belted Seas=.... It is a joyous book, and he were a hardened reader indeed who would not chortle with satisfaction over Kid Sadler’s adventures at Portate.... Many of the stories are uproariously funny and recall Stockton at his best.” Port Argent 12mo, $1.50 A romance of a few weeks in an Ohio city “with growing pains.” _Critic_: “A story of breathless events and of remarkable concentration.” _Bookman_: “Mr. Colton’s work is particularly worthy of praise.” _Life_: “Arthur Colton is a writer with a remarkably individual outlook. Port Argent is bright and full of characteristic Coltonisms.” _San Francisco Chronicle_: “A quiet story told with such restraint that it is only after laying down the volume that one realizes the bigness of the problems presented, in breadth and richness of thought, and the power of its action.” Tioba 12mo, $1.25 Mr. Colton here depicts a gallery of very varied Americans. Tioba was a mountain which meant well but was mistaken. _Bookman_: “He is always the artist observer, adding stroke upon stroke with the surest of sure pens, ... an author who recalls the old traditions that there were once such things as good writing and good story-telling.” _Critic_: “In each of these stories he has presented some out-of-the-way fragment of life with faithfulness and power.... He has the artist’s instinct.” Henry Holt and Company Publishers New York TWO ROMANCES OF TRAVEL The Lightning Conductor _The Strange Adventures of a Motor Car_ By C. N. and A. M. WILLIAMSON 12mo. $1.50 The love story of a beautiful American and a gallant Englishman, who stoops to conquer.

Picturesque scenes in Provence, Spain and Italy pass before the reader’s eyes in rapid succession. Twenty printings of this novel have been called for. _Nation_: “Such delightful people, and such delightful scenes.... It should be a good, practical guide to those about to go over the same course, while its charming descriptions of travel afford an ample new fund of pleasure, tinged with envy here and there to the stay-at-homes.” _N. Y. Sun_: “A pleasant and felicitous romance.” _Springfield Republican_: “Wholly new and decidedly entertaining.” _Chicago Post_: “Sprightly humor ... the story moves.” The Pursuit of Phyllis By J.
