EQUAL PARTNERS.

By Howard Fielding.

"This is a thoroughly enjoyable detective story, written in good, crisp style, and with a decided surprise in the last pages. It is adroitly contrived that almost every character in the book shall be suspected of the crime of attempted murder before the actual culprit is discovered.

The characters are excellently differentiated, and the story is vastly diverting, nor are there any repulsive features about the book. It is a stirring tale and will enliven a dull evening successfully."--_Chicago Tribune_.

DORIS KINGSLEY, Child and Colonist.

By EMMA RAYNER, author of "Free to Serve," "In Castle and Colony," etc.

This story of the South in the first half of the eighteenth century, opens with one of the strangest episodes in the early history of South Carolina--the pursuit and capture by the Governor of Carolina of a pirate vessel, full, not of treasure, but of English men and women; and the selling of those same unfortunate voyagers as bond servants in the colony. Doris Kingsley, a child stolen from the streets of London, is the youngest of the party, and is the heroine of the story. Doris Kingsley is a novel of absorbing interest, dramatic and historically true.

OLD JED PROUTY (A Narrative of the Pen.o.bscot).

By RICHARD GOLDEN and MARY C. FRANCIS.

In "Old Jed Prouty" the reading public is presented with a New England character story of unusual interest and merit. The plot, although not an involved one, hides enough mystery to lend the spice of the unknown to the reader's zest, and the simple and natural denouement emphasizes the high moral ethics of the story, and throws into strong relief the deep human sentiments that dominate the tale. Standing out above all, infusing into the fiber of every chapter the rugged sincerity, the homely wit and the quaint philosophy of New England, is the central character about which the pivot of the story turns, "Old Jed Prouty,"

real in name and real in goodness, who at the time of his life, some thirty years since, was a landmark in the Valley of the Pen.o.bscot.

JOHN WINSLOW.

By HENRY D. NORTHROP.

"'John Winslow' is one of those inviting books of country life of which the best part of 'Eben Holden' has come to be the accepted type. Plenty of shrewd common sense in the chief character, a dash of love on the side, an incidental and inevitable bit of human wickedness--but everything in the picture and the framing attractive. This is a book for a wide reach among readers."--_N. Y. World._

"Properly ranks with 'Eben Holden,' 'David Harum,' and 'Quincy Adams Sawyer.' The four may be put in a cla.s.s by themselves as distinctive types of homespun Americans."--_The North American._

"Worthy to live with 'David Harum' and 'Eben Holden.'"--_Publishers'

Weekly_.

UNDER A LUCKY STAR, a New Book on Astrology.

By CHARLOTTE ABELL WALKER.

Tells what occupation to adopt, and what line of life to follow, what a.s.sociates and partners to choose, how to recognize the possibilities and limitations of our friends and ourselves, and of other important matters to human life, including suggestions on marriage, being mainly culled from the minds of ancient and modern philosophers. Ill.u.s.trated, cloth bound.

THE WAY OF A MAN WITH A MAID.

By FRANCES GORDON FANE.

A clever, well-written story, full of love and pathos, and thrilling with dramatic crises. Each step of the domestic tragedy is skilfully portrayed, until the final climax is reached.

"Its author has made it a powerful, telling story to read."--_N.Y.

World_.

THE CROSSROADS OF DESTINY, a Story of Chivalry in the Fifteenth Century.

By JOHN P. RITTER. Author of "The Man Who Dared."

This is a wonderfully interesting story, and will find a welcome with all who love to read of deeds of chivalry.

"It is a clean, clear and clever story of chivalry at its best, and will find a great many well-pleased readers."--_New York World_. Cloth bound, ill.u.s.trated.

A MASTER OF FORTUNE, being Further Adventures of "Captain Kettle."

By CUTCLIFFE HYNE.

"It has the dash and tinge of reality that makes you feel as if you were in the midst of it all."--_Detroit Free Press._

"The many readers who followed with bated breath the wild adventures of Captain Kettle in the book named for him, will welcome Cutcliffe Hyne's new collection of tales dealing with that remarkable sea dog. The volume is well called 'A Master of Fortune.'"--_Philadelphia Press._

"n.o.body who has followed the gallant sailor--diminutive, but oh, my!--in his previous adventures around the earth, is going to miss this red-hot volume of marvelous exploits."--_N. Y. World._

THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN KETTLE.

By CUTCLIFFE HYNE.

The best sea story since the days of Marryat. Captain Kettle is a devil-may-care sea dog, half pirate and half preacher. The author carries him through many hairbreadth escapes and makes him a character that will live long in the annals of fiction. The success of this book is marvelous.

THE MULLIGANS. A Novel.

By EDWARD HARRIGAN.

The _New York World_ says: "Mr. Harrigan gave to his Mulligan dramas the most distinctly typical character plays which have ever been seen on the native stage. They were studied and displayed straight from the life of New York and their popularity was unbounded. His book is one of the most generally interesting of the new season's output."

_It is a marvelously entertaining novel, possessing a keenness of wit and humor unsurpa.s.sed by any recent work. All the characters stand out, as true to life, as natural and as vivid as if portrayed by d.i.c.kens._

NORMAN HOLT, a Story of the Army of the c.u.mberland.

By GENERAL (Capt.) CHARLES KING.

"No more charming historic war story has ever been written. It is Captain King's best, and bearing, as it does, on the great battle of Mission Ridge, although the story is woven in fiction, it adds an invaluable record of that gigantic contest between the two great armies."

"The characters are real, their emotions natural, and the romance that is interwoven is delightful. It is wholesome and one of General King's best, if not his best book."--_N. Y. Journal._

"From the first chapter to the last page the interest of the reader never f.a.gs. General King has written no more brilliant or stirring novel than 'Norman Holt.'"--_N. Y. Press._
