THE RULERS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.

Ill.u.s.trated.

Y.

Richard Harding Davis never writes a short story that he does not prove himself a master of the art.--_Chicago Times._

BY JOHN FOX, Jr.

A MOUNTAIN EUROPA.

With Portrait.

The story is well worth careful reading for its literary art and its truth to a phase of little-known American life.--_Omaha Bee_.

THE KENTUCKIANS.

A Novel. Ill.u.s.trated by W. T. SMEDLEY.

This, Mr. Fox's first long story, sets him well in view, and distinguishes him as at once original and sound. He takes the right view of the story-writer's function and the wholesale view of what the art of fiction can rightfully attempt.--_Independent_, N. Y.

"h.e.l.l FER SARTAIN," and Other Stories.

Mr. Fox has made a great success of his pictures of the rude life and primitive pa.s.sions of the people of the mountains of West Virginia and Kentucky. His sketches are short but graphic; he paints his scenes and his hill people in terse and simple phrases and makes them genuinely picturesque, giving us glimpses of life that are distinctively American.--_Detroit Free Press_.

Ill.u.s.trated.

These stories are tempestuously alive, and sweep the heart-strings with a master-hand.--_Watchman_, Boston.

BY FRANK R. STOCKTON

THE a.s.sOCIATE HERMITS.

A Novel. Ill.u.s.trated by A. B. FROST.

If there is a more droll or more delightful writer now living than Mr. Frank R. Stockton we should be slow to make his acquaintance, on the ground that the limit of safety might be pa.s.sed.... Mr. Stockton's humor a.s.serts itself admirably, and the story is altogether enjoyable.--_Independent_, N. Y.

The interest never flags, and there is nothing intermittent about the sparkling humor.--_Philadelphia Press_.

THE GREAT STONE OF SARDIS.

A Novel. Ill.u.s.trated by PETER NEWELL.
