ry are advocating free silver.--_Review of Reviews_. With a cover designed by Bruce Rogers. 16mo. Cloth. $1.25. HERBERT S. STONE & Co., CHICAGO & NEW YORK. * * * * * By GEORGE ADE PINK MARSH A story of the Streets and Town. There is, underlying these character sketches, a refinement of feeling that wins and retains one's admiration.--_St. Louis Globe-Democrat_. Here is a perfect triumph of characterization ... Pink must become a household word.--_Kansas City Star_. It is some time since we have met with a more amusing character than is "Pink Marsh," or to give him his full title, William Pinckney Marsh of Chicago....

"What Maisie Knew" was certainly a wide departure from his previous work, and "In The Cage," the life of a girl behind the wire screen of an English telegraph office, is as novel as one could wish. The story is slight and the incidents are few, but the charm of Mr. James's style, the absolute precision of his expression, the keenness of the analysis make the book remarkable in contemporary fiction. We could not wish for a better representation of the art of Mr. Henry James.
