his men and women to
breathe, and his men and women take deep breaths. They are alive, they
are human, they are real.
He has a delightful story to tell and knows how to tell it. It is a
story of human life, of possible people in possible situations, living
out their little span of life in that state in which it has pleased God
to call them.
The reader realizes at once that Mr. Knight is a man who served his
seven years of apprenticeship before opening a shop on his own account.
The deftness and charm of his literary style, combined with the
absorbing interest of the story, can not but prove a delight to every
reader.

_The Liverpool Mercury says:_
"This is a book far removed from the ordinary mass of featureless
fiction. There is no gainsaying the strength of characterization and the
command of English language."

VIGOROUS, ELEMENTAL, DRAMATIC
A HEART OF FLAME
The story of a Master Passion
BY CHARLES FLEMING EMBREE
Author of "A Dream of a Throne."
* * * * *
The men and women in this story are children of the soil. Their strength
is in their nearness to nature. Their minds are vigorous, their bodies
powerful, their passions elemental, their courage sublime. They are
loyal in friendship, persistent in enmity, determined in purpose.
The story is a story of great wrongs and of supreme love. It is done in
black and white, with few strokes, but they are masterly. The shadows at
the back are sombre but the value of contrast is appreciated for the
vivid high light in the foreground.
It is a work of art--powerful, convincing and abiding. Powerful, because
true to life; convincing, for it has the saving touch of humor; and
abiding because love, like "A Heart of Flame," prevails in the end.
