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. With a frontispiece by Harrison Fisher 12mo, Cloth. Price, $1.50 _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." The Bowen-Merrill Company, _Indianapolis_ 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. With illustrations by Dan Smith 12mo. cloth.
