The standards and life of "the new navy" are breezily set forth with a
genuine ring impossible from the most gifted "outsider." "The story of the
destruction of the 'Maine,' and of the Battle of Manila, are very
dramatic. The author is the daughter of one naval officer and the wife of
another. Naval folks will find much to interest them in 'The Spirit of the
Service.'"--_The Book Buyer._
A SPECTRE OF POWER. By Charles Egbert Craddock.
Miss Murfree has pictured Tennessee mountains and the mountain people in
striking colors and with dramatic vividness, but goes back to the time of
the struggles of the French and English in the early eighteenth century
for possession of the Cherokee territory. The story abounds in adventure,
mystery, peril and suspense.
THE STORM CENTRE. By Charles Egbert Craddock.
A war story; but more of flirtation, love and courtship than of fighting
or history. The tale is thoroughly readable and takes its readers again
into golden Tennessee, into the atmosphere which has distinguished all of
Miss Murfree's novels.
THE ADVENTURESS. By Coralie Stanton. With color frontispiece by Harrison
Fisher, and attractive inlay cover in colors.
As a penalty for her crimes, her evil nature, her flint-like callousness,
her more than inhuman cruelty, her contempt for the laws of God and man,
she was condemned to bury her magnificent personality, her transcendent
beauty, her superhuman charms, in gilded obscurity at a King's left hand.
A powerful story powerfully told.
THE GOLDEN GREYHOUND. A Novel by Dwight Tilton. With illustrations by E.
Pollak.
A thoroughly good story that keeps you guessing to the very end, and never
attempts to instruct or reform you. It is a strictly up-to-date story of
love and mystery with wireless telegraphy and all the modern improvements.
The events nearly all take place on a big Atlantic liner and the romance
of the deep is skilfully made to serve as a setting for the romance, old
as mankind, yet always new, involving our hero.
