great praise. Character, humor,
poignant pathos, and the sad grotesque
conjunctions of old and new civilizations are
expressed through the medium of a style that
has distinction and strikes a note of rare
personality.

THE DAY'S WORK. By Rudyard Kipling. Illustrated.

The _London Morning Post_ says: "It would be
hard to find better reading * * * the book is
so varied, so full of color and life from end
to end, that few who read the first two or
three stories will lay it down till they have
read the last--and the last is a veritable gem
* * * contains some of the best of his highly
vivid work * * * Kipling is a born story-teller
and a man of humor into the bargain.

ELEANOR LEE. By Margaret E. Sangster. With a frontispiece.

A story of married life, and attractive picture
of wedded bliss * * * an entertaining story of
a man's redemption through a woman's love * * *
no one who knows anything of marriage or
parenthood can read this story with eyes that
are always dry * * * goes straight to the heart
of every one who knows the meaning of "love"
and "home."

THE COLONEL OF THE RED HUZZARS. By John Reed Scott. Illustrated by
Clarence F. Underwood.

"Full of absorbing charm, sustained interest,
and a wealth of thrilling and romantic
situations. So naively fresh in its handling,
so plausible through its naturalness, that it
comes like a mountain breeze across the
far-spreading desert of similar
romances."--_Gazette-Times_, Pittsburg. "A
slap-dashing day romance."--_New York Sun._

THE FAIR GOD; OR, THE LAST OF THE TZINS. By Lew Wallace. With
illustrations by Eric Pape.

"The story tells of the love of a native
princess for Alvarado, and it is worked out
with all of Wallace's skill * * * it gives a
fine picture of the heroism of the Spanish
conquerors and of the culture and nobility of
the Aztecs."--_New York Commercial Advertiser._

"_Ben Hur_ sold enormously, but The Fair God
was the best of the General's stories--a
powerful and romantic treatment of the defeat
of Montezuma by Cortes."--_Athenaeum._

THE CAPTAIN OF THE KANSAS. By Louis Tracy.

A story of love and the salt
