confined exclusively to facts in Dr. Grenfell's daily life, is full of romance, adventure and excitement. The _N. Y. Sun_ recently said: "Admirable as is the work that Dr. Grenfell is doing on the Labrador coast, the books he has written, make his readers almost wish he would give up some of it to write more." _CLARA E. LAUGHLIN_ The Gleaners A Novellette. Illustrated, decorated boards, net 75c. Again Miss Laughlin has given us a master-piece in this story of present day life. Millet's picture, "The Gleaners," is the moving spirit of this little romance and, incidentally, one catches the inspiration the artist portrays in his immortal canvas. "The Gleaners" is issued in similar style to "Everybody's Lonesome," of which the _Toronto Globe_ said: "One of the successful writers of 'Good Cheer' stories for old and young is Miss Laughlin, and whoever reads one of her cheery little volumes desires more." _PROF. EDWARD A. STEINER_ _Author of "The Immigrant Tide," etc._ The Broken Wall Stories of the Mingling Folk. Illustrated, net $1.00. Professor Steiner has the story-teller's knack and uses his art with consummate skill in this collection, where will be found dramatic tragedy and profound pathos in strong contrast with keen humor and brilliant wit, all permeated by an uncompromising optimism. No man has probed the heart of the immigrant more deeply, and his interpretation of these Americans of tomorrow is at once a revelation and an inspiration: a liberal education in brotherhood. _A. D. STEWART_ Heather and Peat 12mo, cloth, net $1.20. "This is a very delightful story, told in the broadest and most fascinating Scotch language. The author belongs of right to that class of modern Scotch writers who bring out matters of vital human interest, with religious and tender touches, and this story is one that any writer might be proud of and any reader of feeling and vitality must delight in."--_Journal and Messenger_. _YANG PING YU_ The Love Story of a Maiden of Cathay Told in Letters from Yang Ping Yu. Finely decorated boards, net 50c. Written in English picturesquely colored with Chinese, at once naive and yet full of worldly wisdom, frank and yet discreetly reserved. The story as told in the letters is real, vivid, convincing. It is a human document that will compel the attention of the reader from beginning to end, and verify again the saying that "truth is stranger than fiction."
