nating force in such a character. So
the book may be called a purpose novel, but in reading it, one no more
thinks of applying so discredited an epithet to it than one would think of
applying it to "Vanity Fair."

The author possesses an admirable style, clear, unaffected, strong. To the
discriminating public, the book is certain to give far more pleasure than
that public usually gets from a new novel.

FULL OF INCIDENT, ACTION & COLOR

LIKE ANOTHER HELEN

By GEORGE HORTON

Mr. Horton's powerful romance stands in a new field and brings an almost
unknown world in reality before the reader--the world of conflict between
Greek and Turk.

The island of Crete seems real and genuine after reading this book; not a
mere spot on the map. The tragic and pathetic troubles of this people are
told with sympathetic force.

Mr. Horton employs a vivid style that keeps the interest alive and many
passages are filled with delicate poetic feeling.

Things happen and the story moves. The characters are well conceived and
are human and convincing. Beyond question Mr. Horton's fine story is
destined to take high rank among the books of the day.

The Chicago Times-Herald says:

"Here are chapters that are Stephen Crane plus sympathy; chapters of
illuminated description fragrant with the atmosphere of art."

"A CHRONICLE OF MARVELS"

THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON

By H. G. WELLS

Author of "The War of the Worlds" and "Tales of Time and Space."

Mr. Wells writes to entertain and in this tale of the invention of
"cavorite," and the subsequent remarkable journey made to the moon by
its inventor, he has succeeded beyond measure in alternately astounding,
convincing and delighting his readers. Told in a straightforward way, with
an air of ingenuousness that disarms doubt, the story chronicles most
marvelous discoveries and adventures on the mysterious planet. Mr.
Hering's many illustrations are admirable. Altogether the book is one of
the most original and entertaining volumes that has appeared in many a
day.
