OMPANY 542 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK _and_ SEATTLE 318 DENNY BUILDING THE BRAND _A Story of the Flathead Reservation_ _By_ THERESE BRODERICK This first novel by a new writer is worth reading. One feels, as they read, as if he, too, were living the untrammeled life of Cattleland. EXTRACTS It is evident the author felt the fascination of the mountains and the wide plains of the west, and most of the best pages of the book are those in which she infuses the written word with their charm.--_N. Y. Times_. The descriptions are seldom equalled and the plot is well developed. "The Brand" will rank as one of the best novels of recent years.--_Western News_. [Illustration] EXTRACTS "The Brand" is instinct with the romantic spirit of the west. It will be read with interest to the end.--_Oregonian_. "The Brand" is splendidly written and is better than "The Virginian."--_Kalispell Bee_. "The Brand" is good, refreshing and wholesome. It takes me back to God's country.--_B. E. Wiley, M.D., London, Eng._ The Indian Agent who "hates Injuns," and the Scotch Blackfoot hero are new in fiction but not in the West. Every review has been good. _Illustrated_. $1.50; _postage_, 10 _cents_ THE ALICE HARRIMAN COMPANY 542 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK _and_ SEATTLE 318 DENNY BUILDING _The_ TEMPTATION OF ST. ANTHONY _By_ GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Translated by LAFCADIO HEARN Introduction by ELIZABETH BISLAND This translation of the great French masterpiece, which has been called "The Epic of the Human Soul's Search for Truth," was recently discovered among Lafcadio Hearn's posthumous papers. The whole tendency of Hearn's tastes fitted him especially of all writers to turn that masterpiece into its true English equivalent. The tortured Saint is whirled by vertiginous visions through cycles of man's efforts to know why? whence? whither? He assists at the terrifying rites of Mithra, the prostrations of serpent-worshippers of fire, of light, of the Greek's deified forces of nature, of the Northern enthronement of brute force and war. Plunges into every heresy and philosophy, sees the orgies, the flagellations, the self-mutilations, the battles and furies of sects, each convinced it has found the answer to the Great Question. His experiences startlingly reproduce the scientific and spiritual researches of the man of to-day. _$1.25 net; p
