JUROR'S HOUSE, By Stewart Edward White
Dramatized under the title of "THE CALL OF THE NORTH."
Illustrated from Photographs of Scenes from the Play.
_Conjuror's House_ is a Hudson Bay trading port where the Fur Trading
Company tolerated no rivalry. Trespassers were sentenced to "La Longue
Traverse"--which meant official death. How Ned Trent entered the
territory, took _la longue traverse_, and the journey down the river
of life with the factor's only daughter is admirably told. It is a
warm, vivid, and dramatic story, and depicts the tenderness and mystery
of a woman's heart.
ARIZONA NIGHTS, By Stewart Edward White.
With illustrations by N. C. Wyeth, and beautiful inlay cover.
A series of spirited tales emphasizing some phase of the life of the
ranch, plains and desert, and all, taken together, forming a single
sharply-cut picture of life in the far Southwest. All the tonic of the
West is in this masterpiece of Stewart Edward White.
THE MYSTERY, By Stewart Edward White and Samuel Hopkins Adams
With illustrations by Will Crawford.
For breathless interest, concentrated excitement and extraordinarily
good storytelling on all counts, no more completely satisfying romance
has appeared for years. It has been voted the best story of its kind
since _Treasure Island_.
LIGHT-FINGERED GENTRY. By David Graham Phillips
With illustrations.
Mr. Phillips has chosen the inside workings of the great insurance
companies as his field of battle; the salons of the great Fifth Avenue
mansions as the antechambers of his field of intrigue; and the two
things which every natural, big man desires, love and success, as the
goal of his leading character. The book is full of practical
philosophy, which makes it worth careful reading.
THE SECOND GENERATION, By David Graham Phillips
With illustrations by Fletcher C. Ramson, and inlay cover.
"It is a story that proves how, in some cases, the greatest harm a rich
man may do his children, is to leave them his money. A strong, wholsome
story of contemporary American life--thoughtful, well-conceived and
admirably written; forceful, sincere, and true; and intensely
interesting."--_Boston Herald._
