gripping story. The terrible intensity of the writer holds one
chained to the book."--_Chicago Tribune._

Mr. Comfort has drawn upon two practically new story places in the world
of fiction to furnish the scenes for his narrative--India and Manchuria
at the time of the Russo-Japanese War. While the novel is distinguished
by its clear and vigorous war scenes, the fine and sweet romance of the
love of the hero, Routledge--a brave, strange, and talented
American--for the "most beautiful woman in London" rivals these in
interest.

=PHRYNETTE=

BY MARTHE TROLY-CURTIN

With a frontispiece by FRANK DESCH
12mo. Decorated cloth, $1.25 net

Phrynette is seventeen, extremely clever and naive, and attractive in
every way. The death of her French father in Paris leaves her an orphan,
and she goes to London to live with an aunt of Scotch descent. Her
impressions of the people, the happenings and the places she becomes
familiar with, peculiarities of customs and every little thing of
interest are all touched upon in a charming and original manner, while
in places there is irresistible humor. Throughout there is a good solid
love story, and the ending is all that is to be desired.

"A very charming novel."--_San Francisco Argonaut._

"Original, clever and extremely well-written."--_Pittsburgh
Dispatch._

"Refreshingly original and full of wholesome mirth. To say that
the book is delightful reading is understating the
fact."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._

The scenes of this delightful romance are set in the south-western part
of New Jersey, during the years 1820-30. An unusual situation develops

offices of the long-lost heir, Henry Morvan. Troubles thicken about him
and along with them the romance develops. Through it all rides "The Lady
of the Spur" with a briskness, charm, and mystery about her that give an
unusual zest to the book from it
