Illustrated.
12mo. $1.50
Full of the atmosphere of the West, with a cowboy, land speculator, and
lover for its hero, Mr. Whitson's new novel, without being in the least
a copy, has many of the attractions of Mr. Wister's hero, "The
Virginian."
"The Rainbow Chasers" is a virile American novel and treats of the
elemental forces of Western life and the results of the great fever of
speculation in land. The prairies and forests of the West are the scenes
which the author has chosen for a novel which is full of interest and
strength.
The characters of the story are vigorous men, men with red blood in
their veins, men of action who build up new communities.

_By the Author of "A Prince of Sinners"_
ANNA THE ADVENTURESS
By E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM, author of "A Prince of Sinners," etc.
Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50
Mr. Oppenheim's new story of London life shows this talented and
increasingly popular author at his best. The subtle character study of
two sisters, Anna and Annabel, is masterly. The latter "got herself
talked about" when she and her sister lived in Paris, and when Sir John
Ferringham proposed to her, believing her to be Anna, she keeps up the
delusion. The consequences of this bold deception Mr. Oppenheim has
unfolded to us with remarkable ingenuity. The story increases in
interest as it progresses, and sparkles with brilliant conversation and
strong situations.

_The Story of a Man's Triumph over the Flesh_
THE WOOD-CARVER OF 'LYMPUS
By MARY E. WALLER, author of "A Daughter of the Rich," etc.
Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50
The hero of Miss Waller's new story is one of the most powerful and
original characters portrayed in recent fiction. Hugh Armstrong, used to
a busy out-of-door life, in felling a tree meets with an accident and
loses the use of his limbs. At first he finds it impossible to adjust
himself to his shut-in life, but a friend suggests wood-carving to him.
Through work and love a great change comes over him, and the author has
portrayed to us in a powerful manner Armstrong's salvation. The scenes
are laid in the Green Mountains of Vermont.
