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. * * * * * _A New Novel of Present-Day Virginia Life_ WHERE THE TIDE COMES IN By LUCY MEACHAM THRUSTON, author of "Mistress Brent," "A Girl of Virginia," etc. Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50 In
