The period of Mr. Smith's story is the beginning of the eighteenth
century, when the shores of the American colonies were harassed and
the seas patrolled by pirates and buccaneers. These robbed and
spoiled, and often seized and put to death, the sailors and fishers
and other humbler folk, while their leaders claimed friendship alike
with Southern planters and New England merchants,--with whom it is
said they frequently divided their spoils.

The times were stern and the colonists were hardy, but they loved as
truly and tenderly as in more peaceful days. Thus, while the hero's
adventures with pirates and his search for their hidden treasure is a
record of desperate encounters and daring deeds, his love-story and
his winning of sweet Mary Vane is in delightful contrast.

The Rome Express. BY MAJOR ARTHUR GRIFFITHS, author of "The
Passenger from Calais," etc.

Cloth decorative, with a colored frontispiece
by A.O. Scott $1.25

A mysterious murder on a flying express train, a wily Italian, a
charming woman caught in the meshes of circumstantial evidence, a
chivalrous Englishman, and a police force with a keen nose for the
wrong clue, are the ingredients from which Major Griffiths has
concocted a clever, up-to-date detective story. The book is bright and
spirited, with rapid action, and consistent development which brings
the story to a logical and dramatic ending.

The Morning Glory Club. BY GEORGE A. KYLE.

Cloth decorative, with a colored frontispiece
by A.O. Scott $1.25

The doings of the Morning Glory Club will furnish genuine amusement to
the reader. Originally formed to "elevate" the village, it quickly
develops into an exchange for town gossip. It has a saving grace,
however, in the person of motherly Mrs. Stout, the uncultured but
sweet-natured and pure-minded village philosopher, who pours the oil
of her saneness and charity on the troubled waters of discussion and
condemnation.

It is a series of clear and interesting pictures of the humor of
village life.
