keen pleasure it has given, and the vision of something good in human nature that it has brought before them. THE ONE-WAY TRAIL. By Ridgwell Cullum. This is a wholesome story of life and love in Montana, with real men and women, a strong plot and thrilling situations. Intensely interesting from beginning to end. THE GUESTS OF HERCULES. By C. N. and A. M. Williamson. This is a story of the Riviera and Monte Carlo--and a clever and rather complicated plot. The girl is particularly unusual and piquant, the man more than ever loverlike and fascinating. MOLLY McDONALD, A Tale of the Old Frontier. By Randall Parrish. This is the story of a charming, whole-hearted girl, who leaving an Eastern school joins her father at a military post in Kansas during the Indian wars of 1868. TO M. L. G., OR ONE WHO PASSED. This is a life-story written by a woman who had not dared to risk telling it to the man she loved. She preferred to send him away rather than to lose his respect; knowing her life to have been so different from what he fancied it. For sale by most booksellers at the popular price of 50 cents. Published by the A. L. BURT COMPANY, 52 Duane Street, New York. * * * * * AUNT JANE OF KENTUCKY By ELIZA CALVERT HALL With Aunt Jane a real personage has come into literature.

ALSO BY THE SAME AUTHOR The Land of Long Ago "The Land of Long Ago," in which reappears that famous character, "Aunt Jane of Kentucky," is a delightful picture of rural life in the Blue Grass country, showing the real charm and spirit of the old time country folk--a book full of sentiment and kindliness and high ideals. It cannot fail to appeal to every reader by reason of its sunny humor, its sweetness and sincerity, its entire fidelity to life. Aunt
