The Pace That Kills Part 13

"A brilliant and interesting love-story."--_Boston Commonwealth._

The Black Ball. By E. DE LANCEY PIERSON.

Mr. Pierson's latest and best work, alive with humor and genuine pathos, at once fantastic and intensely human.

A Dream and a Forgetting. By JULIAN HAWTHORNE.

"A delightful story, told with a charming idyllic sweetness by this successor of the Seer of Salem."--_Texas Siftings._

"Without much doubt the best piece of work that Mr. Hawthorne has yet turned out. It is intensely interesting."--_Springfield (Ma.s.s.) Union._

"If it has a fault it is that of brevity."--_Cleveland Leader._

"One of the most perfect pieces of work that Mr. Hawthorne has ever done in fiction. It has the Hawthorne atmosphere, the imaginative beauty, the touch of the mystic in it."--_Boston Traveller._

The Professor's Sister. By JULIAN HAWTHORNE.

"There is no other American writer of the day who can present a mystery and unfold it in all its details with such consummate skill as Hawthorne."--_Richmond States._

"Is, without doubt, not only one of the very best that this author has yet achieved, but it is not too much to say that it will rank with the strongest novels that have been given to the public in years."--_Nashville American._

"Human pa.s.sions and actual life are well mixed into the warp and woof of the plot, and some striking characters are evolved in admirable narrative, and colloquial style."--_N. Y. Truth._

Kisses of Fate. By E. HERON-ALLEN.

"A collection of clever tales, three in number, the merit of which is not suggested in the t.i.tle he has chosen to give them, while in grace and finish they reflect to his credit."--_Albany Union._

Princess Daphne. By E. HERON-ALLEN.

"Somewhat unorthodox, but highly interesting."--_Reading Union._

"Weird stories are in vogue at present, and some are good and far more are the reverse. This is one of the best."--_Baltimore News._

"The book is written in an attractive style, and is intensely interesting."--_Albany Express._

Among the Tramps. By "UNCLE TIM."

A volume of rare interest and information, from the pen of a writer thoroughly conversant with that philosophy which bears upon the well-being of society and every-day life.

Confessions of a Society Man.

"The book is interesting throughout because of the rapid and continual s.h.i.+fting of incidents which is its chief characteristic."--_Philadelphia Bulletin._

"The love-making in it is charming. It is interesting up to the very end."--_Nashville American._

A Tramp Actor. By ELLIOT BARNES.

"There are good things in the book, and it is endowed with an excellent moral."--_N. Y. Sun._

Forty Tears on the Rail. By C. B. GEORGE.

"The book is destined to have a very extended reading, as its pages are not only interesting, but instructive."--_Keokuk Democrat._

The Friend to the Widow. By MAJA SPENCER.

"This is a love-story pure and simple, but just one of those stories that form most delightful reading, free from heroics and wild sensations."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._

Why Was It? By LEWIS BENJAMIN.

"The chief charm of the book lies in the simple manner of telling the story, and in the fact that its basis and its incidents are precisely such as may be picked up almost anywhere, at any time."--_Nashville American._

The Wrong Man. By GERTRUDE GARRISON.

"'The Wrong Man' is not in the least sensational--not the kind of a story to set people talking about its possible consequences on the minds of unseasoned readers. Nothing feverish, questionable, or coa.r.s.e in it. Much rare qualities does it possess, which give it distinction in these days of rankly flavored fiction."--_Philadelphia Herald._

A Boston Girl. By REV. ARTHUR SWAZE.

"Those who read 'A Boston Girl' will like it, and those who do not read it will, if they only knew it, miss spending an agreeable hour or two."--_San Francisco Call._

A Drummer's Diary. By CHARLES S. PLUMMER.
