TRUTH DEXTER
TRUTH DEXTER
By SIDNEY McCALL
Author of "The Breath of the Gods"
12mo. 375 pages. $1.50
A novel of united North and South of rare power and absorbing interest. It is but fair to say that not one of the novels which appeared last year on either side of the Atlantic (including those from the pen of the most gifted writers) was superior to this in artistic quality, dramatic power, and human interest combined. We do not hope to see it surpassed, even if equalled.—Philadelphia Telegraph.
Exceptionally clever and brilliant, it has what are rarely found with these dazzling qualities,—delicacy and genuine sentiment.—Brooklyn Times.
A fine, sweet and strong American romance.—New York World.
I don't know how to praise it enough. I can't recall any novel which has interested me so absorbingly for years. It is a matchless book!—Louise Chandler Moulton.
The author at once takes place among the foremost novelists of the day.—Boston Transcript.
A story that compels attention from start to finish.—Chicago Record-Herald.

THE WOOD-CARVEROF 'LYMPUS
THE WOOD-CARVEROF 'LYMPUS
By M. E. WALLER
Author of "A Daughter of the Rich," etc.
With frontispiece by Chase Emerson. 12mo. 311 pages. $1.50
A strong tale of human loves and hopes set in a background of the granite mountain-tops of remote New England.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Hugh Armstrong, the hero, is one of the pronouncedly high class character delineations of a quarter century.—Boston Courier.
It is a book which does one good to read and which is not readily forgotten; for in it are mingled inextricably the elements of humor and pathos and also a strain of generous feeling which uplifts and humanizes.—Harry Thruston Peck, Editor ofThe Bookman.
A few books are published every year that really minister to the tired hearts of this hurried age. They are like little pilgrimages away from the world across the Delectable Mountains of Good.... This year it is "The Wood-Carver of 'Lympus."... It is all told with a primitive sweetness that is refreshing in these days when every writer cultivates the clever style.—Independent, New York.
The book is as manly as "Ralph Connors," and written with a more satisfying art.—Amos R. Wells, inChristian Endeavor World.

SUSAN CLEGG AND HERFRIEND MRS. LATHROP
By ANNE WARNER
Author of "A Woman's Will," etc.
With Frontispiece. 227 pages. 12mo. $1.00.
It is seldom a book so full of delightful humor comes before the reader. Anne Warner takes her place in the circle of American woman humorists, who have achieved distinction so rapidly within recent years.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Nothing better in the new homely philosophy style of fiction has been written.—San Francisco Bulletin.
Anne Warner has given us the rare delight of a book that is extremely funny. Hearty laughter is in store for every reader.—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Susan is a positive contribution to the American characters in fiction.—Brooklyn Times.
Susan Clegg is a living creature, quite as amusing and even more plausible than Mrs. Wiggs. Susan's human weaknesses are endearing, and we find ourselves in sympathy with her.—New York Evening Post.
No more original or quaint person than she has ever lived in fiction.—Newark Advertiser.

Mr. Oppenheim's most Romantic Novel
THEMASTER MUMMER
THEMASTER MUMMER
By E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM
Author of "A Prince of Sinners," "Anna the Adventuress,""Mysterious Mr. Sabin," etc.
Illustrated by F. H. Townsend. 12mo. $1.50
The dexterous craftsmanship in the manipulation of an absorbing plot that characterizes Mr. Oppenheim's work is here applied to the most romantic theme he has as yet conceived. The strange adventures that befel the young Princess of the imaginary kingdom of Bartena, and the significant part the mysterious "Master Mummer" plays in the girl's life, furnish abundant material for a fresh and fascinating modern romance.
There are several English novelists of the day whose work may be taken on trust, if one wishes merely to be entertained. Among these writers are Anthony Hope, E. W. Hornung, and E. Phillips Oppenheim. Mr. Oppenheim is the youngest of the three, but in sheer force of imagination, which keeps the reader's interest on the stretch from the beginning to the end of a story, he is easily foremost.—San Francisco Call.
