BOOKS BY
CHARLES EGBERT CRADDOCK
(MISS MARY MURFREE)
The Storm Center
Cloth, 12mo. $1.50 net.In the course of its review ofThe Storm Centre, the Louisville Courier-Journal says: “This beautiful novel by Charles Egbert Craddock shows the brilliant and popular writer in her best vein. None of Miss Murfree’s later books possesses more interest than this story of love and war and life. The war scenes, the guiding motives of the opposed sides, the pictures of the old Southern household, are strikingly impressive by the nobility and the breadth of their portrayal. The book is one to be held in high favor long after many of to-day’s ‘best sellers’ are forgotten.”

The Story of Old Fort Loudon
Cloth, $1.50 net.Standard School Library Edition, 50c. net.A tale of the Cherokees and the Pioneers of Tennessee, 1760, by the author ofThe Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains. Illustrated by Ernest C. Peixotto.PUBLISHED BYTHE MACMILLAN COMPANY64-66 Fifth Avenue, New YorkNEW MACMILLAN FICTIONThe Wife of Sir Isaac HarmanBy H. G. WELLS.Cloth, 12mo. $1.50 net.The name of H. G. Wells upon a title page is an assurance of merit. It is a guarantee that on the pages which follow will be found an absorbing story told with master skill. In the present book Mr. Wells surpasses even his previous efforts. He is writing of modern society life, particularly of one very charming young woman, Lady Harman, who finds herself so bound in by conventions, so hampered by restrictions, largely those of a well intentioned but short sighted husband, that she is ultimately moved to revolt. The real meaning of this revolt, its effect upon her life and those of her associates are narrated by one who goes beneath the surface in his analysis of human motives. In the group of characters, writers, suffragists, labor organizers, social workers and society lights surrounding Lady Harman, and in the dramatic incidents which compose the years of her existence which are described by Mr. Wells, there is a novel which is significant in its interpretation of the trend of affairs to-day, and fascinatingly interesting as fiction. It is Mr. Wells at his best.PUBLISHED BYTHE MACMILLAN COMPANY64-66 Fifth Avenue, New YorkNEW MACMILLAN FICTIONThe Mutiny of the ElsinoreBy JACK LONDON, Author of “The Sea Wolf,” “The Call of the Wild,” etc.With frontispiece in colors by Anton Fischer.Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net.Everyone who remembersThe Sea Wolfwith pleasure will enjoy this vigorous narrative of a voyage from New York around Cape Horn in a large sailing vessel.The Mutiny of the Elsinoreis the same kind of tale as its famous predecessor, and by those who have read it, it is pronounced even more stirring. Mr. London is here writing of scenes and types of people with which he is very familiar, the sea and ships and those who live in ships. In addition to the adventure element, of which there is an abundance of the usual London kind, a most satisfying kind it is, too, there is a thread of romance involving a wealthy, tired young man who takes the trip on theElsinore, and the captain’s daughter. The play of incident, on the one hand the ship’s amazing crew and on the other the lovers, gives a story in which the interest never lags and which demonstrates anew what a master of his art Mr. London is.PUBLISHED BYTHE MACMILLAN COMPANY64-66 Fifth Avenue, New YorkNEW MACMILLAN FICTIONThe Three SistersBy MAY SINCLAIR, Author of “The Divine Fire,” “The Return of the Prodigal,” etc.Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net.Every reader ofThe Divine Fire, in fact every reader of any of Miss Sinclair’s books, will at once accord her unlimited praise for her character work.The Three Sistersreveals her at her best. It is a story of temperament, made evident not through tiresome analyses but by means of a series of dramatic incidents. The sisters of the title represent three distinct types of womankind. In their reaction under certain conditions Miss Sinclair is not only telling a story of tremendous interest but she is really showing a cross section of life.The Rise of Jennie CushingBy MARY S. WATTS, Author of “Nathan Burke,” “Van Cleve,” etc.Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net.InNathan BurkeMrs. Watts told with great power the story of a man. In this, her new book, she does much the same thing for a woman. Jennie Cushing is an exceedingly interesting character, perhaps the most interesting of any that Mrs. Watts has yet given us. The novel is her life and little else, but that is a life filled with a variety of experiences and touching closely many different strata of humankind. Throughout it all, from the days when as a thirteen-year-old, homeless, friendless waif, Jennie is sent to a reformatory, to the days when her beauty is the inspiration of a successful painter, there is in the narrative an appeal to the emotions, to the sympathy, to the affections, that cannot be gainsaid.
