By Ray Thompson. Square 12mo, black and gold stamp, etc. 550 pages, $1.25.
A story of New England life, full of quaint humor and abounding in pleasing incidents.
"He has given us an entertaining and not unprofitable book."—Morning Star.
"A perfect character-sketch of the humorous and earnest phrases of American Life. The quaintness and native wit of Jones are delicious, and many of his sayings and doings recall the genial side of Lincoln's character.
"A thoroughly enjoyable book, and one showing the peculiarities of American life in a most attractive manner."
II. SHADOWED BY THREE.
By Lawrence L. Lynch, Ex-Detective. Square 12mo, 53 illustrations, black and gold stamp, 738 pages, $1.50.
The most remarkable and best written of all detective stories. The illustrations alone are worth five times the price of the book.
"'Shadowed by Three' is the novel of the day. If the author is as good a detective as he is writer, he would be a boon to a Congressional Investigating Committee—that is provided they ever wanted to 'find things out,' which, of course, they don't. But do not imagine that this book is a 'detective story' in the sense those words are generally understood, for it is not. But it is a powerfully constructed novel of the school of 'The Woman in White,' 'The Moonstone,' 'Foul Play,' etc., with the added great advantage that its author is thoroughly familiar with, and master of, the varied and entrancing material he has so skillfully woven into his vivid and richly colored story."
