Cloth decorative, illustrated $1.50
Mr. Stephens has put into his new book, “Clementina’s Highwayman,” the finest qualities of plot, construction, and literary finish.
The story is laid in the mid-Georgian period. It is a dashing, sparkling, vivacious comedy, with a heroine as lovely and changeable as an April day, and a hero all ardor and daring.
The exquisite quality of Mr. Stephens’s literary style clothes the story in a rich but delicate word-fabric; and never before have his setting and atmosphere been so perfect.

The stories in Mr. Roberts’s new collection are the strongest and best he has ever written.
He has largely taken for his subjects those animals rarely met with in books, whose lives are spent “In the Silences,” where they are the supreme rulers. Mr. Roberts has written of them sympathetically, as always, but with fine regard for the scientific truth.
“As a writer about animals, Mr. Roberts occupies an enviable place. He is the most literary, as well as the most imaginative and vivid of all the nature writers.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
