CURLY
A Tale of the Arizona Desert
By ROGER POCOCK
Author of "Following the Frontier," etc.
A remarkable story of cattle ranges of Arizona, the great desert, and the grand canon of the Colorado river. The author has written a romance of adventure, of conflict, and of love,—a story of breathless interest, remarkable situation, and great humor and pathos. Chalkeye, the cowboy who tells the story, Captain McCalmont, the robber-chief, Lord Babshannon, the owner of a Colorado ranch, his son "Jim," and "Curly," who gives the name to the story, are characters of great strength, finely portrayed and well contrasted.
ON THE FIRING LINE
A Romance of South Africa
By ANNA CHAPIN RAY and HAMILTON BROCK FULLER
In this fine romance of love and war Miss Ray has a wider field than she has compassed before and strikes a deeper note of feeling. The events take place in South Africa during the Boer War, and in local details Mr. Fuller has given valuable aid. As in the author's other books, the characters awaken interest because they are so human.
