THE END.
STORIES by AMERICAN AUTHORS.
Bound in Cloth, 50 cents per Volume.
“The American short story has a distinct artistic quality. It has the directness of narrative and careful detail of the best French novelettes, with an added flexibility that is peculiar to itself. It has humor, too. Each one of the tales is a masterpiece, and, taken together, they afford delightful entertainment for leisure half hours. All may be read more than once.”—Boston Traveler.
