“It is not a mere morbid probing into the abnormal and horrible. It has its mission. It is a grim and terrible picture, and it is painted with tremendous art—the art of a Dore.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

THE FORGED COUPON. By Count Leo Tolstoi. (Published 1912.) This story shows the successive evil and wrong resulting from the forging of a bank note by a student in need of money. Numerous crimes succeed each other as a result of this first wrong act, until the wave of crime is checked by a poor, ignorant woman and a lame tailor, who follow the real teaching of Christ. The book contains also After the Ball, a story of love and military life; Korney Vasilyev, a story of peasant life; Tolstoi’s Vital Humanitarian Ideas, giving the very essence of the fountain-spring and incentive of all the literary work ever written by this wonderful man—a peep, as it were, at the power-works of his thinking machine. Cloth bound. Price, $1.00; postpaid.
