“The Game” resembles “The Call of the Wild” very strongly in the unity and rapidity of its action, in its singleness of purpose, and in its conveyed impression of power. “The Game” is that which takes place within the squared ring; included in the story is an intensely graphic portrayal of what the prize ring stands for and means to participants, spectators, and the general scheme of things.
THE STORM CENTRE
By CHARLES EGBERT CRADDOCK
Author of “The Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains,” “The Story of Old Fort Loudon,” etc.
Cloth 12mo $1.50
A war story; but more of flirtation, love, and courtship, than of fighting or history. It is a simple and pleasing tale of a wounded Union officer in a household strongly in sympathy with the Confederate cause. The officer falls in love with the young lady of the house, and the son of the family, a dashing young Confederate officer, comes back to see his family. While there the rebel officer secures information that enables the Southern army to gain an important strategical advantage, and the Union officer is eventually court-martialled. The tale is light and entertaining and thoroughly readable, and the background is that associated with Miss Murfree’s well-earned fame.
