A genius for depicting character in a telling way, and in a style that is charming as well as pungent, is one of Mary Devereux's strongest points.—Rocky Mountain News, Denver.
It is a positive treat to read such a pure, sweet story,—a genuine story of natural men and women in a seashore town in New England.—Buffalo Commercial.

LAFITTE OF LOUISIANA
By MARY DEVEREUX. Illustrated by Harry C. Edwards.
12mo. 427 pages. $1.50.
The remarkable career of Jean Lafitte during the French Revolution and the War of 1812, and the strange tie between this so-called "Pirate of the Gulf" and Napoleon Bonaparte, is the basis of this absorbing and virile story,—a novel of love and adventure written by a skilled hand.
This work is one of the most ambitious of its class, and it has in the introduction of Napoleon as Lafitte's guardian angel a picturesque feature which makes it of rather unusual interest.—Philadelphia Record.
