“We are so happy now,” Lottie said to Kitty one day. “And I am so glad of Maudie, though I did not believe in babies once; and Am is just like a young lover and I’d rather have him than all the men in the world if he was fifty his last birth-day, and I am only twenty-five; and do you know I charge it all to you, who have influenced me for good ever since I first saw you, and made that atrocious speech.”

“Let us rather both ascribe to Heaven every aspiration after a holier, better life which we may have,” was Kitty’s reply, but her heart was very happy that day, as she felt that she might perhaps have been an instrument of good to one household at least, and that to have been so was infinitely of more value and productive of more real happiness than getting into society, which she had once thought so desirable, and which, now that she was or could be in it if she chose, seemed so utterly worthless and unsatisfactory.

THE END.

MATTHEW DOYLE.
By Will Garland. This is a powerful story, and one with an object. The vital question of lynching is its theme, and arguments on both sides of the subject are ably set forth. The author has written with spirit and drawn his characters with firm and clear strokes. It is original, exciting, and shows clearly the true position of the negro in the south, in an unprejudicial manner. It is a great book. Cloth bound. 1.25
CONGRESSMAN HARDIE.
By Courtney Wellington. A self-made man, and a thorough democrat like Congressman Hardie, will always be an interesting character, and one that appeals to all genuine Americans. The romance pervading the pages of the book is a delicate one, and skilfully interwoven with the various political events. The heroine is an original conception on the part of the writer, and we see her in some phases of city life not before portrayed in romance. Cloth bound. 1.25
AMY WARREN.
By A. Sydney Logan. Author of “Not on the Chart.” The appeal of this story lies in its naturalness. The hero, Harold Littleton, is not an impossible conception, but a real man of flesh and blood, faults and virtues. A new phase of American country life is also set forth with great fidelity. The worth of this book to the average reader is in the immediate refreshment and absolute change of ideas he can get by opening its pages anywhere. It contains some fine imaginative work and has heroic love for its theme. Cloth bound, gilt top. 1.50
KATHARINE BARRY.
By Harry Hughes. The sacrifice of sentiment to religion is always a fascinating topic. In the case of this novel, it is particularly so, because of the earnestness and evident sincerity of the devoted young girl. She was only a farmer’s daughter, but she passed through most extraordinary experiences, even to being the medium of psychic-phenomena. It is a most interesting book. Cloth bound, gilt top. 1.25
MISS HOGG; The American Heiress.
By Mrs. V. C. Jones. The adventures of an American girl in London are used as the foundation of this story. Miss Hogg was an uncultured heiress, bent on capturing a coronet. In furtherance of her plans, she uses almost desperate means, and places herself in very perilous situations. Her American wit, however, helps her safely through them all, and, at the close of the book she is respected and happy. Cloth bound, gilt top. 1.50
INVISIBLE LIGHT; or, The Electric Theory of Creation.
By George W. Warder. “He holds there are only three elemental substances in nature: spirit, electricity and matter. Matter is controlled by electricity, and electricity is controlled by spirit intelligence. That in discovering electricity man has found the working force of Deity, and uses it in all fields of human effort. The arguments are convincing, and the book attractive and entertaining.”—The Kansas City Star. Beautifully bound in cloth. 1.25
GETTYSBURG, THEN AND NOW.
The Field of American Valor. By J. M. Vanderslice. The new illustrated History of Gettysburg, where and how the Regiments fought and the troops they encountered. A magnificent Quarto Volume with 125 full page illustrations, views of the battle ground and the monuments now on the field. This magnificent volume is the best and most concise history of the great battle. Octavo 492 pages, Cloth bound. 3.50
THE VEIL WITHDRAWN.
By Berton J. Maddux. A tragic beginning makes a happy ending all the more agreeable. The opening pages of this entertaining book relate a murder, and not until the end of the story is the identity of the criminal established. The interest is chained by this sustained mystery, and its denouement is a total surprise. It is a spirited and most interesting work. Cloth bound. 1.25
THE MEMOIRS OF VICTOR HUGO.
Translated by John W. Harding. “Great scenes described by the most vivid word-artist of the century.”—New York World. “Full of the most characteristic bits, sentences or whole paragraphs that no one but Hugo could have written.”—New York Times Saturday Review. Cloth bound, gilt top. 2.50
RISING FORTUNES.
By John Oxenham. Author of “The Princess of Vascovy,” “God’s Prisoner,” etc. The London advent of two poor, but talented young Scotchmen from the country, is the foundation of this splendid story. Their various adventures are carefully depicted in a manner that rivets the attention, and nothing is overdrawn. In this lies the charm of the book, rendering it beyond compare with stories of its class. The writer is gifted, and the work sure to meet a cordial reception. Cloth bound. 1.50
THE DEGENERATION OF DOROTHY.
By Frank Kinsella. This story is extraordinarily clever, and will please the honest reader in search of something unusual. The theme is the transfusion of blood and its wonderful effect upon character. Poor helpless Dorothy had to degenerate, but happily, science explained the phenomenon. The writer has produced a fascinating and original book, and one lays it down with the earnest desire to read more from the same pen. Cloth bound. 1.50
THE BOND OF BLACK.
By Wm. Le Queux. This is another charming and spell-binding story by the wonderfully successful author of “If Sinners Entice Thee,” “The Day of Temptation,” etc., and is one of the best novels of the year. Cloth bound. 1.50
DON COSME.
By T. H. Tyndale. The author here introduces us to a wealthy Southern family. The favorite daughter loves an alleged Mexican, Don Cosme, who is proven to have colored blood in his veins. The scene of the girl spurning him at the altar is very impressive and dramatic. It is an unsavory incident, but one fraught with significance. There is unlimited food for thought throughout the book, which should especially appeal to Southerners. The essential idea of the work is treated with great force and fulness. Cloth bound. 1.25
JACK CREWS.
By Martha Frye Boggs. A brilliant new novel, dedicated to the railroad engineers of America, one of whom is the hero of the story. The plot is well sustained, the hero an impressive character. The book is full of action, it is dramatic and will hold the reader’s attention to the end. Cloth bound. 1.50
THE FUNNY SIDE OF POLITICS.
By George S. Hilton. Nothing has ever been written like this book. It gives many amusing stories told in the House and Senate in Washington. The book is replete with anecdotes of many living politicians. Their names are given, as well as the occasion which called forth the stories. Third edition. Cloth bound. 1.25
THE SLAVE OF THE LAMP.
By Henry Seton Merriman. Author of “The Sowers,” “Young Mistley,” “Dross,” etc. There is a ring and thrill to this story due in part to its unusual theme. It is written with all the characteristic power of the author, and will meet a tremendous sale. Illustrated and Cloth bound, gilt top. 1.50
THE SACRIFICE OF SILENCE.
By Edouard Rod. Translated by John W. Harding. M. Rod shows, with consummate art and in two widely contrasting examples, that silence under certain conditions constitutes a heroic sacrifice, so generous in its abnegation, and in one case, in which the unblemished reputation of a wife and mother is involved, so unflinchingly steadfast, as to impart a character of nobleness and grandeur to the sin of prohibited love and its inevitable accompaniments, lying, deceit and hypocrisy. Cloth bound, gilt top. 1.50
A PRINCESS OF VASCOVY.
By John Oxenham. Author of “God’s Prisoner.” A story that will win thousands of admirers. It is an artistic conception; a true romance, which has about it a quality of real life. It is a dramatic tale equal in many respects to the “Prisoner of Zenda,” and fully as interesting. Cloth bound, gilt top. 1.50
THE MAN WHO DARED.
By John P. Ritter. Mr. Ritter has achieved a work of rare interest. It is a great historical picture of the time of Robespierre, in which fact and fancy are welded together in a fine realization of the spirit of the times. It has all the elements of a genuine romance, and is an unusually fascinating historical romance. Illustrated. Cloth bound, gilt top. 1.25
THE DAY OF TEMPTATION.
By Wm. Le Queux. This is one of this author’s best stories. It is thrilling and realistic, and bears out a mystery which carries the reader through a labyrinth of strange experiences. Cloth bound. 1.50
THE STORY OF THE ROUGH RIDERS.
By Edward Marshall. The most intensely interesting book of modern times. It is devoted entirely to this one famous regiment. It contains a complete roster of the regiment, and is profusely illustrated from photographs and drawings. Cloth bound. 1.50
WATERS THAT PASS AWAY.
By N. B. Winston. “There is a deep lesson of life to be learned from a book like this, and in it one may study character, and the infallible trend of social consequences, sorrow ever following sin, and sin in its turn yielding to joy when true repentance follows after.”—Philadelphia Item. Cloth bound. 1.25
THE RETURN OF THE O’MAHONY.
By Harold Frederic. To those who have read “The Damnation of Theron Ware,” and “Seth’s Brother’s Wife,” there will be found in this extremely delightful novel, “The Return of the O’Mahony,” a book that will gratify the reader much more than any other book of the times. Illustrated, and with portrait of the author. Cloth bound, deckle edge, gilt top. 1.50
