 Ti»isti»am of Blent 



A New Novel by ANTHONY HOPE 



Far diiFerent from "The Prisoner of Zenda," the author's latest work 

 proves that he does not need an imaginary land and ideal conditions to write 

 a thrilling romance. ** Tristrak.ri\ of Blent** is a story of strong plot and 

 most interesting complications which only time in the person of Anthony Hope can 

 untangle. These complications are based upon the difference in the calendar time 

 of England and Russia, by which technicality Harry Tristram is deprived of name 

 and fortune. Old England has not yet become prosaic when she can boast of 

 such material. {^Price $1.^0.') 



Jack Racei* 



By HENRY SOMERVILLE 



**JFack R_a,cer '* is a story of Hfe in the typical small town of the West, as brignt and breezy 

 as the name itself, and as genuine and wholesome as this life truly is in its best aspects. Jack Racer, 

 upon whom the interest centers, is an irresistible chap with somewhat of a reputation as a ne'er-do-well; 

 but Jack doesn't worry. His ever genial nature permeates the whole story, making it a veritable 

 lesson in optimism. Of peculiar disposition must he be who, having read this book, can close it with the 

 feeling that life is not worth living. (^Price $1.^0.) 



The Westefiieirs 



By STEWART EDWARD WHITE

 who from actual experience have become familiar with unconventional scenes 

 and unconventional lives. In ** The Westerners "' he tells a story of 

 the Black Hills in that period when "every day was a book filled vi^ith excite- 

 ment and beauty and pathos." From the first the reader knows that he is on 

 the scent of a good story. There are no disappointments. It is a splendid tale 

 of the West in its most picturesque decade. (^Price $1.^0.^

Chi'fstoplieir in His Spoi'ting Jacket 



By CHRISTOPHER NORTH 

 Perhaps next to creation in point of merit comes resurrection. We are glad 



to announce that " Christopher in His Sporting Jatcket.*' 



by Christopher North, h^s at last been published in a style befitting 

 its excellence. Too good to lose, too good to remain in obscurity is this 

 Httle classic by the author of " Noctes Ambrosianae." It is a diverting 

 account of Scottish sports, with notable qualities of humor and narrative 

 description. The illustrations are eight in number, etched by A. M. McLellan 

 and colored by hand for each volume. These etchings are, in . thernselves, 

 sufficient to make the book worthy of possession. The edition is a populariza- 

 tion of the "edition de luxe," the number of copies being limited to 2,500.
