By THOMAS DIXON 



The Root of Evil 



A romance of American life in this day 

 and for this generation. How one man 

 secured the best gifts of life by abandoning 

 those things which are commonly held first- 

 such is the splendid theme of Mr. Dixon's 

 new novel. 



Mr. ALBERT G. LAWSON, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of 

 Water-bury, Conn., says: "It is the best work Mr. Dixon has ever done. 

 It is timely, it sustains itself consistently from start to finish, its characters 

 are cut as clearly as cameos, and it tingles with life from first to last. It 

 is worth more than forty ordinary sermons on the love of money." 

 Illustrated in color by George Wright. Fixed price, $1.20 (postage, 12c).

 COMRADES 



"The book has tremendous 'snap' and vigor; and Mr. Dixon's arguments, lightly presented by his 

 numerous and well-drawn characters, indicate that he has viewed several aspects of the subject."— Chicago 

 Post. Illustrated in color. $1.50. 



THE TRAITOR 



A thrilling story of Love, Adventure, Treason and the United States Secret Service, dealing with the 

 decline and fall of the Ku Klux Klan. Illustrated. $1.50. 



THE ONE WOMAN 



A love story and character study of three strong men and two fascinating women. Illustrated. $1.50. 



THE CLANSMAN 



"In this book there is not one tame, weak, halting word. The story marches like an army with banners 

 straight to its goal. As the cannon ball goes to its mark, this story goes to its finish — and ends leaving us 

 asking the question: 'Why doesn't he keep on?' " New York American. Illustrated. $1.50. 



THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS 



This book strongly presents the dominant Southern view of the race question, in a series of the most 

 dramatic incidents that can be found in modern history. Illustrated. $1.50.
