A. B. FROST 

 Carlo 



Here is a set of brand new drawings, never before published in 

 any form, by A. B. Frost, the man who drew Uncle Remus. Father 

 brought Carlo home "to amuse the children." But the more you 

 see of him, the more you realize that he is not a dog to be "taken" 

 anywhere. He has an individuality all his own — and it doesn't 

 take father long to find it out. Carlo has a picturesque and meteoric 

 career, and these are the moving pictures of it. It's delightful 

 nonsense. Illustrated. Net $1. 00. Ready October 4th. 



MARY HAMILTON FRYE, Illustrator 

 The Wonderful Adventures of Nils 



By SELMA LAGERLOF 



The drawings for this edition were made a number of years ago 

 by Miss Frye, merely for the delight of it, never dreaming of having 

 them published. Once discovered, however, they were accepted with 

 enthusiasm. As a gift book it can hardly be surpassed, and we be- 

 lieve it will occupy a place all its own in the list of illustrated editions 

 of fairy lore. Illustrated. Net $2.50. Ready October 23rd. 



HULBERT FOOTNER 



Jack Chanty 



Jack Chanty was a character known to every trapper in the 

 North. They knew he came from the "outside," but what his past 

 had been, none knew, nor did anyone care. But the world and his 

 past, in the shape of Garrod and a girl, followed him, and how it all 

 turns out is a mighty interesting story. If you read "Two on the 

 Trail," you will not miss "Jack Chanty." Illustrated. Net $1.25. 

 Ready September 20th. 



WALTER ARCHER FROST 

 The Man Between 



"The nGaka's curse upon you," shrieked the witch doctor, 

 "and death comes fast to those who have earned the nGaka's curse." 

 And forthwith Frazer collapsed on the floor. That's the start of the 

 story and you follow the adventures of Ormsby, the American, and 

 his unfortunate South African companions with breathless interest 

 from that time on. Mr. Frost has caught the hopeless spirit of these 

 South African exiles in a wonderful way, and told a story that will 

 both move and mystify you. Illustrated. Net $1.25. Ready 

 October 4th. 



F. HOPKINSON SMITH 

 In Thackeray's London 



Would you see Staple Inn across from Furnival's where Dickens 

 lodged? Or Gaunt Square where Lord Steyne had his house, or the 

 other haunts of Thackeray's characters? Here they are delightfully 

 drawn in charcoal and described by the greatest author-artist of 

 the day. Illustrated. Net $3.50. Ready October 23rd. Edition 

 De Luxe, circular of information on request. 



DAVID STARR JORDAN 

 War and Waste 



Here Dr. Jordan discusses and proves the interest of "big busi- 

 ness" in war as a financial enterprise and shows what a tremendous 

 waste not only in actual money but in character and national vitality 

 results from a war in general. For, it is not the weaklings that are 

 lost, but the able-bodied and the men of brains, so that to the weak- 

 lings is left the task of breeding succeeding generations. Net $1.25. 

 Ready October 23rd. 



HELEN KELLER 

 Out of the Dark 



Here is another remarkable book from this truly remarkable 

 woman comparable in interest to her inspiring "Story of My Life." 

 In "Out of the Dark" Miss Keller discusses some of the questions 

 nearest her heart ■ — blindness and its prevention, the social con- 

 dition of women, our present-day economic condition. In whatever 

 she writes, you feel the refreshing clearness of her vision. Portrait 

 Frontispiece. Net $1.00. Ready September 20th. 



GERARD HARRY 

 Man's Miracle 



In Europe this book has been hailed as sensational in the best 

 sense of the word because of its criticism of our present-day educa- 

 tional methods and its startling conclusions about the origin and 

 perfectibility of the human race drawn from investigation of the four 

 deaf mutes who have astonished the world by their learning, Helen 

 Keller, Laura Bridgman, Marie and Martha Heurtin. An absorb- 

 ingly interesting narrative with all the appeal of a novel. Illustrated. 

 Net $1.35. 



MAURICE LEBLANC 



The Confessions of Arsene Lupin 



Arsene Lupin confesses! That alone is extraordinary enough. 

 But the crimes to which he confesses are yet more extraordinary. 

 He solved the Repstein murder case, for which 100,000 francs reward 

 was offered and as quickly withdrawn. He stole the Sparmiento 

 tapestries under the very nose of the police. It was he — but you 

 will have to read the stories yourself to see all he did. Suffice it to 

 say that they solve the most baffling cases the police of Europe have 

 ever had to. deal with. Illustrated. Net $1.25. Ready Septem- 

 ber 20th.
