THE RICHER LIFE 



"VTOTHING could be more appropriate than this for a Holi- 

 -L ' day gift. First, under each chapter, comes a parable, a 

 fairy-tale — and then hard upon the heels of the story, there 

 is a stimulating, provoking, humorous discussion of those 

 problems which are the warp and woof of every-day life for 

 you and me. It carries a message of good cheer to every 

 reader, and one chapter upon Christmas and the keeping of 

 the Christmas spirit will find its way to many hearts.

a 

 curious, fascinating story of unusual plot, the kind of fiction that catches 

 quickly in the first chapter, tightens its grip as the pages are turned, and 

 holds fast without the least marking of time to the end." ■ — Boston Globe.

she shows herself a worthy successor of Thomas Hardy, as able and as

"A good "story at the outset, carrying a strong plot to a climax logical 

 and dramatic. Cool consideration shows not construction but characterization 

 to be its noblest distinguishing feature. As a study of well-depicted, well-con- 

 trasted character values the book is remarkably fine."— Chicago Record Herald.

The Adventures of Bobby Orde "\A7"V| jf p 



This is Mr. White's first book for younger readers, and **v* 



the hundreds of thousands who delighted in "The Rules of the Game" and 

 "The Riverman" can easily imagine what an ideal boy's tale he makes of the 

 outdoor experiences of Bobby, the son of Orde "The Riverman." For 

 these three stories, while quite independent of one another, are a trilogy of 

 the life and adventures of the Ordes, father and son. Illustrated. Fixed 

 price, $1.20 (postage 12c). By the same author: "The Cabin." "The Rules 

 of the Game."

The adventures of a Boy Scout with Indian Quonab and 

 little dog Skookum in the War of 1812. "The boy who doesn't enjoy this 

 book is no boy at all, but an imitation. It is a good, red blooded story 

 lavishly illustrated by a man who can make animals almost growl out of the 

 printed page. Never has Mr. Seton's double talent for writing and illustrat- 

 ing shone to such good purpose." — The Duluth Herald. Full page illustrations

O. Henry 



Sixes and Sevens 



In these pages one moves in the same world 



which he loved so well to draw in all his books — the every-day world of you 

 and me. He laughs at you, but always with you as well — and there is a 

 saving quality in this. His fun is always found in the humor of your plight, 

 never in the misfortune of it : and when he laughs loudest he is nearest to tears.
