The Red Lane 
BY HOLMAN DAY. 
Author of “King Spruce,” “The Ramrod- 
ders,” etc. 
Vibrant with human passions, Mr. Day’s new story pictures with vivid realism the 
life of the settlers along the Maine-Canadian border. 
None other than a writer who has sojourned among these simple-hearted and clean- 
faithed folks, who has learned their ways, their nobleness and their frailties, their rev¬ 
erence for authority, their loves, hates, and passions could have so adequately painted 
the remarkable human characters that unite in making a volume which the reader is 
loath to lay aside.

The Moth 
BY WILLIAM DANA ORCUT. 
Author of “The Spell,” “The Lever,” etc. 
The fascinating story of a flighty young 
fool of a woman who drags her two best 
friends down into the morass of a sordid- 
seeming scandal. Her conduct is apt to 
fill the average reader with a strong de¬ 
sire to shake her, which is the best proof 
of the reality of her personality as the 
author has placed it in his pages. 
Frontispiece. Post 8vo Cloth, $1.30 net. 
Paul Rundel 
BY WILL N. HARBEN. 
Author of “Dixie Hart,” “Abner Daniel,” 
“Jane Dawson,” etc. 
This new story of Southern life stirs 
all the deepest emotions of the human 
heart. Its scene is in one of those Georgia 
villages that Mr. Harben knows so well 
and depicts with so much charm of homely 
realism. The story portrays people of 
rough, strong passions whose characters 
grip by their reality, while Paul Rundel’s 
struggle captures the reader’s sympathy in 
an unusual degree.

The Voice 
BY MARGARET DELAND. 
Author of “The Iron Woman,” etc. 
A new Dr. Lavendar story and a new 
heroine. Phillippa is the girl—an old- 
fashioned little thing, full of pleasant 
silences and soft gaiety and simple, 
startling truth-telling. Her lover is the : 
orthodox village parson, whose uncon-* 
scious affection for Phillippa is most 
skilfully portrayed. The parson’s wooing 
of Phillippa is quite the quaintest and 
most charming story Mrs. Deland has yet 
portrayed.

The Honorable 
Miss Moonlight 
BY ONOTO WATANNA. 
Author of “A Japanese Nightingale,” 
“Tama,” etc. 
Only Japan could be the scene of this 
daintily picturesqu yet vitally human 
story, with its charming quaintness of 
costume and manners, its note of high he¬ 
roism, and its curious, thrilling drama of 
birth and death, or life and love. Framed 
in colorful atmosphere that is genuinely 
Japanese, the appealing figur; of the 
fragile Geisha girl whom the gods at last 
blessed with a son forms a striking picture 
of blended pathos and idyllic love.

Peter Newell’s Newest Funny Creation 
The Rocket Book 
A new Peter Newell book is a new joy for both young and old. In this new book 
the mischievous son of the janitor sets off a sky-rocket in the basement of an apart¬ 
ment house. The rocket merrily pops up through the floor of the first flat, boring a 
neat hole through the center of the dinner table. In the second flat it awakens grandpa 
by carrying off his wig in its joyous flight. On and on it goes through bathtubs and 
many other adventures to the top floor, where it starts through an ice-cream freezer. 
But, alas, the ice is too cold, and the rocket’s career is ended. There are twenty-two 
full-page pictures, printed in four combinations of colors, and each scene is described 
in verses by Mr. Newell.

The Crime of 1812 
By Eugene Labaume 
With introduction by the late W. T. Stead 
A graphic and stirring narrative of Napoleon’s Russian Campaign of 1812, by a 
lieutenant-colonel in the French army who writes as an eye-witness. Labaume 
went through the campaign from first to last, and his book describes one of the 
greatest disasters that has ever befallen a powerful nation. The awful scenes of 
the burning of Moscow, Napoleon’s retreat from that city, and many other intense 
incidents are related with faithful attention to detail and human interest. It is 
a startling indictment of the ambition of the General who is called great. 
Colonel Labaume’s narrative is remarkable. It is full of graphic pen pictures of men and places . . . 
written with literary craftsmanship as well as with the force that comes from “actual experience.”— N.Y.Times.
