CONSTANCE TRESCOT

"Dr. Mitchell has in this book achieved a success beyond that of any of his other works." This latest book by the author of "Hugh Wynne" is a very wonderful story of a woman's vendetta, the scene being laid in the South just after the Civil War. "Constance Trescot" is one of the most impressive and individual figures in modern fiction, and the situation created through the development of her chief characteristic has been scarcely equalled in all literature. $1.50.

THE FUGITIVE BLACKSMITH

An absolutely unique and original story, full of humor and of real life, - the most "human" book that has appeared in years. The writer, Charles D. Stewart, has been a rover, a blacksmith, a riverman, a sheep-herder, a photo-engraver - and now he is an author. The New York Evening Post says, "It will be hard to match the humor outside of Huckleberry Finn' and 'The Pickwick Papers.'
