HARPER'S

THE NE'ER-DO-WELL

By Rex Beach

"Rex Beach's best book. . . . Will do more to make the public appreciate the magnificence of the Canal work than anything hitherto published."-San Francisco Bulletin. "Excitement at full speed; a narration witching enough to make readers forget engagements and the time o' the clock."-Boston Globe.

"Sure to be one of the widely popular romances of the season."—Chicago RecordHerald. Post Svo, Cloth, $1.25 net

JANE
DAWSON

By Will N. Harben

The story of Jane Dawson-injured in her youth by a rich man, who lives to match son versus son with him-is something fine and big and new. The typical Georgia rural community is here in all its picturesqueness and charm. It will be remembered that William Dean Howells has called Mr. Harben "one of our few great American localists." This story of the heart is also one of that rare kind in which religious sentiment is a real human factor.

THE
PRETENDER
PERSON

By Margaret Cameron

The author has brought together a jolly group of charming people-men and women, old and young. Their flirtations and serious love affairs, begun on board ship and continued in the tropics, result in delightfully humorous complications. The charm and spell of Mexico, seen through all sorts of American and native eyes, is almost as rich in interest as the story itself.

HEART AND CHART

By Margarita Spalding Gerry

This story of the love and the life of a trained nurse is full of the sweetness of pity, sympathy, and humor, with far more of heart than chart in its pages. Not only the naval hero, who has saved a comrade with danger to his own life and mind, but the frail woman who struggles so courageously against habit, wins our ungrudging admiration, and there is much humor too.

THE FAIR IRISH MAID

By Justin Huntly McCarthy

A tale laid in the eventful days of the second decade of the nineteenth century, when the name of Bonaparte was the bogey of Europe. The heroine is a beautiful Irish girl, the impoverished descendant of an ancient Irish house, who is suddenly lifted, by the will of an Irish-American relative, from the depth of poverty to the height of wealth.

THE IRON WOMAN

By Margaret Deland

When a book has been out a month or so it is customary to advertise it by printing the kind things that critics have said. But "The Iron Woman" presents a new problem in publishing and advertising. The flood of praise is already beyond all usual bounds. In fact, it is difficult to quote what the great critics say of this wonderful novel and still keep within the bounds of self-restraint. The praise is so overwhelming, so spontaneous, so universal, so extravagant. Not only the novel of the year, but the book of many years."

ADRIAN SAVAGE | JENNIE GERHARDT

By Lucas Malet

This new novel reveals the author of "Sir Richard Calmady" at the height of her power. Savage is a distinguished young man of letters, the son of an English father and a French mother. He is ardently in love with a young and bewitching Frenchwoman. An English girl, lacking beauty and charm, awakens Adrian's innate chivalry, and Savage is placed in the awkward position of declining a lady's unspoken love.

By Theodore Dreiser

"Jennie Gerhardt" is a book we believe in. We believe it possesses those qualities of sincerity, of simplicity, of vital passion, and above all of eternal sympathy and interest which set it apart. The author has given years of his life to its making, and the result is a work rare and unusual. H. L. Mencken writes in the Smart Set: "By long odds the most impressive work of art that we have yet to show in prose fiction."

THE NINE-TENTHS

By James Oppenheim

The story of a big human-humorous man, who, as the result of a fire in his factory which causes the death of working girls, is swept into the underworld, where the woman he loves cannot follow him. How the undercurrents of the city form these two is unfolded in a drama of stirring episodes. The Boston Herald says: "One finds one's self in the grip of a man who has not only a story to tell, but knows how to tell it."

MISS GIBBIE GAULT Kate Langley Bosher

"To read a book like this is like taking a sun-bath."-Boston Herald. "This novel is of such pure-gold quality that it recalls the best tales that Miss Alcott has left us to make the world better."-Portland Oregonian. "Like 'Mary Cary' this book stands for the winning power of love."-New Orleans Picayune. Here is Mary Cary, but most of the characters are new. Gibbie Gault herself, linked to Mary Cary's destiny, is one woman in a thousand. Gibbie Gault's greatness of heart and quickness of temper, Mary Cary's sly but effective entry into Yorkburg's many interests, the Needlework Guild-the hundreds of incidents of Mary Cary's new life-and especially the One Great Interest-make this a story to read and to love.

SERVING THE REPUBLIC

By Gen. Nelson A. Miles

This is both an addition to history and a colorful story of a man's struggles and responsibilities. The part of the story dealing with the Civil War is only second in importance to such memoirs as those of Grant and Sherman. General Miles took part in many of its bloodiest battles. He was four times wounded, twice almost fatally, and he tells "how it feels to be shot." The narrative continues with General Miles's Western experiences with the Indians, the rescue of the Germaine girl and Custer's massacre.

SPIRITISM AND PSYCHOLOGY By Theodore Flournoy

Translated by HEREWARD CARRINGTON

About once every ten years a really good book upon psychics is published—a book, that is, which is epoch-making. Professor Flournoy's previous book ("From India to the Planet Mars") was one, and the present volume is another. The book shows the results of an extensive inquiry into alleged supernormal facts from the psychologist's point of view and of the subjects who experienced them. Mr. Carrington has contributed valuable foot-notes.

TH

HE annals of historical literature record no more brilliant and masterful piece of writing than Woodrow Wilson's epochmaking work in five volumes-A History of the American People. Governor Wilson has devoted the best years of his life to the preparation of this great work. It is monumental in character and scope, and represents the genius of the greatest historical writer of the present time. It is written in that delightful, flowing style which translates historical facts into the romance of a nation.

In the matter of illustration every field of human activity has been searched, and hundreds of new portraits, prints, maps in color, plans,

and pictures make the pictorial features alone tell their wonderful story of the birth and growth of what is now the United States.

The five large octavo volumes are printed on special paper and splendidly bound in dark-blue cloth with gold lettering.
