By ALEXANDRE DUMAS.
"The King's Gallant" is deserving of
recognition, in that it is not only a
novelization of the earliest of Dumas' plays,
but it marks a distinct triumph in his career.
If this production is full of the rushing
vigor of youth, it is because its celebrated
author was but a youth when he penned it,
yet it was the stepping stone which led to
that upward flight wherein he was speedily
hailed as the "Wizard of Fiction."
It is a volume full of action with a strong
plot and a truly masterful deliniation of
character.
12mo. Cloth.
Price, $1.00.

THE STORY OF A HOPELESS LOVE.
Tons of Treasure
By WILLIAM HENRY BISHOP.
_Author of_ "DETMOLD."
When two women love one man there is
usually trouble brewing. Nor is the story
which Mr. Bishop has to tell an exception.
His hero is a manly New Yorker, who is fired
with a zeal to "make good" a defalcation
accredited to his dead father.
In quest of gold he visits Mexico and
there meets a dreamy-eyed maid who
straightway gives him first place in her
heart. But an American girl has already
won his love. It is a pathetic situation and
if one true woman's heart breaks before the
man's mission is ended who is to blame?
There are many touching incidents in the
book, but none more full of pathos than
when the woman who loves bares her soul
to the woman who is loved.
12mo., Cloth.

A BOOK FULL OF 'HUMAN' INTEREST
QUEER PEOPLE
By WILLIAM HENRY BISHOP.
_Author of_ "DETMOLD."
Not one story, but a number of charming
storyettes, terse, snappy and absorbingly
interesting.
There is a delightful pen sketch of a
woman of small means who aspires to
a connection with the smart set. Her attempts
to disguise the true state of affairs from
her out-of-town friends are laughable; but
the fun becomes tinged with pathos when she
borrows a furnished mansion for an evening,
and a rich relative, invited to dine with
her, uncloaks the pitiable fraud.
