The Mutiny of the Elsinore

By JACK LONDON, Author of "The Sea Wolf," "The Call of the Wild," etc.

With frontispiece in colors by Anton Fischer.

Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net.

Everyone who remembers The Sea Wolf with pleasure will enjoy this vigorous narrative of a voyage from New York around Cape Horn in a large sailing vessel. The Mutiny of the Elsinore is the same kind of tale as its famous predecessor, and by those who have read it, it is pronounced even more stirring. Mr. London is here writing of scenes and types of people with which he is very familiar, the sea and ships and those who live in ships. In addition to the adventure element, of which there is an abundance of the usual London kind, a most satisfying kind it is, too, there is a thread of romance involving a wealthy, tired young man who takes the trip on the Elsinore, and the captain's daughter. The play of incident, on the one hand the ship's amazing crew and on the other the lovers, gives a story in which the interest never lags and which demonstrates anew what a master of his art Mr. London is.

Saturday's Child

By KATHLEEN NORRIS, Author of "Mother," "The Treasure," etc.

With frontispiece in colors, by F. Graham Cootes.

Decorated cloth, 12mo. $1.50 net.

"Friday's child is loving and giving, Saturday's child must work for her living."

The title of Mrs. Norris's new novel at once indicates its theme. It is the life story of a girl who has her own way to make in the world. The various experiences through which she passes, the various viewpoints which she holds until she comes finally to realize that service for others is the only thing that counts, are told with that same intimate knowledge of character, that healthy optimism and the belief in the ultimate goodness of mankind that have distinguished all of this author's writing. The book is intensely alive with human emotions. The reader is bound to sympathize with Mrs. Norris's people because they seem like real people and because they are actuated by motives which one is able to understand. Saturday's Child is Mrs. Norris's longest work. Into it has gone the very best of her creative talent. It is a volume which the many admirers of Mother will gladly accept.

By ZONA GALE, Author of "Friendship Village," "The Love of Pelleas and Etarre," etc.

In Neighborhood Stories Miss Gale has a book after her own heart, a book which, with its intimate stories of real folks, is not unlike Friendship Village. Miss Gale has humor; she has lightness of touch; she has, above all, a keen appreciation of human nature. These qualities are reflected in the new volume. Miss Gale's audience, moreover, is a constantly increasing one. To it her beautiful little holiday novel, Christmas, added many admirers. Neighborhood Stories will not only keep these, but is certain to attract many more as well.
