The House of the Black Ring

By FRED. LEWIS PATTEE. $1.50

A story oddly combining humor and horror. It tells of the squire, a sort of feudal lord, his enemies, his fate and of his daughter and how she would have her way in love. The weird influence of The House of the Black Ring dominates the little "pocket" in the Seven Mountains of Pennsylvania.

The Washington Star: "An unusual combination of the weird and the humorous absorbing and often thrilling tale A forest fire  is a dramatic episode which does Mr. Pattee exceptional credit in the restraint of his treatment and the effectiveness of his climaxes."

N. Y. Evening Sun: "An interesting story piques the reader's curiosity and keeps him reading till the mystery is solved."

Red-Headed Gill

By RYE OWEN. 4th printing. $1.50

Red-Headed Gill is a splendid young country gentlewoman of Cornwall. Under a weird East Indian influence she is forced to live over again part of the life of a beauty of the days of Queen Bess—the famous Gill Red-Head.

New York Sun: "A charming girl whom the reader will watch with interest to the end. The author manages to transport her back into the life of her Tudor ancestress over and again naturally, and with great effect."

New York Times Review: "There is much originality in the plot. The reader's attention is at once enlisted, and is not allowed to flag."

In the Dwellings of the Wilderness

By C. BRYSON TAYLOR. $1.25

A ghost story so plausibly told that many may, like one of the chief characters, think it might all be explained by natural causes after all. It tells the astonishing adventures of three American engineers, excavating in the heart of an Egyptian desert.

Boston Transcript: "The impression on the reader is so strong that he finds his grip on the book grow strained in spite of himself."

N. Y. Globe: "Strikes a note of weird horror, and sustains that note page after page A vividness that makes it difficult to banish the picture from your memory for many a day."
