 A STORY OF A CORNER IN LARD

By HENRY KITCHELL WEBSTER

One of the Authors of "The Short-Line War"

16mo. Cloth. $1.50

"There is a love affair of real charm and most novel surroundings; there is a run on the bank which is almost worth a year's growth, and there is a spy and a villain and all manner of exhilarating men and deeds, which should bring the book into high favor."—Chicago Evening Post.

"An exciting and absorbing story." —New York Times' Saturday Review.

"A most fascinating book."—Times-Herald, Chicago.

"But after the glamour of events has worn away... its real literary merit will assert itself."—Chicago Tribune.

"Mr. Webster has worked out a clever and interesting story, which, in a measure, is real, for the events he describes have all happened, and doubtless will frequently happen again in a like combination. The tale is not entirely one of finance, for there is a feminine interest as well, and a dainty little love romance, which is brought to a happy conclusion."—Toledo Blade.

"Mr. Webster tells a plain story in plain words, adducing no adventitious aids; it is a good story, well told and worth reading, but without frills. This is one of the few novels of the year which every man with blood in his veins will enjoy. It will prove an unfailing resource in the event of a rainy day at the seashore or the mountains. Through it all runs a delightful love story."—Boston Herald.
