FICTION
Each, cloth, $1.50
Mariella, of Out-West
"The picture is clear, well balanced, and informing, and best of all, the story is at all times the prime affair, and . . . becomes more con- densed, pungent, and direct, and in every way more absorbing and vital." - Boston Herald.
" It is told with such grim fidelity that at times it fairly clutches the heart. ... The story, while touching, is never depressing."- Cleveland Leader.
From the Land of the Snow Pearls
" When it is said that not one story is poor or ineffective, the reader may get some idea of the rare quality of this new author's talent." - The Chronicle, San Francisco.
A Forest Orchid and Other Stories
" Her touch is firm and clear; what she sees she sees vividly, and describes in direct, sincere English; of what she feels she can give an equally lucid report." - The Tribune, New York.
POEMS Each, cloth, $1.25 net; by mail, $1.35
When the Birds go North Again

In the Heart of the Canadian Rockies
By JAMES OUTRAM
With maps and forty-six illustrations, reproduced from photographs. Cloth, imperial 8vo, gilt top, $2.50 net
"There is an unexpected freshness in the whole treatment, a vigor of movement in the narrative, and a brilliancy of touch in the drawing that are altogether exceptional. No one, we think, will be able to read this work without forming a strong desire to visit the Canadian Rockies, and the admirable photographs which have been used in the illustra- tions will strengthen that desire." - Church Standard.
" An invaluable guide in laying out a trip in a section of Canada which is bound to be overrun with tourists one of these days. The traveller may then take the book along with him, and if he does not want to find the way up Assiniboine, he can sit on the piazza of the Banff Hotel and read about it; if he has not the energy to climb Lefroy or tramp to the Valley of Ten Peaks, he can read about that also as he contemplates from the Lake Louise chalet one of the most beautiful views on earth; if the long Yoho Valley trip is too much for him, he can enjoy Mr. Outram's description the while he looks out on Emerald Lake from another chalet, and similarly he may learn about the sources of the Saskatchewan, the Ottertail group, and Mt. Stephen without stirring from the hostelry at Field. Mr. Outram goes thoroughly into the history of the exploration of the Canadian Rockies, incidentally telling all about the death of young Abbot - the one tragedy of this new haunt of the mountain-climber." - Town and Country.

MR. LUCAS'S BOOKS OF TRAVEL
A Wanderer in Holland
" Mr. Lucas assures us that Holland is one of the most delightful coun- tries to move about in, everything that happens in it being of interest. He fully proves his statement, and we close his book with the convic- tion that we shall never find there a more agreeable guide than he. For he is a man of taste and culture, who has apparently preserved all the zest of youth for things beautiful, touching, quaint, or humorous, - especially humorous, - and his own unaffected enjoyment gives to his pages a most endearing freshness and sparkle. . .. In short, the book is a charming one." - New York Tribune.
With 20 illustrations in color by Herbert Marshall and 34 illustrations after "Dutch Old Masters." Cloth, $2.00 net
A Wanderer in London
" We have met with few books of the sort so readable throughout. It is a book that may be opened at any place and read with pleasure by readers who have seen London, and those who have not will want to see it after reading the book of one who knows it so well." - New York Evening Sun.
