^THE HARVESTER^
Illustrated by W. L. Jacobs
“The Harvester,” David Langston, is a man of the woods and fields,
who draws his living from the prodigal hand of Mother Nature
herself. If the book had nothing in it but the splendid figure of
this man, with his sure grip on life, his superb optimism, and his
almost miraculous knowledge of nature secrets, it would be notable.
But when the Girl comes to his “Medicine Woods,” and the Harvester’s
whole sound, healthy, large outdoor being realizes that this is the
highest point of life which has come to him--there begins a romance,
troubled and interrupted, yet of the rarest idyllic quality.
^FRECKLES.^ Decorations by E. Stetson Crawford
Freckles is a nameless waif when the tale opens, but the way in
which he takes hold of life; the nature friendships he forms in the
great Limberlost Swamp; the manner in which everyone who meets him
succumbs to the charm of his engaging personality; and his
love-story with “The Angel” are full of real sentiment.
^A GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST.^
Illustrated by Wladyslaw T. Brenda.
The story of a girl of the Michigan woods; a buoyant, lovable type
of the self-reliant American. Her philosophy is one of love and
kindness towards all things; her hope is never dimmed. And by the
sheer beauty of her soul, and the purity of her vision, she wins
from barren and unpromising surroundings those rewards of high
courage.
It is an inspiring story of a life worth while and the rich beauties
of the out-of-doors are strewn through all its pages.
^AT THE FOOT OF THE RAINBOW.^
Illustrations in colors by Oliver Kemp. Design and decorations by
Ralph Fletcher Seymour.
The scene of this charming, idyllic love story is laid in Central
Indiana. The story is one of devoted friendship, and tender
self-sacrificing love; the friendship that gives freely without
return, and the love that seeks first the happiness of the object.
The novel is brimful of the most beautiful word painting of nature,
and its pathos and tender sentiment will endear it to all.

^LAVENDER AND OLD LACE.^
A charming story of a quaint corner of New England where bygone
romance finds a modern parallel. The story centers round the coming
of love to the young people on the staff of a newspaper--and it is
one of the prettiest, sweetest and quaintest of old fashioned love
stories, * * * a rare book, exquisite in spirit and conception, full
of delicate fancy, of tenderness, of delightful humor and
spontaniety.
^A SPINNER IN THE SUN.^
Miss Myrtle Reed may always be depended upon to write a story in
which poetry, charm, tenderness and humor are combined into a clever
and entertaining book. Her characters are delightful and she always
displays a quaint humor of expression and a quiet feeling of pathos
which give a touch of active realism to all her writings. In
“A Spinner in the Sun” she tells an old-fashioned love story, of a
veiled lady who lives in solitude and whose features her neighbors
have never seen. There is a mystery at the heart of the book that
throws over it the glamour of romance.
^THE MASTER’S VIOLIN,^
A love story in a musical atmosphere. A picturesque, old German
virtuoso is the reverent possessor of a genuine “Cremona.” He
consents to take for his pupil a handsome youth who proves to have
an aptitude for technique, but not the soul of an artist. The youth
has led the happy, careless life of a modern, well-to-do young
American and he cannot, with his meagre past, express the love, the
passion and the tragedies of life and all its happy phases as can
the master who has lived life in all its fulness. But a girl comes
into his life--a beautiful bit of human driftwood that his aunt had
taken into her heart and home, and through his passionate love for
her, he learns the lessons that life has to give--and his soul
awakes.
Founded on a fact that all artists realize.

^THE BOW OF ORANGE RIBBON.^ With Frontispiece.
This exquisite little romance opens in New York City in “the tender
grace” of a May day long past, when the old Dutch families clustered
around Bowling Green. It is the beginning of the romance of
Katherine, a young Dutch girl who has sent, as a love token, to a
young English officer, the bow of orange ribbon which she has worn
for years as a sacred emblem on the day of St. Nicholas. After the
bow of ribbon Katherine’s heart soon flies. Unlike her sister,
whose heart has found a safe resting place among her own people,
Katherine’s heart must rove from home--must know to the utmost all
that life holds of both joy and sorrow. And so she goes beyond the
seas, leaving her parents as desolate as were Isaac and Rebecca of
old.
^THE MAID OF MAIDEN LANE;^ A Love Story. With Illustrations by
S. M. Arthur.
A sequel to “The Bow of Orange Ribbon.” The time is the gracious
days of Seventeen-hundred and ninety-one, when “The Marseillaise”
was sung with the American national airs, and the spirit affected
commerce, politics and conversation. In the midst of this period the
romance of “The Sweetest Maid in Maiden Lane” unfolds. Its chief
charm lies in its historic and local color.
^SHEILA VEDDER.^ Frontispiece in colors by Harrison Fisher.
A love story set in the Shetland Islands.
Among the simple, homely folk who dwelt there Jan Vedder was raised;
and to this island came lovely Sheila Jarrow. Jan knew, when first
he beheld her, that she was the one woman in all the world for him,
and to the winning of her love he set himself. The long days of
summer by the sea, the nights under the marvelously soft radiance of
Shetland moonlight passed in love-making, while with wonderment the
man and woman, alien in traditions, adjusted themselves to each
other. And the day came when Jan and Sheila wed, and then a sweeter
love story is told.
^TRINITY BELLS.^ With eight Illustrations by C. M. Relyea.
The story centers around the life of little Katryntje Van Clyffe,
who, on her return home from a fashionable boarding school, faces
poverty and heartache. Stout of heart, she does not permit herself
to become discouraged even at the news of the loss of her father and
his ship “The Golden Victory.” The story of Katryntje’s life was
interwoven with the music of the Trinity Bells which eventually
heralded her wedding day.

STORIES OF THE KENTUCKY MOUNTAINS
#May be had wherever books are sold. Ask for Grosset and Dunlap’s
list.#
^THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE.^
Illustrated by F. C. Yohn.
The “lonesome pine” from which the story takes its name was a tall
tree that stood in solitary splendor on a mountain top. The fame of
the pine lured a young engineer through Kentucky to catch the trail,
and when he finally climbed to its shelter he found not only the
pine but the _foot-prints of a girl_. And the girl proved to be
lovely, piquant, and the trail of these girlish foot-prints led the
young engineer a madder chase than “the trail of the lonesome pine.”
^THE LITTLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME^
Illustrated by F. C. Yohn.
This is a story of Kentucky, in a settlement known as “Kingdom
Come.” It is a life rude, semi-barbarous; but natural and honest,
from which often springs the flower of civilization.
“Chad.” the “little shepherd” did not know who he was nor whence he
came--he had just wandered from door to door since early childhood,
seeking shelter with kindly mountaineers who gladly fathered and
mothered this waif about whom there was such a mystery--a charming
waif, by the way, who could play the banjo better that anyone else
in the mountains.
^A KNIGHT OF THE CUMBERLAND.^
Illustrated by F. C. Yohn.
The scenes are laid along the waters of the Cumberland, the lair of
moonshiner and feudsman. The knight is a moonshiner’s son, and the

impetuous young Southerners’ fall under the spell of “The Blight’s”
charms and she learns what a large part jealousy and pistols have in
the love making of the mountaineers.
Included in this volume is “Hell fer-Sartain” and other stories,
some of Mr. Fox’s most entertaining Cumberland valley narratives.
