NEW FALL FICTION, 1909


"IT is a cloth-bound book, printed in good type on light-weight pap«r, and is sold for 75 cents. The innovation seems to us the most sensible that could be made. 'The Woman and the Sword' was an admirable book with which to inaugurate the new policy, for it is neither commonplace in workmanship nor negligible in material. The story in laid in England and Germany during the religious wars of the latter country, when the oppressions of the Emperor Ferdinand were resisted by Calvinist and Lutheran."—New York Times

With colored frontispiece, cloth with colored inset. 12mo. 75 cents

"It's a pretty tale, redolent of wholesome romance, as a field of shamrocks on a shining spring morning. For each reader of 'The Day's Journey,' probably the new book will number twenty."—Chicago Record-Herald.


THE Master of Life was the god of the Iroquois Indians and dwelt beneath the waters of the St. Lawrence River. His inspiration led Hiawatha to found the famous League of the Five Nations. The Indians of the story are town builders, lovers of peace for the most part, imbued with a deep poetic strain, and worshippers of nature. The story is full of vigorous action and may be described as a romance of the Iroquois soul.
