The Story of a Man’s Triumph over the Flesh
THE WOOD-CARVER OF
’LYMPUS
By MARY E. WALLER, author of “A Daughter of the
Rich,” etc. Illustrated. 12 mo. $1.50
The hero of Miss Waller’s new story is one of the most powerful and original characters portrayed in recent fiction. Hugh Armstrong, used to a busy out-of-door life, in felling a tree meets with an accident and loses the use of his limbs. At first he finds it impossible to adjust himself to his shut-in life, but a friend suggests wood-carving to him. Through work and love a great change comes over him, and the author has portrayed to us in a powerful manner Armstrong’s salvation. The scenes are laid in the Green Mountains of Vermont.
A New Novel of Present-Day Virginia Life
WHERE
THE TIDE COMES IN
By LUCY MEACHAM THRUSTON, author of “Mistress
Brent,” “A Girl of Virginia,” etc. Illustrated.
12 mo. $1.50
In her new story Mrs. Thruston portrays a heroine as charming as her delightful “Girl of Virginia.” The scenes of the novel are laid at Norfolk and Portsmouth, and the vicissitudes of the Southern vegetable farmer, who depends on the irrepressible negro, are strongly pictured. The novel is a genuine love-story with a touch of politics, and the Southern atmosphere is delightfully unhackneyed.
