A Big Emotional American Novel
Illustrated by W. B. King. $1.35 net.
A story saturated with reality which is destined to be one of the most widely read of novels. John Hampstead, the sorely tempted but always lovable hero, is a man of intense virility—first as a stenographer, then as an actor and finally as the pastor of an abandoned chapel. His life is complicated by two women; one a beautiful actress and the other a blue-eyed schoolgirl.
In spirit the book is sound and sweet as a ripe apple, and it grips the attention like a promise of good fortune.—Chicago Herald.
Those who like Hall Caine will take Mr. Macfarlane to their hearts.—New York Tribune.
Will hold the reader in a grip of excitement from cover to cover.—New York Evening Sun.
In "Held to Answer" we have what is optimistically called "a big, emotional American novel." There is no denying the truthful application of these adjectives. It is big, it is emotional, it is undeniably American.—Boston Transcript.

The Latest Oppenheim Offering
Illustrated by Will Grefé. $1.30 net.
When Joseph H. Bundercombe, a wealthy American, came to England with his daughter Eve, he was not content to be an ordinary tourist. An inveterate reader of detective stories, he found amusement instead in going about under an assumed name, making use of disguises, consorting with criminals, and getting himself watched by Scotland Yard. He was assisted in his exploits by his daughter and a young Englishman of excellent family who did not at all approve of Mr. Bundercombe's conduct, but was led to assist because he had fallen in love with Eve. And wherever Mr. Bundercombe went something was sure to happen; jewels disappeared, money was stolen, or there was cheating at cards; and yet he always kept clear of anything more than being under suspicion, had plenty of excitement and invariably turned to some worthy purpose the fruits of his shady efforts. Bundercombe is one of Mr. Oppenheim's masterly character creations, and his adventures will appeal to all lovers of the Oppenheim type of fiction.
