The Little Lady of the Big House BY JACK LONDON Author of "The Star Rover," "The Call of the Wild," Price, $1.50 In this story of a woman whose life is shaped by a great love, Mr. London adds at least three characters to his already notable list of literary portraits — Dick Forrest, master of broad acres, a man of intellect, training and wealth; Paula, his wife, young, attractive, bound up in her husband and his affairs; and Evan Graham, traveled, of easy manners and ingratiating personality, a sort of Prince Charming. The problem comes with Graham's entrance into the Forrest family circle and it is a problem that must be solved.

The Shepherd of the North BY RICHARD AUMERLE MAHER Price, $1.35 A big-brained, big-hearted American Bishop is the hero of this book. In the story of his daily ministrations among the people of the Adirondack country and particularly of the part that he plays in the fight that is waged against an encroaching railroad, the author has a theme which reveals a beautiful character and is at the same time intensely dramatic. The climax of it all is reached with a forest fire, which is described in passages of power and vividness. Incidentally there is introduced into the plot a matter of honor which serves to increase the suspense and in the solution of which the novelist exhibits not a little ingenuity.
