TWO GREAT FEATURES of the JUNE MCCLURE'S

The opening installment of a new novel by the Author of
"The Gentleman from Indiana" and "Monsieur Beaucaire,
BOOTH TARKINGTON

BOOTH TARKINGTON,

This new novel rings with the same fresh romantic note and displays the same rare gift of dramatic construction that made his other works immediate successes and keep them in demand to-day. The new story by Mr. Tarkington is a beautiful and

Romantic Love Story

dealing with life in Indiana at the time of the Mexican War. It was a period of simple culture and much joy of life, when the rigors of the ruder pioneer life had passed away and the people were still untouched by the progressive commercial spirit that came with the railroads. Love is the main theme-an ideal love which might have existed anywhere and at any time, but which is the more interesting because it comes out at a characteristic American period and in a time that, though recent, has passed away and has never before been so beautifully portrayed. With Illustrations by Henry Hutt.

MISS STONE

will continue her account of her Life Among the Brigands. The life of these women-MISS STONE and MADAME TSILKA-during those terrible six months, in peril from the brigands, pursued among the mountains by soldiers, living in the open air in midwinter, constantly threatened with death in many forms, called for a fortitude and heroism almost unparalleled. MADAME TSILKA'S own story of her baby is written with the same wonderful simplicity and truthfulness that characterize Miss Stone's. Mr. Baker wrote in a recent letter to us: "Every detail, the very slightest incident of her (Madame Tsilka) terrible experience seems to have been burned into her brain; she simply can't help getting her feeling down on paper. Indeed she has told it with such astonishing fidelity-perhaps an impossible frankness-that the very mother's heart seems to cry out of it with a bitterness that cannot be described."
