Part 8

All I do know is what the landlord tells me, and that is that at 5 A.M. thirteen cabs containing thirteen sleeping souls pursued their thirteen devious ways to thirteen different houses, thus indicating that the Dreamers were ultimately adjourned, and, as they have not met since, I presume the adjournment was, as usual, _sine die_.

BY FRANK R. STOCKTON

THE ASSOCIATE HERMITS. A Novel. Illustrated by A. B. Frost. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1.50.

If there is a more droll or more delightful writer now living than Mr. Frank R. Stockton we should be slow to make his acquaintance, on the ground that the limit of safety might be passed.... Mr. Stockton's humor asserts itself admirably, and the story is altogether enjoyable.--_Independent._

The interest never flags, and there is nothing intermittent about the sparkling humor.--_Philadelphia Press._

THE GREAT STONE OF SARDIS. A Novel. Illustrated by PETER NEWELL. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1.50.

The scene of Mr. Stockton's novel is laid in the twentieth century, which is imagined as the culmination of our era of science and invention. The main episodes are a journey to the centre of the earth by means of a pit bored by an automatic cartridge, and a journey to the North Pole beneath the ice of the Polar Seas. These adventures Mr. Stockton describes with such simplicity and conviction that the reader is apt to take the story in all seriousness until he suddenly runs into some gigantic pleasantry of the kind that was unknown before Mr. Stockton began writing, and realizes that the novel is a grave and elaborate bit of fooling, based upon the scientific fads of the day. The book is richly illustrated by Peter Newell, the one artist of modern times who is suited to interpret Mr. Stockton's characters and situations.
