"Bound to be one of the most popular novels
of the year"

THE WIVING OF
LANCE CLEAVERAGE
BY ALICE MACGOWAN
Author of "JUDITH OF THE CUMBERLANDS."
" RETURN," " LAST WORD," ETC.

By its stirring dramatic appeal, its varied interest, its skilful artistry, Miss MacGowan's new Tennessee mountain story marks a long step in advance of her earlier novels. It is an interesting company that is brought together in this book — notably the proud high-spirited mountain beauty who is the heroine, and the bold and fiery young hero, who will surely stand high in the good graces of readers of the tale — and a company of distinct types drawn with a graphic and spirited hand, a company moved by strong passions — love, and hate too, green jealousy and black revenge.
