The Blunders of a Bashful Man Part 28

The Most Popular Book In

America To-Day

--IS--

"ST. ELMO,"

--BY--

AUGUSTA J. EVANS,

[Ill.u.s.tration]

The history of this Book is remarkable. It was first published nearly 45 years ago, and met with a fair measure of success; but it was not until within the last three years that it achieved special prominence, since which time over half a million copies have been sold.

It is hard to account for this wonderful jump into popularity at the present time, except for the fact that the story is one of real merit, and is now doubly recognized as such. It is a mark of signal distinction for the author, to think that she wrote a story so much ahead of the times.

The story is founded upon the never-old theme of love--the pure love of a good woman--and shows the wonders that can be accomplished with and through it, even to the extent of the reclamation of an extremely talented and extraordinary man having a predilection for evil and sin.

No story written in years has aroused the discussion that this book has.

Can you afford to miss it?

Do you want to keep abreast of the times, and read what other people are talking about? Then buy and read "ST. ELMO."

The book contains 440 pages, bound in paper cover. For sale by booksellers and newsdealers everywhere, or sent by mail, postpaid, upon receipt of price, 25 CENTS.

In this astounding story of unparalleled interest, we see the sinister figure of FATE stalk deviously but relentlessly through the mystifying mazes of love, devotion, intrigue, cunning, cruelty and crime, until a conscienceless fiend, in human shape, lies prostrate in death, overwhelmed by the ruthless forces of his own creating.

Right, truth, justice and love dashed to earth by desperate villainy and inconceivable cunning, finally triumph in the face of crimes that crush, and difficulties that overwhelm.
