We develop gooseflesh and chattering teeth in perfect sympathy with the character honored by the ghostly visitation, even though we positively refuse to believe in the class of ghosts described, which is certainly a tribute, voluntary and involuntary, to the writer.-Catholic Mirror.

The plot is ingenious, and the telling easy and full of strength. -Denver News.

while studying, to the magnetic talk and persuasiveness of sales-
men. This is the intelligent way. It's the way you planned your new
home. You made a long study of it calmly, thoroughly, and you became
quite an expert. You can be just as expert about pianos.

We are willing to send you free two books:

One officially entitled "The Book of Complete Information about Pianos."

YOU NEED THIS BOOK of 156 Pages handsomely bound, if you ever intend to buy a piano, no matter what make.

It tells how to test a piano and how to tell good from bad: what causes pianos to get out of order. It makes the selection of a piano easy. read carefully it will make you an expert judge of piano tone, of action, workmanship and of durability.

It tells everything that any one can possibly want to know about pianos; gives a description of every part of the piano, how put together and all the processes of manufacture. Gives description of the new invention for aiding learners to play called THE NOTEACCORD (endorsed by Paderewski and other great pianists). It explains Agents' and Dealers' Methods and Devices.

It tells about the very first piano,

the qualities of labor, the felt,
ivories and woods used in every
high-grade piano, and compares high
qualities with the cheaper kind (used
in inferior pianos). Describes what
constitutes a musical-piano-tone, and
in fact is a complete encyclopedia.

You need and should have THIS
EDUCATIONAL BOOK to thoroughly
inform you whenever CONFUSED
ABOUT PIANOS.

Its scores of illustrations (all de-
voted to piano construction) are not
only interesting but are instructive-
to children as well as to adults.

You will certainly learn a great
deal about pianos that you could not
hear of or read ANYWHERE ELSE,
for it is absolutely the only book of
its kind ever published. Neverthe-
less we send it free.

The other book is also copy-
righted but is a short story named

WING PIANOS

We refer to Banks, Governors of many States, and Judges; to Merchants, Conservatories of Music, Singers and Professors of Music. We have been students of vibration and of musical tone and strength of materials during all these 39 years. The first patent issued to our Mr. Wing, Senior, for improvement on pianos was in 1876, and other improvements have been invented since at the average rate of more than one yearly. These facts prove our skill and long experience, but would not be mentioned if we did not wish to show you that we know the piano subject as few others have had the opportunity; for 39 years is a long-long time for a business house to "live and learn" and constantly prosper.

over the exact and original old trail which was followed
by the forty-niners-some on foot, some in wagons, some
on horses. When you go to

you can see from the windows of The Overland Limited
the very country through which they had to fight their
way, but you cannot realize the hardships of their journey,
