MOONBLIGHT

AND SIX FEET OF ROMANCE

With Fifty Pictures by the Author

In this story a coal-mine owner, by the help of a curious old book of "black magic," becomes strangely endowed with the power of seeing things as they really are.

In the light of his new-found power of vision he studies the social conditions which environ him. He attempts, by means of a scientifically ideal restitution, to correct the injustice of the system the logical operation of which has made him a multi-millionaire at the expense of his fellow-men. This attempt is the indirect cause of a great strike, involving all the mines, in the telling of which the human side of the economic problem of the ages is brought home to the reader with a power possible only to a gifted writer who is likewise a gifted artist.

Dull-surfaced all-rag paper, hand-sewed, 254 pages. With an introductory study by Mr. Louis F. POST, editor of The Public, of Chicago; and an appendix. Price, $1 25 NET. Postage, 10 cents.
