Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Main Chance "Well, sir, they say I'm crooked!" William Porter tipped back his swivel chair and placidly puffed a cigar as he watched the effect of this declaration on the young man who sat talking to him. "That's said of every successful man nowadays, isn't it?" asked John Saxton. The president of the Clarkson National Bank ignored the question and rolled his cigar from one side of his mouth to the other, as he waited for his words to make their full impression upon his visitor. "They say I'm crooked," he repeated, with a narrowing of the eyes, "but they don't say it very loud!" Porter kicked his heels together gently and watched his visitor with eyes in which there was no trace of humor; but Saxton saw' that he was expected to laugh. "No, sir;" the banker continued, "they don't say it very loud, and I guess they don't any of them want to have to prove it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Winning Chance The door of the inner office of Varek & Co., Stockbrokers, had opened so quietly that Leo Varek had not heard it, but the click of the typewriters and ticker in the outer office smote his ear more sharply, and he looked up. A young girl had come timidly forward to his desk, and when he lifted his head he met directly her troubled and more than half frightened gaze. "This is Mr. Varek?" she asked, hesitatingly. "I have a note for you from Mr. Calvin Bronson." She reached across to him the paper, but while he took it his sharp eyes did not leave her face. Then he glanced at the envelope. "Bronson," he said in a puzzled way; then whirling round in his chair and pointing to one near him, "Sit down, please." The girl obeyed, eying him anxiously as she sat, one hand tightly holding the other in her lap. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Partners of Chance Little jim knew that something strange had happened, because Big Jim, his father, had sold their few head of cattle, the work team, and the farm implements, keeping only the two saddle horses and the pack-horse, Filaree. When Little Jim asked where his mother had gone, Big Jim told him that she had gone on a Visit, and would be away a long time. Little Jim wanted to know if his mother would ever come back. When Big Jim said that she would not, Little Jim manfully suppressed his tears, and, being of that frontier stock that always has an eye to the main chance, he thrust out his hand. Well, I'll stick with you, dad. I reckon we can make the grade. Big Jim turned away and stood for a long time gazing out of the cabin window toward town. Presently he felt a tug at his coat-sleeve.

But while the law enforcement agent and the reformed criminal want to make things work, their differences may run too deep…unless they take a chance on each other and find that deep and mysterious bond that belongs to those who choose love over fear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Winds of Chance Lucky Broad's three-legged table stood among some stumps beside the muddy roadway which did service as the main street of Dyea and along which flowed an irregular stream of pedestrians; incidental to his practised manipulation of the polished walnut-shells he maintained an unceasing chatter of the sort above set down. Now his voice was loud and challenging, now it was apolo getic, always it stimulated curiosity. One mo ment he was jubilant and gay, agam he was contrite and querulous. Occasionally he burst forth into plaintive self-denunciations. Fixing a hypnotic gaze upon a bland, blue eyed bystander who had just joined the charmed circle, he murmured, invitingly: Better try your luck, Olaf.
