Chapter XL: All's Well That Ends Well (3)

Boys who like an admixture of sport and adventure will find this book just to their taste. We promise them that they will not go to sleep over the rattling experiences of Andrew George and Roland Carter, who start on a canoe trip along the Gulf coast, from Key West to Tampa, Florida. Their first adventure is with a pair of rascals who steal their boats. Next they run into a gale in the Gulf and have a lively experience while it lasts. After that they have a lively time with alligators and divers varieties of the finny tribe. Andrew gets into trouble with a band of Seminole Indians and gets away without having his scalp raised. After this there is no lack of fun till they reach their destination. That Mr. Rathborne knows just how to interest the boys is apparent at a glance, and lads who are in search of a rare treat will do well to read this entertaining story.

+Guy Harris+: The Runaway. BY HARRY CASTLEMON. 12mo,
cloth, price $1.00.

Guy Harris lived in a small city on the shore of one of the Great Lakes. His head became filled with quixotic notions of going West to hunt grizzlies, in fact, Indians. He is persuaded to go to sea, and gets a glimpse of the rough side of life in a sailor's boarding house. He ships on a vessel and for five months leads a hard life. He deserts his ship at San Francisco and starts out to become a backwoodsman, but rough experiences soon cure him of all desire to be a hunter. At St. Louis he becomes a clerk and for a time he yields to the temptations of a great city. The book will not only interest boys generally on account of its graphic style, but will put many facts before their eyes in a new light. This is one of Castlemon's most attractive stories.

+The Train Boy.+ BY HORATIO ALGER, JR. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

Paul Palmer was a wide-awake boy of sixteen who supported his mother and sister by selling books and papers on one of the trains running between Chicago and Milwaukee. He detects a young man named Luke Denton in the act of picking the pockets of a young lady, and also incurs the enmity of his brother Stephen, a worthless follow. Luke and Stephen plot to ruin Paul, but their plans are frustrated. In a railway accident many passengers are killed, but Paul is fortunate enough to assist a Chicago merchant, who out of gratitude takes him into his employ. Paul is sent to manage a mine in Custer City and executes his commission with tact and judgment and is well started on the road to business prominence. This is one of Mr. Alger's most attractive stories and is sure to please all readers.

+Joe's Luck+: A Boy's Adventures in California. BY HORATIO
ALGER, JR. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

Without a doubt Joe Mason was a lucky boy, but he deserved the golden chances that fell to his lot, for he had the pluck and ambition to push himself to the front. Joe had but one dollar in the world when he stood despondently on the California Mail Steamship Co.'s dock in New York watching the preparations incident to the departure of the steamer. The same dollar was still Joe's entire capital when he landed in the bustling town of tents and one-story cabins--the San Francisco of '51, and inside of the week the boy was proprietor of a small restaurant earning a comfortable profit. The story is chock full of stirring incidents, while the amusing situations are furnished by Joshua Bickford, from Pumpkin Hollow, and the fellow who modestly styles himself the "Rip-tail Roarer, from Pike Co., Missouri." Mr. Alger never writes a poor book, and "Joe's Luck" is certainly one of his best.

+Three Bright Girls+: A Story of Chance and Mischance. By
ANNIE E. ARMSTRONG. With full page Illustrations by
W. PARKINSON. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

By a sudden turn of fortune's wheel the three heroines of this story are brought down from a household of lavish comfort to meet the incessant cares and worries of those who have to eke out a very limited income. And the charm of the story lies in the cheery helpfulness of spirit developed in the girls by their changed circumstances; while the author finds a pleasant ending to all their happy makeshifts.

"The story is charmingly told, and the book can be warmly
recommended as a present for girls."--_Standard._

+Giannetta+: A Girl's Story of Herself. By ROSA MULHOLLAND.
With full-page Illustrations by LOCKHART BOGLE.
12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

The daughter of a gentleman, who had married a poor Swiss girl, was stolen as an infant by some of her mother's relatives. The child having died, they afterward for the sake of gain substitute another child for it, and the changeling, after becoming a clever modeler of clay images, is suddenly transferred to the position of a rich heiress. She develops into a good and accomplished woman, and though the imposture of her early friends is finally discovered, she has gained too much love and devotion to be really a sufferer by the surrender of her estates.

"Extremely well told and full of interest. Giannetta is a true
heroine--warm-hearted, self-sacrificing, and, as all good women
nowadays are, largely touched with enthusiasm of humanity. The
illustrations are unusually good. One of the most attractive gift
books of the season."--_The Academy._

+Margery Merton's Girlhood.+ By ALICE CORKRAN. With
full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

The experiences of an orphan girl who in infancy is left by her father--an officer in India--to the care of an elderly aunt residing near Paris. The accounts of the various persons who have an after influence on the story, the school companions of Margery, the sisters of the Conventual College of Art, the professor, and the peasantry of Fontainebleau, are singularly vivid. There is a subtle attraction about the book which will make it a great favorite with thoughtful girls.

"Another book for girls we can warmly commend. There is a
delightful piquancy in the experiences and trials of a young
English girl who studies painting in Paris."--_Saturday Review._

+Under False Colors+: A Story from Two Girls' Lives. By
SARAH DOUDNEY. With full-page Illustrations by G. G. KILBURNE.
12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

A story which has in it so strong a dramatic element that it will attract readers of all ages and of either sex. The incidents of the plot, arising from the thoughtless indulgence of a deceptive freak, are exceedingly natural, and the keen interest of the narrative is sustained from beginning to end.

"Sarah Doudney has no superior as a writer of high-toned
stories--pure in style, original in conception, and with
skillfully wrought out plots; but we have seen nothing equal in
dramatic energy to this book."--_Christian Leader._

+Down the Snow Stairs+; or, From Good-night to Good-morning.
By ALICE CORKRAN. With Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE.
12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

This is a remarkable story: full of vivid fancy and quaint originality. In its most fantastic imaginings it carries with it a sense of reality, and derives a singular attraction from that combination of simplicity, originality, and subtle humor, which is so much appreciated by lively and thoughtful children. Children of a larger growth will also be deeply interested in Kitty's strange journey, and her wonderful experiences.

"Among all the Christmas volumes which the year has brought to
our table this one stands out _facile princeps_--a gem of the
first water, bearing upon every one of its pages the signet
mark of genius.... All is told with such simplicity and perfect
naturalness that the dream appears to be a solid reality. It is
indeed a Little Pilgrims Progress."--_Christian Leader._

+The Tapestry Room+: A Child's Romance. By MRS. MOLESWORTH.
Illustrated by WALTER CRANE. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

"Mrs. Molesworth is a charming painter of the nature and ways of
children; and she has done good service in giving us this charming
juvenile which will delight the young people."--_Athenaeum_, London.

+Little Miss Peggy+: Only a Nursery Story. By MRS. MOLESWORTH.
With Illustrations by WALTER CRANE. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

Mrs. Molesworth's children are finished studies. She is never sentimental, but writes common sense in a straightforward manner. A joyous earnest spirit pervades her work, and her sympathy is unbounded. She loves them with her whole heart, while she lays bare their little minds, and expresses their foibles, their faults, their virtues, their inward struggles, their conception of duty, and their instinctive knowledge of the right and wrong of things. She knows their characters, she understands their wants, and she desires to help them.

+Polly+: A New Fashioned Girl. By L. T. MEADE.
Illustrated 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

Few authors have achieved a popularity equal to Mrs. Meade as a writer of stories for young girls. Her characters are living beings of flesh and blood, not lay figures of conventional type. Into the trials and crosses, and everyday experiences, the reader enters at once with zest and hearty sympathy. While Mrs. Meade always writes with a high moral purpose, her lessons of life, purity and nobility of character are rather inculcated by example than intruded as sermons.

+Rosy.+ By MRS. MOLESWORTH. Illustrated by WALTER CRANE.
12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

Mrs. Molesworth, considering the quality and quantity of her labors, is the best story-teller for children England has yet known. This is a bold statement and requires substantiation, Mrs. Molesworth, during the last six years, has never failed to occupy a prominent place among the juvenile writers of the season.

"A very pretty story.... The writer knows children and
their ways well.... The illustrations are exceedingly well
drawn."--_Spectator._

+Little Sunshine's Holiday+: A Picture from Life. By MISS
MULOCK. Illustrated by WALTER CRANE. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

doings and sayings of a very charming and rather precocious child
nearly three years old."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

"Will be delightful to those who have nurseries peopled by 'Little
Sunshines' of their own."--_Athenaeum._

+Esther+: A Book for Girls. By ROSA N. CAREY.
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

"She inspires her readers simply by bringing them in contact
with the characters, who are in themselves inspiring. Her
simple stories are woven in order to give her an opportunity
to describe her characters by their own conduct in seasons of
trial."--_Chicago Times._

+Sweet Content.+ By MRS. MOLESWORTH. Illustrated by
W. RAINEY. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

"It seems to me not at all easier to draw a lifelike child than
to draw a lifelike man or woman: Shakespeare and Webster were the
only two men of their age who could do it with perfect delicacy
and success. Our own age is more fortunate, on this single score
at least, having a larger and far nobler proportion of female
writers; among whom, since the death of George Eliot, there is
none left whose touch is so exquisite and masterly, whose love
is so thoroughly according to knowledge, whose bright and sweet
invention is so fruitful, so truthful, or so delightful as Mrs.
Molesworth."--A. C. SWINBURNE.

+One of a Covey.+ By the Author of "Honor Bright," "Miss
Toosey's Mission." With Numerous Illustrations by H. J. A.
MILES. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

"Full of spirit and life, so well sustained throughout that
grown-up readers may enjoy it as much as children. This
'Covey' consists of the twelve children of a hard-pressed Dr.
Partridge, out of which is chosen a little girl to be adopted
by a spoilt, fine lady.... It is one of the best books of the
season."--_Guardian._

"We have rarely read a story for boys and girls with greater
pleasure. One of the chief characters would not have disgraced
Dickens' pen."--_Literary World._

+The Little Princess of Tower Hill.+ By L. T. MEADE.
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

"This is one of the prettiest books for children published, as
pretty as a pond-lily, and quite as fragrant. Nothing could be
imagined more attractive to young people than such a combination
of fresh pages and fair pictures; and while children will
rejoice over it--which is much better than crying for it--it is
a book that can be read with pleasure even by older boys and
girls."--_Boston Advertiser._

+Honor Bright+; or, The Four-Leaved Shamrock. By the Author
of "One of a Covey," "Miss Toosey's Mission," etc., etc. With
full-page Illustrations, 12mo, cloth, price $1.00.

"It requires a special talent to describe the sayings and doings
of children, and the author of 'Honor Bright,' 'One of a Covey,'
possesses that talent in no small degree."--_Literary Churchman._

"A cheery, sensible, and healthy tale."--_The Times._

+The Cuckoo Clock.+ By MRS. MOLESWORTH. With
Illustrations by WALTER CRANE. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

"A beautiful little story. It will be read with delight by every
child into whose hands it is placed.... The author deserves all
the praise that has been, is, and will be bestowed on 'The Cuckoo
Clock.' Children's stories are plentiful, but one like this is not
to be met with every day."--_Pall Mall Gazette._

+Girl Neighbors+; or, The Old Fashion and the New. By
SARAH TYTLER. With full-page Illustrations by C. T. GARLAND.
12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

"One of the most effective and quietly humorous of Miss Tytler's
stories. 'Girl Neighbors' is a pleasant comedy, not so much of
errors as of prejudices got rid of, very healthy, very agreeable,
and very well written."--_Spectator._

+The Little Lame Prince.+ By MISS MULOCK. Illustrated,
cloth, price 75 cents.

"No sweeter--that is the proper word--Christmas story for the
little folks could easily be found, and it is as delightful for
older readers as well. There is a moral to it which the reader
can find out for himself, if he chooses to think."--_Herald_,
Cleveland.

+The Adventures of a Brownie.+ As Told to my Child. By
MISS MULOCK. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

"The author of this delightful little book leaves it in doubt all
through whether there actually is such a creature in existence as
a Brownie, but she makes us hope that there might be."--_Standard,
Chicago._

+Only a Girl+: A Story of a Quiet Life. A Tale of Brittany.
Adapted from the French by C. A. JONES. Illustrated,

"We can thoroughly recommend this brightly written and homely
narrative."--_Saturday Review._

BEATRICE HARRADEN. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

healthy, and so natural withal that the book ought, as a matter of
duty, to be added to every girl's library in the land."--_Boston
Transcript._

+Little Miss Joy.+ By EMMA MARSHALL. Illustrated,

writer in such an attractive way as to win favor among its young
readers. The illustrations add to the beauty of the book."--_Utica
Herald._

Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

pleasant instruction, quaintness of humor, gentle pathos, and the
subtlety with which lessons moral and otherwise are conveyed to
children, and perhaps to their seniors as well."--_The Spectator._

+Joan's Adventures at the North Pole and Elsewhere.+ By
ALICE CORKRAN. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents.

they are very naturally worked out and very plausibly presented.
Altogether this is an excellent story for girls."--_Saturday
Review._

larger growth and added years."--_Daily Telegraph._
