HUGHES, THOMAS.                                                    (p. 165)
               Tom Brown's School Days at Rugby.
               Illustrated by E.J. Sullivan.
               Macmillan. 2.00

The one great story of school-boy life, telling of days at Rugby under
the famous Dr. Arnold, and revealing the spiritual influence of a
great master.


INMAN, HENRY.
               The Ranche on the Oxhide.
               Macmillan. 1.50

     Tale of pioneer days in Kansas when wolves and panthers,
     buffaloes and Indians, were familiar sights to the ranchman.
     Buffalo Bill and General Custer appear in the story.
                                        CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH.

     Colonel Inman served under Generals Custer, Gibbs, Sully, and
     other famous Indian fighters, of whose staffs he was a member.
     Over forty years on the extreme frontier gave him a rare
     opportunity to study the Indian character.--_National Cyclopædia
     of American Biography._


JANVIER, T.A.
               The Aztec Treasure House.
               Harper. 1.50

The scene of these stirring adventures is laid in Mexico of the
present day, and the heroes, a little band of plucky men, penetrate to
the heart of an unknown Aztec city. The well-written narrative is so
full of exciting happenings that it is a favorable substitute for the
ordinary sensational volume in which many boys find delight.


KIPLING, RUDYARD.                                                  (p. 166)
               Captains Courageous.
               Century. 1.50

An indulged lad, the son of rich parents, falls overboard from a
transatlantic steamer and is rescued by the crew of a fishing-smack
off the Banks of Newfoundland. The boy has to stay with the men and
make himself useful until the fishing season is over. The hardy life
of the sea makes a man of him by the time he is restored to his
parents.

  "Now Aprile is over and melted the snow,
  And outer Noo Bedford we shortly must tow;
  Yes, out o' Noo Bedford we shortly must clear,
  We're the whalers that never see wheat in the ear."


MARTINEAU, HARRIET.
               Feats on the Fiord.
               Macmillan. .50

A vivid picture of Norwegian life of the eighteenth century. Full of
action and interest, and conveying much information as to Northern
ways and customs in such a manner that it becomes a part of the story.


MARTINEAU, HARRIET.
               The Peasant and the Prince.
               Houghton. .40
