"A fascinating wonder-book for children."--_Athenoeum._

Leader._

Gold, Gold, in Cariboo: A Story of Adventure in British Columbia. By
CLIVE PHILLIPPS-WOLLEY. With 6 page Illustrations by G. C. HINDLEY.
Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 3_s._ 6_d._
Ned Corbett, a young Englishman, and his companion set out with a
pack-train in order to obtain gold on the upper reaches of the
Frazer River. Many difficulties lie in their path, but chiefly
they are the victims of an unscrupulous Yankee. After innumerable
adventures, and a life-and-death struggle with the Arctic weather
of that wild region, they find the secret gold-mines for which
they have toilsomely searched. This story is so real, and vivid,
and enthralling that no boy would skip a single page.

cloth elegant, 4_s._
"Sarah Doudney has no superior as a writer of high-toned
stories--pure in style, original in conception, and with skilfully
wrought-out plots; but we have seen nothing from her pen equal in
dramatic energy to this book."--_Christian Leader._

Three Bright Girls: A Story of Chance and Mischance. By ANNIE E.
ARMSTRONG. With 6 page Illustrations by W. PARKINSON. Crown 8vo, cloth
elegant, 3_s._ 6_d._
"Among many good stories for girls this is undoubtedly one of the
very best. The three girls whose portraits are so admirably
painted are girls of earnest, practical, and business-like mood.
Ever bright and cheerful, they influence other lives, and at last
they come out of their trials and difficulties with honour to
themselves and benefits to all about them."--_Teachers' Aid._
A Very Odd Girl: or, Life at the Gabled Farm. By ANNIE E. ARMSTRONG.
With 6 page Illustrations by S. T. DADD. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
3_s._ 6_d._
"The book is one we can heartily recommend, for it is not only
bright and interesting, but also pure and healthy in tone and
teaching."--_The Lady._
"The doings of the heroine at the Gabled Farm are amusing in the
extreme, and her escapades are always bringing her into trouble.
Vera is a fine character, however, and our girls will all be the
better for making her acquaintance."--_Teachers' Aid._
