STEEPLE DAVIS _No. 1.--Deerfoot in the Forest_ _No. 2.--Deerfoot on the Prairies_ _No. 3.--Deerfoot in the Mountains_ Each contains seven half-tone engravings and _color frontispiece_. They make more real the fortunes and adventures of the heroic little band that journeys through the wilderness and prairies from the Ohio to the Pacific.

Our old friends, George and Victor, of the "Log Cabin Series," are again met with in these pages, and the opportunity of once more coming face to face with Deerfoot will be welcomed by every juvenile reader. _The New Deerfoot Series is bound in uniform style in cloth, with side and back stamped in colors._ Price, single volume $1.00 Price, per set of three volumes, in attractive box 3.00 COPYRIGHT BY THE JOHN C.
