He held up the page so that they could read the head-lines. “Judge Moore Continues the Injunction against the D. V. & E. and Makes it Permanent. Holds that the Adoption of the Pickett’s Gap Route by the Board of Directors of the T. & W. was First in Point of Time.

GREFE 12mo. Cloth. $1.50 Miss Dix follows up the remarkable success which she achieved in her “Making of Christopher Ferringham” with a story of the career of a boy. The times are Cromwellian, and the captive lad is cavalier, full of the selfish greed and pride of his caste. The plot develops round the child’s relations to his Puritan relatives. It is well told, with plenty of action, admirably illustrated with eight full-page illustrations, and would make an excellent holiday present for young people. THE MAKING OF CHRISTOPHER FERRINGHAM By BEULAH MARIE DIX 12mo. Cloth. $1.50 “It bids fair to be widely enjoyed for its remarkable vividness, the sweep of its narrative, and its surprising variety of interest. It is somewhat unlike other recent historical romances. The narrative is never for a moment interrupted for the sake of local color.... Yet, in few, if any, recent historical narratives have we had so vivid and memorable, or so realistic, a picture of the daily life of a given community in a past age. It may fairly be questioned if there can be found anywhere else in literature so well rounded, so persuasive, and so forcible a portrayal of a typical Puritan community as that which we have in the first half of this book.”--_The Boston Herald._ THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 66 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK SOLDIER RIGDALE _How He Sailed in the “Mayflower,” and How He Served Miles Standish_ By BEULAH MARIE DIX Author of “Hugh Gwyeth” With Illustrations by REGINALD B.
