A STORY OF THE SEA ISLANDS IN 1739. With six illustrations by C. D.
Williams.
Library 12mo, cloth . . . $1.50
"So rich in color is this story, so crowded with figures, it seems like
a bit of old Italian wall painting, a piece of modern tapestry, rather
than a modern fabric woven deftly from the threads of fact and fancy
gathered up in this new and essentially practical country, and therein
lies its distinctive value and excellence."—_N. Y. Sun_.

thoughtful public. It is a book to read with both enjoyment and

Here we have the great-hearted, capable woman of the Texas plains
dispensing food and genial philosophy to rough-and-ready cowboys. Her
sympathy takes the form of happy laughter, and her delightfully funny
phrases amuse the fancy and stick in one’s memory.
