Detective and mystery stories; Stone, Fleming (Fictitious character) -- Fiction
To understand "courage" you must read the author's account of his
terrific struggle alone in the blizzard,--an eighty-mile fight in a
hurricane snow with his two companions left dead behind him.
The wild life in the southern seas is multitudinous; whole armies of
dignified penguins were caught with the camera; bluff old sea-lions and
many a strange bird of this new continent were so tame that they could be
easily approached. For the first time actual colored photographs bring to
us the flaming lights of the untrodden land. They are unsurpassed in any
other work.
These volumes will be a great addition to your library; whether large or
small, literary or scientific, they are an inspiration, a delight to
read.
Heart's Content
By RALPH HENRY BARBOUR. Illustrations in color by H. Weston Taylor.
Page Decorations by Edward Stratton Holloway. Handsome cloth binding.
In sealed packet. $1.50 net.
This is the tale of a summer love affair carried on by an unusual but
altogether bewitching lover in a small summer resort in New England.
Allan Shortland, a gentleman, a tramp, a poet, and withal the happiest of
happy men, is the hero; Beryl Vernon, as pretty as the ripple of her
name, is the heroine. Two more appealing personalities are seldom found
within the covers of a book. Fun and plenty of it, romance and plenty of
it,--and an end full of happiness for the characters, and to the reader
regret that the story is over. The illustrations by H. Weston Taylor, the
decorations by Edward Stratton Holloway and the tasteful sealed package
are exquisite.
_A New Volume in THE STORIES ALL CHILDREN LOVE SERIES_
Heidi
By JOHANNA SPYRI. Translated by ELISABETH P. STORK. Introduction by
Charles Wharton Stork. With eight illustrations in color by Maria L.
Kirk. 8vo. $1.25 net.
This is the latest addition to the Stories All Children Love Series. The
translation of the classic story has been accomplished in a marvellously
simple and direct fashion,--it is a high example of the translator's art.
American children should be as familiar with it as they are with "Swiss
Family Robinson," and we feel certain that on Christmas Day joy will be
brought to the nurseries in which this book is a present. The
illustrations by Maria L. Kirk are of the highest calibre,--the color,
freshness and fantastic airiness present just the spark to kindle the
imagination of the little tots.

romance of his earliest work with the humor, freshness and gentle satire
of his more recent.
