The Story of Keedon Bluffs. By _Charles Egbert Craddock_, author of
“The Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains,” “Down the Ravine,” etc. A
dramatic serial of boy life in the Great Smokies, with new scenes and
new characters, among the latter a jolly young mountaineer who sings
original dialect songs full of wild humor. Illustrations by Edmund H.
Garrett.
Romulus and Remus. By _Charles Remington Talbot_. This story is _not_
a tale of ancient Rome; instead, it is modern high comedy. Full of
mirthful surprises. So far as known, the first strictly humorous serial
prepared for a young folks’ magazine. Illustrations by Frank T. Merrill.
Montezuma’s Gold Mines. By _Fred A. Ober_, author of “The Silver City.”
This serial of romantic adventure is based on Mr. Ober’s own search for
the lost gold mines of Montezuma, which are firmly believed in Mexico
to be still in existence, their precise locality a guarded secret
among one or two tribes of mountain Indians, who inherit the precious
knowledge, handing it down in turn to their children. The hero of the
story is “John North,” the hero of “The Silver City,” and the serial
opens on the mysterious island of Cozumel. The story has been written
to satisfy the incessant demand and unappeasable desire of the readers,
old as well as young, of “The Silver City.” Illustrations by Hy.
Sandham.
The Secrets at Roseladies. By _Mary Hartwell Catherwood_, author of
“Rocky Fork,” and “Old Caravan Days.” It is enough, perhaps, to reveal
here, of Pen Bidgood, and Willie Bidgood, and “Sister” Bidgood, and
little Honora Jones, and Aquilla Jones, and beautiful Sarah Roseladies,
and Dan Marsh of the house-boat, that _one_ of their secrets concerned
the secrets of the Indian Mounds on the Lower Wabash. Illustrations by
W. A. Rogers.
Howling Wolf and His Trick-Pony. By _Mrs. Lizzie W. Champney_. The
hair-breadth adventures of a bright little Indian boy in search of the
lost “medicine” of the Utes. An enchanting serial for Little Folks,
which the big folks will equally enjoy. Illustrations by H. F. Farny,
and from photographs.
Bird-Talk. By _Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney_. For some time Mrs. Whitney
has been making a study of our wild birds and their individual song
expression; and from that study comes now a delicious group of poems,
each descriptive of a bird and its haunts, and each including a
metrical rendering of that bird’s song, based on the true vowel sounds
in the notes of its melody. This dainty and amusing series will be as
follows:
