This is the end of the tale, that Frodi slept yet other nights at
Cragness than that one, and lived with Rolf his life long. But Grani
took his father home to Fellstead, and dwelt there, he and Einar and
Helga. Grani was ever the greatest friend of Rolf, but Einar never
came into Rolf's sight so long as he lived; and that was not long, for
the old man was broken with his shame. Then after that Rolf took to
wife Helga the sister of Grani, and the curse of the Soursops never
troubled their children. Between the households of Cragness and
Fellstead was ever the closest bond, and famous men are come of both
Rolf and Grani.
So here we end the Story of Rolf.

FOUR ON A FARM
By MARY P. WELLS SMITH

Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net
It is a pleasing story, which will aid in making young people appreciate
the beauties and the delights of country life.--_Philadelphia Press._
It would be well for American city youth if more such books descriptive
of the joys and healthfulness of country life could be written.--_Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph._
_By the same author_
TWO IN A BUNGALOW
Illustrated. 12mo. $1.35 net
The second volume in the "Summer Vacation Series" is, like "Four on a
Farm," a story of out-door life which tells the story of the first
summer spent by the Strongs in their bungalow on Mount Pisgah, near
the Hoosac Tunnel, and describes the doings of Sydney and Clyde
Strong, eleven and six years old. They built a shack, went swimming,
fishing, berrying, etc. The book is wholesome and natural: it will
teach children to appreciate the joy and beauty of life out-of-doors
and will make many a boy wish for equally happy summers on Mount
Pisgah.

There is a fine fresh flavor of country life in what Mrs. Smith
writes, and her characters, particularly her children, are thoroughly
real and human.--R. H. STODDARD in _New York Mail and Express_.
A bit of real literature is "Jolly Good Times at Hackmatack." It has
all the vividness of actual experience.--_New York Tribune._
