_Captain Jack Lorimer_. By WINN STANDISH. Square 12mo, cloth decorative.
Illustrated by Arthur W. Brown and Louis D. Gowing $1.50

Jack Lorimer, whose adventures have for some time been one of the
leading features of the Boston Sunday _Herald_, is the popular
favorite of fiction with the boys and girls of New England, and,
now that Mr. Standish has made him the hero of his book, he will
soon be a favorite throughout the country.

Jack is a fine example of the all-around American high-school boy.
He has the sturdy qualities boys admire, and his fondness for
clean, honest sport of all kinds will strike a chord of sympathy
among athletic youths.

"No story will appeal more strongly to the wide-awake young chaps
blossoming into manhood than 'Captain Jack Lorimer.' No reader of the
story, from ten to sixteen years of age, will follow his course through
these pages without absorbing some of the buoyancy and good nature which
Jack displays. He is a clean, wholesome young fellow, an honest,
energetic boy who loves sport of all kinds, and who is square in all his
dealings."--_Boston Herald._

_The Enchanted Automobile_. Translated from the French by MARY J.
SAFFORD.

Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated in colors
by Edna M. Sawyer $1.00

The enchanted automobile was sent by the fairy godmother of a lazy,
discontented little prince and princess to take them to fairyland,
where they might visit their old story-book favorites.

Here they find that Sleeping Beauty has become a famously busy
queen; Princess Charming keeps a jewelry shop; where she sells the
jewels that drop from her lips; Hop-o'-My-Thumb is a farmer, too
busy even to see the children, and Little Red Riding Hood has
trained the wolf into a trick animal, who performs in the city
squares.

They learn the lesson that happy people are the busy people, and
they return home cured of their discontent and laziness.

it."--_Pittsburg Gazette_.

story. The book deserves to be a favorite."--_Chicago Record-Herald_.

"This book revives the spirit of 'Beautiful Joe' capitally. It is fairly
riotous with fun, and as a whole is about as unusual as anything in the
animal book line that has seen the light. It is a book for
juveniles--old and young."--_Philadelphia Item_.

_'Tilda Jane_. By MARSHALL SAUNDERS, author of "Beautiful Joe," etc.

One vol., 12mo, fully illustrated, cloth, decorative cover, $1.50

long time than this quaint and curious recital of the adventures of
that pitiful and charming little runaway.

"It is one of those exquisitely simple and truthful books that win and
charm the reader, and I did not put it down until I had finished
it--honest! And I am sure that every one, young or old, who reads will
be proud and happy to make the acquaintance of the delicious waif.

"I cannot think of any better book for children than this. I commend it
unreservedly."--_Cyrus Townsend Brady_.

Joe's Paradise," "'Tilda Jane," etc.
