LADDIE. Illustrated by Herman Pfeifer.
This is a bright, cheery tale with the scenes laid in Indiana. The
story is told by Little Sister, the youngest member of a large
family, but it is concerned not so much with childish doings as with
the love affairs of older members of the family. Chief among them is
that of Laddie and the Princess, an English girl who has come to
live in the neighborhood and about whose family there hangs a
mystery.
THE HARVESTER. Illustrated by W. L. Jacobs.
"The Harvester," is a man of the woods and fields, and if the book

notable. But when the Girl comes to his "Medicine Woods," there
begins a romance of the rarest idyllic quality.
FRECKLES. Illustrated.
Freckles is a nameless waif when the tale opens, but the way in

succumbs to the charm of his engaging personality; and his
love-story with "The Angel" are full of real sentiment.

from barren and unpromising surroundings those rewards of high
courage.
