"■«{ps- 



THE DOG THAT MADE GOOD 



6 Volumes 



He was just a mischievous, wag-tail puppy that wouldn't grow up. 

 into trouble; they called him "Silly-Billy." They even started to kill 

 And then came his chance. In the flash of an eye he did the thing 

 that amazed them all. After that he was king among them. You 

 will love him — you can't help it — and you will love the hundred other 

 beast-people told about by 



Ernest Thompson Seton

 forest. In the everydayness of hfe it has faded away. Get it

The romantic fascination of the wilderness and its people is 

 your heritage — bequeathed to you through the ages. 



Ernest Thompson Seton knows how to bring it home to you. 

 The fierce struggles of the beast-folk, their passions and their 

 tragedies — Seton has known them all. 



He has loved them and made them real. And each thing he 

 tells you is based on fact and scientific accuracy. It is the 

 science of the woods, touched with the magic of a romantic pen. 



6 BOOKS LIKE THIS 



These are not ordinary books. They are magnificently made. 

 They are on rich, soft paper, with great, generous margins, 

 and open, clear type that gives a feeling of out-doors. Nearly 

 every page has its own special, exquisite illustration in line, 

 and there are full-page, half-tone illustrations scattered 

 liberally throughout the books. Each volume has an indi- 

 vidual, appropriate design of its own on the side and the back, 

 stamped in two colors and gold. So each volume is a rich and 

 splendid gift book,and the whole makes a luxurious set of books. 



These books seemed to me so beautiful and luxurious, that I secured a few 

 sets of them from Doubleday-Page & Company. Since they were the 

 end of an edition, I got them at an especially low price, and that low 

 price I can pass on to you. 



Don't wait until this edition is gone. There are only a few and they 

 must go to those who answer first. Send the coupon without money to- 

 day for your set. ^.j
