The American Humane Education Society, incorporated 

 by the Legislature of Massachusetts in the spring of 1889, 

 with power to hold half a million of dollars free from 

 taxation, in addition to sending its monthly paper, ^'•Our 

 Dumb Animals^"' to all editors in North America north of 

 Mexico, and employing missionaries to establish "Humane 

 Societies '' and " Bands of Mercy " in Eastern, Western, 

 and Southern States and Territories, and a great variety of 

 other humane vv'ork, has published and caused to be 

 circulated (1st) nearly a million and a half copies of '•'•Black 

 Beauty;'' (2d) many thousands of copies of "Autobiogra- 

 phical Sketches " by its President, and now sends out this 

 beautiful Humane Prize Story, written for it, and which it 

 thinks may obtain as wide a circulation as '•'• Black Beauty .^'' 



It is intended to sell this, as all other of the Society's 

 past and future publications, at about the bare cost of 

 printing. All who wish infornaation in regard to prices, 

 and all who are willing to aid its gratuitous circulation^ are
