ASA DON DICKINSON and ADA M. SKINNER 

 The Children's Book of Christmas Stories 



To paraphrase the "Three Bears Story"- — some of the stories 

 are for weeny, tiny children — some are for middle-size children, and 

 some are for great bi-i-ig children. But all of them are for really, 

 truly children, and all but two, which have never yet been published, 

 have already won the approval of thousands of children. Frontis- 

 piece in colors. Net $1.25. Ready October 4th. 



JAMES FRANCIS DWYER 

 The Spotted Panther 



The Great Parong of Buddha was the most wonderful sword 

 that ever came down from ancient times, and was hidden somewhere 

 in the wilds of Borneo. Jack Lenford and Chico Morgan set out to 

 find it. Borneo is a long way off and queer things happen there, 

 but this party with the help of Nao, the Portuguese girl, came through 

 adventures queerer than any you have ever dreamed of. No one 

 who read "The White Waterfall" will mfes this author's new story. 

 Illustrated in colors. Net $1.25. Ready September 20th. 



JOHN FOORD 



The Life and Public Services of Andrew Haswell Green 



Andrew Haswell Green conceived the park system of New York 

 City, and he was largely responsible for its being executed. This 

 alone would stamp him as a character of interest. The account of 

 his career is an inspiring record of the early history of New York 

 and of a fife spent in public service. Illustrated. Net $1.50. Ready 

 September 20th. 



HULBERT FOOTNER 

 Jack Chanty 



Jack Chanty was a character known to every trapper in the 

 North. They knew he came from the "outside," but what his past 

 had been, none knew, nor did anyone care. But the world and his 

 past, in the shape of Garrod and a girl, followed him, and how it all 

 turns out is a mighty interesting story. If you read "Two on the 

 Trail," you will not miss "Jack Chanty." Illustrated. Net $1.25. 

 Ready September 20th. 



A. B. FROST 

 Carlo 



Here is a set of brand new drawings, never before published in 

 any form, by A. B. Frost, the man who drew Uncle Remus. Carlo 

 has a picturesque and meteoric career, and these are the moving 

 pictures of it. It's delightful nonsense. Illustrated. Net $1.00. 

 Ready October 4th 



WALTER ARCHER FROST 

 The Man Between 



"The nGaka's curse upon you," shrieked the witch doctor, 

 "and death comes fast to those who have earned the nGaka's curse." 

 And forthwith Frazer collapsed on the floor. That's the start of the 

 story and you follow the adventures of Ormsby, the American, and 

 his unfortunate South African companions with breathless interest 

 from that time on. Mr. Frost has caught the hopeless spirit of these 

 South African exiles in a wonderful way, and told a story that will 

 both move and mystify you. Illustrated. Net $1.25. Ready 

 October 4th. 



GERARD HARRY 

 Man's Miracle 



In Europe this book has been hailed as sensational in the best 

 sense of the word because of its criticism of our present-day educa- 

 tional methods and its startling conclusions about the origin and 

 perfectibility of the human race drawn from investigation of the four 

 deaf mutes who have astonished the world by their learning, Helen 

 Keller, Laura Bridgman, Marie and Martha Heurtin. An absorb- 

 ingly interesting narrative with all the appeal of a novel. Net $1.35. 

 Ready October 4th.
