LADDIE— A True Blue Story 



By GENE STRATTON-PORTER 



Author of " Freckles," " A Girl of the Limberlost, " " The Harvester," 



(In its 275,000) 



etc. 



U 1 



PON our urgent recom- 

 mendation, 275,000 

 copies of this book have 

 been sold in two months. To 

 a certain extent the public 

 took our word for it that Mrs. 

 Stratton-Porter had written a 

 story so genuine and so sincere 

 that it deserved every reader's 

 support. We are glad now to 

 give place to other critics who 

 have no reason, except a real 

 enthusiasm for "Laddie," to 

 urge you to read the story. 



" Little sister does so many won- 

 derful things, and tells about them 

 all in such a natural way that she, 

 and all the other good people, seem 

 real and the story appear? to be 

 merely a bit of the book of the life of 

 the Stanton family and a few others 

 living in a rural region of Indiana. 

 It contains abundant humor too." — 

 Boston Transcript. 



"It is a tale which has a suggestion 

 of Dickens and a decided flavor 

 of Mark Twain, besides an original 

 tang of its own. The quaint humor, 

 the sound knowledge of country 



life, combine to make 'Laddie' one of the very best of the new books." — Chicago Journal. 

 " Gene Stratton-Porter's latest novel should rank high among the distinctive American 



stories of to-day. The book in the completeness of its picture, in its quaint humor and 



fidelity to wholesome human nature, has no parallel in American story-telling unless it 



be Mark Twain's ' Huckleberry Finn.' " — San Fsancisco Argonaut.
