, cloth, olivine edges, price $1.00. "In this story the author gives an account of the fierce struggle between Saxon and Dane for supremacy in England, and presents a vivid picture of the misery and ruin to which the country was reduced by the ravages of the sea-wolves.

STANILAND. 12mo, cloth olivine edges, price $1.00. "Well constructed and vividly told. From first to last nothing stays the interest of the narrative.

With illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 12mo, cloth, olivine edges, price $1.00. "It is written in the author's best style.

"All boys will read this story with eager and unflagging interest.
