With 16 full page pictures, and an elaborate cover design in many
colors. 12mo. $1.25.
As Mr. Roche modestly says in his _Forewarning_, "This volume,
containing the surprising adventures of the good Kayenna and the
marvellous wisdom of Shacabac, the wayfarer, needeth no apology. Its
merits are as many as its words."
And the reviewers have heartily agreed that "there are several laughs on
every page."
Published over two years ago, _Her Majesty the King_ is more popular

Irish Mist and Sunshine
_A BOOK OF BALLADS BY
REV. JAMES B. DOLLARD_
(Sliav-na-mon)
With an introduction by William O'Brien, M. P.
Small quarto. $1.50
This is a book of ringing Irish ballads that will stir the heart of
every lover of true poetry. "Here and there a verse may be as frankly
unadorned as the peasant cabins themselves in their homely cloaks of
thatch, but every line rings true to life and home and with the tone, as
heartmoving as the Angelus which holds Millet's peasants in its spell,"
from Mr. O'Brien's introduction.
"Father Dollard's ballads have all the fire and dash of Kipling's, with
a firmer poetic grasp," says Mr. Nathan Haskell Dole.
