irport Nine' is not likely to have its superior this season." --_The N. Y. Evening Mail._ * * * * * ABOUT OLD STORY TELLERS. OF HOW AND WHEN THEY LIVED, AND WHAT STORIES THEY TOLD. By DONALD G. MITCHELL. _With numerous illustrations._ =One volume, 12mo, $1.25= "'About Old Story Tellers' is made up of the best of the old stories, gathered from all sources, re-told in Mr. Mitchell's inimitable manner, and interwoven with lively sketches of the original writers and the times in which they flourished." --_The New Haven Journal and Courier._ * * * * * HEROES OF THE OLDEN TIME. By JAMES BALDWIN. _Three vols., 12mo, each beautifully illustrated, Singly, $1.50; The Set, $4.00._ In these three volumes, Mr. Baldwin presents in consecutive narrative forms the Legends relating to the Trojan War, the great Siegfried myth of Northern Europe, and the mediaeval romance of Roland and Charlemange; bringing before the reader, with great spirit, with scholarly accuracy and with unfailing taste these heroic figures and the times in which their adventures are supposed to have occurred. * * * * * =A STORY OF THE GOLDEN AGE.= With a series of superb Full-page Illustrations by HOWARD PYLE. =One volume, 12mo, $1.50.= "Mr. Baldwin's book is redolent with the spirit of the Odyssey, that glorious primitive epic, fresh with the dew of the morning of time.

Boyesen._ "Mr. Baldwin's work here as in 'Siegfried' and 'Roland' is of exceptional merit, and is to be classed with the 'Tanglewood Tales' of Hawthorne rather than with the average story for the young. Mr. Pyle has furnished the volume with a dozen drawings of great artistic excellence and of genuinely illustrative character." --_The Providence Journal._ * * * * * =THE ST
