ICAN STORY FOR BOYS.
MY KALULU.
_PRINCE, KING AND SLAVE. A STORY OF CENTRAL AFRICA._
BY HENRY M. STANLEY.
_One volume, 12mo, New Edition, with many Illustrations, $1.50_
Mr. Stanley's African romance for boys is based upon knowledge acquired
during his journey in search of Dr. Livingstone, which began in 1871 and
ended in 1872. It is a fascinating story of strange scenes, incidents
and adventures among the tribes of Central Africa, and of encounters
with the wild animals that make their home there. One feature of the
book is its vivid description of the evils of the slave trade. The
popularity of the story was great, and as it has been out of print, the
publishers have issued a new and cheaper edition, which will no doubt
meet with the same hearty reception accorded to the first.

"A fresh, breezy, stirring story for youths, interesting in itself and
full of information regarding life in the interior of the continent in
which its scenes are laid."
--_The New York Times._
"If the young reader is fond of strange adventures, he will find enough
in this volume to delight him all winter, and he will be hard to please
who is not charmed by its graphic pages."
--_The Boston Journal._

OTTO OF THE SILVER HAND.
WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY HOWARD PYLE.
=With Twenty-five Full-Page and many other Illustrations.=
_One volume, royal 8vo, half leather, $2.00_
"The scene of the story is mediaeval Germany in the time of feuds and
robber barons and romance. The kidnapping of Otto, his adventures among
rough soldiers, and his daring rescue, make up a spirited and thrilling
story. The drawings are in keeping with the text, and in mechanical and
artistic qualities as well as in literary execution the book must be
greeted as one of the very best juveniles of the year, quite worthy to
succeed to the remarkable popularity of Mr. Pyle's 'Robin Hood.'"
