The in the Mountains Part 11 (1/2)
”Miss Turner is Miss Alcott's true successor. The same healthy, spirited tone is visible which boys and girls recognized in LITTLE MEN and LITTLE WOMEN.”--The Bookman.
Elizabeth Hobart at Exeter Hall By JEAN K. BAIRD Ill.u.s.trated by R. G. VOSBURGH A spirited story of every-day boarding-school life that girls like to read. Full of good times and girlish fun.
Elizabeth enters the school and loses no time in becoming one of the leading spirits. She entertains at a midnight spread, which is recklessly conducted under the very nose of the preceptress, who is ”scalped” in order to be harmless, for every one knows she would never venture out minus her front hair; she champions an ostracized student; and leads in a daring plan to put to rout the Seniors' program for cla.s.s day.
The Saalfield Publis.h.i.+ng Co., AKRON, OHIO THE BRADEN BOOKS FAR PAST THE FRONTIER By JAMES A. BRADEN The sub-t.i.tle ”Two Boy Pioneers” indicates the nature of this story--that it has to do with the days when the Ohio Valley and the Northwest country were spa.r.s.ely settled. Such a topic is an unfailing fund of interest to boys, especially when involving a couple of stalwart young men who leave the East to make their fortunes and to incur untold dangers.
”Strong, vigorous, healthy, manly.”--Seattle Times.
CONNECTICUT BOYS IN THE WESTERN RESERVE By JAMES A. BRADEN The author once more sends his heroes toward the setting sun. ”In all the glowing enthusiasm at youth, the youngsters seek their fortunes in the great, fertile wilderness of northern Ohio, and eventually achieve fair success, though their progress is hindered and sometimes halted by adventures innumerable. It is a lively, wholesome tale, never dull, and absorbing in interest for boys who love the fabled life of the frontier.”--Chicago Tribune.
THE TRAIL OF THE SENECA By JAMES A. BRADEN In which we follow the romantic careers of John Jerome and Return Kingdom a little farther.
These two self-reliant boys are living peaceably in their cabin on the Cuyahoga when an Indian warrior is found dead in the woods nearby. The Seneca accuses John of witchcraft. This means death at the stake if he is captured. They decide that the Seneca's charge is made to s.h.i.+eld himself, and set out to prove it. Mad Anthony, then on the Ohio, comes to their aid, but all their efforts prove futile and the lone cabin is found in ashes on their return.
CAPTIVES THREE By JAMES A. BRADEN A tale of frontier life, and how three children--two boys and a girl--attempt to reach the settlements in a canoe, but are captured by the Indians. A common enough occurrence in the days of our great-grandfathers has been woven into a thrilling story.
The Saalfield Publis.h.i.+ng Co., AKRON, OHIO MARY A. BYRNE'S BOOKS THE FAIRY CHASER ”Telling of two boys who go into the vegetable and flower-raising business instead of humdrum commercial pursuits. The characters and situations are realistic.”--PHILADELPHIA TELEGRAPH.
LITTLE DAME TROT One of the most pleasing of juveniles, made pathetic by the strength with which the author pictures the central figure, a little girl made miserable by her mother's strict adherence to a pet ”method” of training.
THE LITTLE WOMAN IN THE SPOUT ”This pleasing story may have been developed from real life, from real children, so true a picture does it portray of girlish life and sports.”--GRAND RAPIDS HERALD.
ROY AND ROSYROCKS A glowing Christmas tale, fresh and natural in situations, that will interest both boys and girls.
