Mailed, postpaid, by the publishers_, ROBERTS BROTHERS, BOSTON THE LITTLE SISTER OF WILIFRED. A Story. By Miss A. G. Plympton, author of "Dear Daughter Dorothy" and "Betty, a Butterfly." Illustrated by the author. Small 4to. Cloth. Price $1.00. [Illustration] The author of "Dear Daughter Dorothy" needs no passport to favor. That bewitching little story which she not only wrote but illustrated must have given the name of A. G. Plympton a notable place among the writers of children's stories. Followed by "Betty, a Butterfly" and now by "The Little Sister of Wilifred," we have a most interesting trio with which to adorn a child's library.--_Boston Times._ _Sold by all booksellers; mailed, post-paid, by the publishers_, ROBERTS BROTHERS, BOSTON SUSAN COOLIDGE'S POPULAR BOOKS. A GUERNSEY LILY; OR, HOW THE FEUD WAS HEALED. =A Story for Girls and Boys.= [Illustration] BY SUSAN COOLIDGE, _Author of "What Katy Did," "Clover," "In the High Valley," etc._ * * * * * NEW EDITION. Square 16mo. Illustrated. Price, $1.25. * * * * * ROBERTS BROTHERS, BOSTON. _Messrs. Roberts Brothers' Publications._ A LOST HERO. BY ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS WARD AND HERBERT D. WARD. With 30 illustrations by Frank T. Merrill. Small quarto. Cloth. Price, $1.50. [Illustration] The lost hero was a poor old negro who saved the Columbia express from destruction at the time of the Charleston earthquake, and vanished from human ken after his brave deed was accomplished, swallowed up, probably, in some yawning crevice of the envious earth. The story is written with that simplicity which is the perfection of art, and its subtle pathos is given full and eloquent expression. But noble as the book is, viewed as a literary performance, it owes not a little of its peculiar attractiveness to the illustrations with which it is now adorned after drawings by Frank T. Merrill.--_The Beacon._
