honor and success and all the great things
worth fighting for and living for the involved
in 'Half a Rogue.'"--_Phila. Press._
THE GIRL FROM TIM'S PLACE. By Charles Clark Munn. With illustrations by
Frank T. Merrill.
"Figuring in the pages of this story there are
several strong characters. Typical New England
folk and an especially sturdy one, old Cy
Walker, through whose instrumentality Chip

chain of comedy, tragedy, pathos and love,
which makes a dramatic story."--_Boston

the Play.

"'Rose o' the River,' a charming bit of

Tribune._ "A wholesome, bright, refreshing
story, an ideal book to give a young
girl."--_Chicago Record-Herald._ "An idyllic
story, replete with pathos and inimitable
humor. As story-telling it is perfection, and
