=Author's Preface.=

The stories published in this little volume have been issued
from time to time in the Philadelphia _Times_, and it is at the
request of many readers that they now greet the world in more
enduring form. They have been written as occasion suggested,
during several years; and they commemorate to me many of the
friends I have known and loved in the animal world. "Shep" and
"Dr. Jim," "Abdallah" and "Brownie," "Little Dryad" and
"Peek-a-Boo." I have been fast friends with every one, and have
watched them with such loving interest that I knew all their
ways and could almost read their thoughts. I send them on to
other lovers of dumb animals, hoping that the stories of these
friends of mine will carry pleasure to young and old.

VOL. 1 MAY 13, 1897. NO. 27

The Grant parade is over, the monument given to and accepted by the City
of New York, and the great day has come and gone as such days will,
leaving behind it tired eyes and a confused memory of marching soldiers.

The sections of the parade in which THE GREAT ROUND WORLD took most
interest were those in which the boys paraded, and especially the division
in which the cadets and boys from the military schools marched.

This division was greeted with great enthusiasm all along the line, and
well it might be! The soldierly make-up of these lads was a sight to see,
and their discipline and marching were unsurpassed by any of the
troops--regulars or militia.

The boys walked with a springing step, that showed no signs of fatigue,
even as they rounded the reviewing stand, and reached the goal of their
long march.

Among the many well-drilled companies of boy soldiers, marched one of
artillery.

This was perhaps the prettiest feature of the whole parade
