GE. Illustrated. $1.25.

The hero is the son of a man who from drink got into debt, and,
after having given a paper to a creditor authorizing him to keep
the son as a security for his claim, ran away, leaving poor Phil
a bond slave. The story involves a great many unexpected incidents,
some of which are painful, and some comic. Phil manfully works for
a year, cancelling his father's debt, and then escapes. The
characters are strongly drawn, and the story is absorbingly
interesting.

=The Tinkham Brothers' Tide-Mill.= By J. T. TROWBRIDGE.
Illustrated. $1.25.

"The Tinkham Brothers" were the devoted sons of an invalid mother.
The story tells how they purchased a tide-mill, which afterwards,
by the ill-will and obstinacy of neighbors, became a source of
much trouble to them. It tells also how, by discretion and the
exercise of a peaceable spirit, they at last overcame all
difficulties.

"Mr. TROWBRIDGE'S humor, his fidelity to nature, and story-telling
power lose nothing with years; and he stands at the head of those
who are furnishing a literature for the young, clean and sweet in
tone, and always of interest and value."--_The Continent._

=The Satin-wood Box.= By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.

"Mr. TROWBRIDGE has always a purpose in his writings, and this
time he has undertaken to show how very near an innocent boy can
come to the guilty edge and yet be able by fortunate circumstances
to rid himself of all suspicion of evil. There is something winsome
about the hero; but he has a singular way of falling into bad luck,
although the careful reader will never feel the least disposed to
doubt his honesty.... It is the pain and perplexity which impart to
the story its intense interest."--_Syracuse Standard._

=The Little Master.= By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.

This is the story of a schoolmaster, his trials, disappointments,
and final victory. It will recall to many a man his experience in
teaching pupils, and in managing their opinionated and self-willed
parents. The story has the charm which is always found in Mr.
TROWBRIDGE'S works.

"Many a teacher could profit by reading of this plucky little
schoolmaster."--_Journal of Education._
