nd obligation, and these active, vigorous boys work wonders in school sentiment. ST. DUNSTAN BOY SCOUTS [Illustration] There are no better stories for boys than the really clean tales of school life, and the boys of the school called "St. Dunstan" in this series are types of the best sort of American youth, good fellows and good students, in most cases, but not _too_ good. They become interested in the "Boy Scout" movement and organize a company at the school. There is work for them of a mysterious and puzzling nature, and they acquit themselves well. In conclusion, they have a very enjoyable week's "hike." "Here is a thoroughly wholesome book for boys, filled with boy life from cover to cover." --_Baltimore Sun._ _For sale by all booksellers or sent postpaid on receipt of price by the publishers_ LOTHROP, LEE & SHEPARD CO., BOSTON FOUR GORDONS By EDNA A. BROWN Illustrated Large 12mo Decorated Cover $1.50 [Illustration] Louise and her three brothers are the "Four Gordons," and the story relates their experiences at home and school during the absence of their parents for a winter in Italy. There is plenty of fun and frolic, with skating, coasting, dancing, and a jolly Christmas visit. The conversation is bright and natural, the book presents no improbable situations, its atmosphere is one of refinement, and it has the merit of depicting simple and wholesome comradeship between boys and girls. "The story and its telling are worthy of Miss Alcott. Young folks of both sexes will enjoy it."--_N. Y. Sun._ "It is a hearty, wholesome story of youthful life in which the morals are never explained but simply illustrated by logical results."--_Christian Register._ UNCLE DAVID'S BOYS By EDNA A. BROWN Illustrated by John Goss 12mo Cloth Price, Net, $1.00 Postpaid, $1.10 [Illustration] This tells how some young people whom circumstances brought together in a little mountain village spent a summer vacation, full of good times, but with some unexpected and rather mysterious occurrences. In the end, more than one head was required to find out exactly what was going on. The story is a wholesome one with a pleasant, well-bred atmosphere, and though it holds the interest, it never approaches the sensational nor passes the bounds of the probable. "A story which will hold the attention of youthful readers from cover
