ICAN STORY FOR BOYS. MY KALULU. _PRINCE, KING AND SLAVE. A STORY OF CENTRAL AFRICA._ BY HENRY M. STANLEY. _One volume, 12mo, New Edition, with many Illustrations, $1.50_ Mr. Stanley's African romance for boys is based upon knowledge acquired during his journey in search of Dr. Livingstone, which began in 1871 and ended in 1872. It is a fascinating story of strange scenes, incidents and adventures among the tribes of Central Africa, and of encounters with the wild animals that make their home there. One feature of the book is its vivid description of the evils of the slave trade. The popularity of the story was great, and as it has been out of print, the publishers have issued a new and cheaper edition, which will no doubt meet with the same hearty reception accorded to the first. [Illustration: "YOUNG KALULU IS HERE!"] "A fresh, breezy, stirring story for youths, interesting in itself and full of information regarding life in the interior of the continent in which its scenes are laid." --_The New York Times._ "If the young reader is fond of strange adventures, he will find enough in this volume to delight him all winter, and he will be hard to please who is not charmed by its graphic pages." --_The Boston Journal._ * * * * * OTTO OF THE SILVER HAND. WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY HOWARD PYLE. =With Twenty-five Full-Page and many other Illustrations.= _One volume, royal 8vo, half leather, $2.00_ "The scene of the story is mediaeval Germany in the time of feuds and robber barons and romance. The kidnapping of Otto, his adventures among rough soldiers, and his daring rescue, make up a spirited and thrilling story. The drawings are in keeping with the text, and in mechanical and artistic qualities as well as in literary execution the book must be greeted as one of the very best juveniles of the year, quite worthy to succeed to the remarkable popularity of Mr. Pyle's 'Robin Hood.'" --_Christian Union._ [Illustration] "Told with vividness and uncommon spirit." --_Troy Press._ "Far above the common run of juvenile tales." --_Pittsburg Post._ "Handsome and attractive in every respect." --_New York Herald._ "An addition of the highest character to juvenile literature." --_Boston Times._ "The decorative head and tail piece
