LADDIE.
Illustrated by Herman Pfeifer.

This is a bright, cheery tale with the
scenes laid in Indiana. The story is told
by Little Sister, the youngest member of
a large family, but it is concerned not so
much with childish doings as with the love
affairs of older members of the family.
Chief among them is that of Laddie, the
older brother whom Little Sister adores,
and the Princess, an English girl who has
come to live in the neighborhood and about
whose family there hangs a mystery.
There is a wedding midway in the book
and a double wedding at the close.

THE HARVESTER.
Illustrated by W.L. Jacobs.

"The Harvester," David Langston, is a man of the woods and
fields, who draws his living from the prodigal hand of Mother
Nature herself. If the book had nothing in it but the splendid figure
of this man it would be notable. But when the Girl comes to his
"Medicine Woods," and the Harvester's whole being realizes that
this is the highest point of life which has come to him -- there
begins a romance of the rarest idyllic quality.

FRECKLES.
Decorations by E. Stetson Crawford.

Freckles is a nameless waif when the tale opens, but the way in
which he takes hold of life; the nature friendships he forms in the
great Limberlost Swamp; the manner in which everyone who meets
him succumbs to the charm of his engaging personality; and his
love-story with "The Angel" are full of real sentiment.

A GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST.
Illustrated by Wladyslaw T. Brenda.

The story of a girl of the Michigan woods; a buoyant, lova'ole
type of the self-reliant American. Her philosophy is one of love and
kindness towards all things; her hope is never dimmed. And by the
sheer beauty of her soul, and the purity of her vision, she wins from
barren and unpromising surroundings those rewards of high courage.

AT THE FOOT OF THE RAINBOW.
Illustrations in colors by Oliver Kemp.

The scene of this charming love story is laid in Central Indiana.
The story is one of devoted friendship, and tender self-sacrificing
love. The novel is brimful of the most beautiful word painting of
nature, and its pathos and tender sentiment will endear it to all.
