C.M.,M.D., R.N., author of “’Twixt School and College,” ete. With

§ full-page Illustrations by ALFRED Pgarse. Crown 8yvo, handsomely

bound, olivine edges, $1.50.

“ This is a delightfully interesting and breezy story of the days of Columbus. With-
out being absolutely a life of the great hero, it is truthfully historical, and bristling
with adventure from beginning to end. There is not a dull page init. Although the young
hero sails with Columbus, and participates in all his adventures, he is by birth and

parentage an English lad, so that much of the interest centres in England and is descrip-
tive of the life led in those times in that country.”

North Sea Fisher-boy. By Roperr Leicuron. With 8 full-page Ilus-
