PARTNERS FOR FAIR
With illustrations by FAITH AVERY. $1.35 net
A story full of action, not untinged by pathos, of a boy and his faithful dog and their wanderings after the poor-house burns down. They have interesting experiences with a traveling circus; the boy is thrown from a moving train, and has a lively time with the Mexican Insurrectos, from whom he is rescued by our troops.
THE LUCK OF THE DUDLEY GRAHAMS
Illustrated by FRANCIS DAY. 300 pp., 12mo. $1.35 net.
A family story of city life. Lightened by humor and an airship.
"Among the very best of books for young folks. Appeals especially to girls."--_Wisconsin List for Township Libraries._
"Promises to be perennially popular. A family of happy, healthy, inventive, bright children make the best of restricted conditions and prove themselves masters of circumstances."--_Christian Register._
"Sparkles with cleverness and humor."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
COCK-A-DOODLE HILL
A sequel to the above. Illustrated by FRANCIS DAY.
296 pp., 12mo. $1.35 net.
"Cockle-a-doodle Hill" is where the Dudley Graham family went to live when they left New York, and here Ernie started her chicken-farm, with one solitary fowl, "Hennerietta." The pictures of country scenes and the adventures and experiences of this household of young people are very life-like.
"No better book for young people than 'The Luck of the Dudley Grahams' was offered last year. 'Cock-a-Doodle Hill' is another of similar qualities."--_Philadelphia Press._
