  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._
