A Cape May Diamond.

A CAPE MAY DIAMOND.
One of the most delightful stories for young readers that have been published for many years was the book given to them two years ago, entitled “The Little Lady of the Horse,” written by Evelyn Raymond. It has already become a classic. But the same gifted author has well matched this favorite story with a new one which she has produced for the present holiday season, entitled “A Cape May Diamond.” The heroine of this story was cast upon the beach at Cape May in a basket, made waterproof, when little more than an infant, and was adopted by a worthy German and his wife. She was called a Diamond by the life-saving men because she was found in the sand, and she grew to girlhood a universal favorite on the beach, because of her splendid character. She was healthy, true as steel, ready to help anybody in need, and as brave as the most faithful dog. Every reader is sure to love the sunny-hearted little Karen, and will rejoice in the happy solution of the mystery that surrounded her parentage and her advent at Cape May. The book is finely illustrated by Lilian Crawford True, and it will be sure to be a holiday favorite.

THE
Keeper of the Salamander’s Order.
A TALE OF STRANGE ADVENTURE IN UNKNOWN CLIMES.
By William Shattuck, author of “The Secret of the Black Butte.” With Ninety-Five Illustrations by Walter and Isabel Shattuck. Small 4to. Cloth. Gilt. 326 pages. Price, $2.00.
The scene of this wonder story is a mysterious region washed by the waves of a tropical sea yet to be explored. The young prince of this mysterious land is induced by a fairy to ride away with her on the back of a salamander, which rushes rapidly through the air until it reaches the fairies’ castle on a floating mountain. Here silver and other metal and precious stones grow on trees in abundance. While here, the floating mountain falls into the sea, leaving the prince and the fairy on the salamander’s back. The fairy is disenchanted, and in her place is a little girl who is greatly troubled because she has forgotten the word which formerly gave her command of the salamander. They decide to try to find the Keeper of the Salamander’s Order that they may discover the lost word. They are whirled away and meet with strange experiences, visiting The Largest Meteor Unknown to Science, The Island of the Smoke Bird, The Land of the Pillow-Heads, The Some Other Kind of People, and many strange and wonderful places, where they make friends of the queer inhabitants. The book is well printed and handsomely bound, and contains many appropriate illustrations. This volume will be very acceptable to young people as a Christmas gift.—Portland Press.
The narrative is quite unique in its conception, and the underlying motive is ingeniously carried out.... The story abounds in incidents of a sufficiently thrilling nature, is free from anything likely to wound the tender susceptibilities of sensitive children, and it is very attractively and lavishly illustrated.—The Beacon.
One of the largest and handsomest of the books for the young that have made their appearance this year.... The tale itself is of the fairy-like order which always enchains the minds of the young, and which are read with relish by their fathers and mothers. It is sufficiently extravagant in its imaginative features to satisfy the taste of the most exacting.... It is well written.—Kansas City Herald.
