The environment is again the author's beloved Prince Edward Island and the story and incidents possess the same simplicity and charm which characterize Miss Montgomery's earlier books. The Story Girl, herself—Sara Stanley—is a fascinating creature, and will delight and thrill her readers with her weird tales of ghosts "and things." She tells in wondrous voice of "The Mystery of the Golden Milestone," "How Kissing Was Discovered," and of just how the Milky Way happened into the heavens. She will make you feel the spell of the old orchard where she and her playmates spend such happy days, and with Felix, Dan and Beverly you will live again with her the "tragedies of childhood."

A CAPTAIN OF RALEIGH'S
By G. E. Theodore Roberts, author of "A Cavalier of Virginia," "Comrades of the Trails," "Red Feathers," etc. Cloth, 12mo, illustrated, decorative jacket
Net $1.25 (carriage, 13c. extra)
A typical Roberts romance—dashing and brisk with the scenes for the most part laid in the infant colony of Newfoundland, at the time when Sir Walter Raleigh and other famous captains swept the seas for England. Sir Walter is one of the characters in the romance but the chief interest centres about one of his officers, Captain John Percy.
