Baylor, F.C. (Mrs. F.C. (B.) Belger).
Juan and Juanita.
Houghton. 1.50
This account of the capture of Juan and Juanita by Comanches is founded on fact. A number of years ago two Mexican children were discovered by Indians on the other side of the Rio Grande, and carried away to the Llanos Estacados. After four years of captivity they made their escape, walking back three hundred miles through a wild country, and finally reaching their mother. The tale gives an interesting picture of hacienda life.

The Modern Vikings.
Scribner. 1.25
The author originally related these narratives of life and sport in the Norseland to his own children.
"For my Vikings love song and saga,
Like their conquering fathers of old;
And these are some of the stories
To the three little tyrants I told."
