by Gertrude Weld Arnold

Polly's Secret.
Little. 1.50

Polly was a staunch little Maine girl of the long-ago days. She held an important trust sacred for many years, proving herself of sterling worth.

Pyle, Howard.

The Story of Jack Ballister's Fortunes.
Century. 2.00

This exciting narrative of Colonial days tells of the notorious pirate Blackbeard and also of the kidnapping and transporting from England to the Southern colonies which was so common during the first half of the eighteenth century. A thread of romance runs through the story.

Stevenson, R.L.

Treasure Island.
Illustrated by Wal Paget.
Scribner. 1.25

Stevenson's fascinating tale of adventure is already a classic. Nothing of the sort, perhaps, since Robinson Crusoe, has so appealed to both old boys and young ones.
