The Mutineers
By EUSTACE L. WILLIAMS
Author of "The Substitute Quarterback." 12mo. Four illustrations by I. B. Hazelton. Pictorial cover in color. Price, $1.25.
"The Mutineers" is a rattling boys' story by Mr. Eustace L. Williams of the Louisville Courier-Journal. It gives a picture of life in a large boarding-school, where a certain set of boys control the athletics, and shows how their unjust power was broken by the hero of the tale, who forms a rival baseball nine and manages to defeat his opponents, thus bringing a better state of things in the school socially and as to sports. The story is full of lively action, and deals with baseball and general athletic interests in a large school in a manner which shows that the author is thoroughly acquainted with and sympathetic to his subject.

The Little Citizen
By M. E. WALLER
Illustrated by H. Burgess, 12mo, blue cloth, illustrated cover, $1.25
This is a right royal, good juvenile story. It has the narrative of the development of a waif of New York streets in the simple and wholesome life of a Vermont farmer neighborhood. The lad, Miffins, is taken into the household of Jacob Foss, a farmer. The story tells of the transformation wrought in Miffins's character. It is a story of heart power; and with its study of the evolution of a street gamin into a useful little citizen, and with its graphic descriptions of Vermont country life in summer and winter, it makes a book of unusual power and interest.
