The Summer Vacation Series
FOUR ON A FARM
By MARY P. WELLS SMITH
Author of "The Old Deerfield Series," etc.

TWO IN A BUNGALOW
The second volume in the "Summer Vacation Series" is, like "Four on a Farm," a story of out-door life which tells the story of the first summer spent by the Strongs in their bungalow on Mount Pisgah, near the Hoosac Tunnel, and describes the doings of Sydney and Clyde Strong, eleven and six years old. They built a shack, went swimming, fishing, berrying, etc. The book is wholesome and natural: it will teach children to appreciate the joy and beauty of life out-of-doors and will make many a boy wish for equally happy summers on Mount Pisgah.

Bright, Lively, and Enjoyable
"JOLLY GOOD TIMES"SERIES
By MARY P. WELLS SMITH
These books ("Jolly Good Times," etc.) give the best possible picture of New England child life about seventy-five years ago.—Miss Hunt,Supt. Children's Dept. Brooklyn Public Library.
Allow me to express, unasked, the zest and satisfaction with which I read "Jolly Good Times." I am delighted that the joyous country life of New England is painted in its true colors for children.—Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson.
There is a fine fresh flavor of country life in what Mrs. Smith writes, and her characters, particularly her children, are thoroughly real and human.—R. H. StoddardinNew York Mail and Express.
A bit of real literature is "Jolly Good Times at Hackmatack." It has all the vividness of actual experience.—New York Tribune.

THE STORY OF ROLF AND THE VIKING'S BOW
A stirring tale by the author of "The Junior Cup," presenting a vivid account of the old Norse life and of the people of Iceland.—Brooklyn Eagle.
Boys will follow the fortunes of Rolf with ever-increasing attention, for his skill as a marksman, his intrepidity in scenes of peril, and his noble character make him a very engaging hero.—Boston Beacon.
The author of this artistic story of Iceland has caught the spirit of the times and men he depicts most happily.—Outlook, New York.
PELHAM AND HIS FRIEND TIM
One of the very best boys' books. In the two boys, who are the chief characters, he has drawn a picture of manliness and honesty. The plot centres about a mill strike and contains exciting scenes.—Providence Journal.
A good, wholesome book for boys, especially to be recommended for the unobtrusive, matter-of-course way in which it makes character, instead of social station, the thing that counts.—New York Times.
HEROES OF ICELAND
Adapted from Dasent's translation of "The Story of Burnt Njal," the great Icelandic Saga, with a new Preface, Introduction, and Notes.
He has preserved the spirit of the saga in the abridgment, and even in this form the Northland epic makes better and healthier reading for boys than most of the books that are written specially for them.—New York Sun.
THE REFORM OF SHAUN
Two of the best dog stories that we have read in a long time.—The Churchman, New York.
