for which his state is famous. Only some thirty arid summers
had he seen; those summers had dried up all his physical
superfluousness. But this, his thinness, so to speak, seemed
no more the token of wasting anxieties and cares, than it
seemed the indication of any bodily blight. It was merely
the condensation of the man. He was by no means ill-looking;
quite the contrary. His pure tight skin was an excellent fit;
and closely wrapped up in it, and embalmed with inner health
and strength, like a revivified Egyptian, this Starbuck seemed
prepared to endure for long ages to come, and to endure al
ways, as now; for be it Polar snow or torrid sun, like a patent
chronometer, his interior vitality was warranted to do well
in all climates. Looking into his eyes, you seemed to see there
the yet lingering images of those thousand-fold perils he had

life for the most part was a telling pantomime of action, and
not a tame chapter of sounds. Yet, for all his hardy sobriety
and fortitude, there were certain qualities in him which at

Why Girls "Stay Up"
to Read Jane Abbott

"Queen of Story Tellers"

They live in her books. Hers is the magic of drawing them into the best times any lively girl ever imagined-Good times at school with its friendships, its basketball, hockey and secret "spreads"; the gayeties of Christmas holidays; adventurous summers by the sea and on the tennis courts; the crackling camp fires of Girl Scouts; mysteries to solve, romance to dream; girls of every taste and every kind; boys, too, manly boys as ready for responsibility as for a sleigh ride or a skating frolic-they are all in one or another of the well-loved Abbott books.

Good Fun, Adventure and Romance
overrun the pages of her new story.
LAUGHING LAST

Frontispiece in color. Three other illustrations. $1.75

"He who laughs last, laughs loudest." But it is a question in the Romley family who will laugh last-dreamy Isolde or loyal Trude, pretty Vick or "just Sidney." The tale is chiefly concerned with Sidney's adventurous summer amid the wharves and boats of Provincetown. Here she aids in the capture of a band of modern pirates and plays a most unexpected part in Trude's romance. A splendid story for girls, fresh and sweet as the clean breath of the Atlantic over the Cape Cod sand dunes.

The heritage of every American boy is a love, for tales of the wilderness and backwoods, of pioneer and scout and Indian fighter.

American Trail Blazers

A splendid collection of stories, based on historical facts, which has done much to revive the early and adventurous phases of American history for boys. The story grips and the history sticks. 13 Stirring volumes in this series, each $1.75.
