A New Novel by CHARLES G. D. ROBERTS.

A Sister to Evangeline: Being the story of Yvonne de Lamourie, and how she went into exile with the villagers of Grand Prẻ. $1.50.

The scene of this romance, like that of its predecessor, "The Forge in the Forest," is laid in the region about Grand Pre and the Basin of Minas, which Longfellow has made immortal in his poem of "Evangeline.' The date is 1755, and the action centers about that great and terrible decree of banishment which tore the old Acadians from their homes in the garden of Nova Scotia and scattered them in exile over the continent.

CYRANO DE BERGERAC.

From the French of Edmond Rostand. HOWARD THAYER KINGSBURY'S English version, accepted and played by Richard Mansfield. Cloth, $1.00. Paper, 50c. Mr. Kingsbury's translation has preserved much of the original flavor and also proved itself in many passages a work of poetic talent on its own account. The style is Elizabethan blank verse, faithfully adhered to throughout the piece, except where it is pleasantly varied by Gascon bits of song.

YE LYTTLE SALEM MAIDE: A STORY OF WITCHCRAFT.

A new novel by PAULINE BRADFORD MACKIE, author of "Mademoiselle de Berny: a Story of Valley Forge." Illustrated with four full-page photogravures, from drawings by E. W. D. Hamilton. $1.50. "Nothing could be more artistically conceived than this charming little tale, and ye lyttle maide,' with her abundant faults, which included a weakness for the 'follies and vanities o' youth,' and a very brisk tongue, is a figure one will not wish to forget."-CHICAGO EVENING POST.

"Beneath its lighter aims it is penetrated with a sympathetic humanity and a high moral purpose.”—BOSTON TRANSCRIPT. "A well-written and well-constructed tale.”—OUTLOOK,

THE GRAY HOUSE OF THE QUARRIES.

By MARY HARRIOTT NORRIS. With a frontispiece from an etching by Edmund H. Garrett. $1.50. "The peculiar genre for which, in a literary sense, all must acknowledge obligation to the author of a new type, is the Dutch American species. The churchgoings, the courtings, the pleasures and sorrows of a primitive people, their lives and deaths, weddings, suicides, births and burials are Rembrandt and Rubens pictures on a fresh canvas."-BOSTON TRANSCRIPT.

"A delightfully human book. The entire volume is a masterpiece of literary construction."-NEW YORK HOME JOURNAL.

"A novel of much power.”-PHILADELPHIA PRESS.

"The fine ideal of womanhood in a person never once physically described will gratify the highest tone of the period, and is an ennobling conception."-TIME AND THE HOUR, Boston.

THE LAND OF CONTRASTS: A BRITON'S VIEW OF HIS AMERICAN KIN.

By JAMES FULLARTON MUIRHEAD. $1.50.

"We do not see ourselves in these pages as others see us, but rather as we see ourselves by a chance glimpse in a mirror which presents an aspect of familiar strangeness."-THE BOSTON TRANSCRIPT. "The Land of Contrasts' is a stimulating and interesting book."-THE BOOKMAN. "Mr. Muirhead's book ought to be read widely."-BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE.

CARTAGENA: OR THE LOST BRIGADE.

A story of Colonial heroism in the British war with Spain, 1740-1742. By CHARLES W. HALL. $1.50. An historical romance dealing with the fortunes and bitter failure of the less well-known English Armada, sent in 1741 under Admiral Lord Edward Vernon to reduce Cartagena, the citadel of Spanish power in America, and, as it was fondly hoped, other cities in Cuba and elsewhere.

FOR YOUNG FOLKS.

Edited by Mary Mapes Dodge.

"ST. NICHOLAS OR YOUR LIFE!"

BEGINNING

THE TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR.

PERHAPS you used to read ST. NICHOLAS

in its early days. Do you remember how you enjoyed it, how you looked forward with eagerness to the day of issue? Twenty-five years have gone by since the first number appeared in November, 1873, but the magazine is to-day just what it was then,

The Best Periodical in the World for Girls and Boys.

It has the same editor, Mary Mapes Dodge, and the same policy,- to get the best things in literature and art that money can buy and young folks will enjoy and thrive under.

Young people to-day like to read the Henty books,—so Mr. Henty has written for them a story of American history which will appear as a serial in ST. NICHOLAS for the coming year; and Mrs. Amelia E. Barr, author of "Jan Vedder's Wife," will furnish a historical romance of Old New York; and Mrs. Laura E. Richards will contribute a serial; and there are to be good things from many writers- Mrs. Burton Harrison, Lieut. Robert E. Peary, Lloyd Osbourne, Mrs. Charles D. Sigsbee (the wife of the Maine's commander), Poultney Bigelow, and others. Gelett Burgess is to contribute a series of remarkable pictures and verse about the "Goop Babies." Every number of ST. NICHOLAS will be as good as can be made. Keep in mind the fact that the young people of to-day are just as anxious to read ST. NICHOLAS as you used to be,— and how many of them can you subscribe for and make happy?

A large Certificate in colors, of which this is a miniature, is useful if you wish to make a present of a year's subscription. We send it, free of charge, to any one who asks for it, with a subscription.

The price is $3.00 a year, and the year begins with November,-an especially beautiful birthday issue. December is the Christmas Number. All dealers or the publishers take subscriptions.
