"The Fast Mail" is one of the very best American books for boys brought out this season.

The style of narrative is excellent, the lesson inculcated of the best, and, above all, the boys and girls are real.--_New York Times._

It is a strong book for boys and young men.--_Buffalo Commercial._
THE YOUNG SUPERCARGO. A Story of the Merchant Marine. 352 pp. Cloth,$1.50.
Kit Silburn is a real "Brain and Brawn" boy, full of sense and grit and sound good qualities. Determined to make his way in life, and with no influential friends to give him a start, he does a deal of hard work between the evening when he first meets the stanch Captain Griffith, and the proud day when he becomes purser of a great ocean steamship. His sea adventures are mostly on shore; but whether he is cleaning the cabin of the _North Cape_ or landing cargo in Yucatan, or hurrying the spongers and fruitmen of Nassau, or exploring London, or sight seeing with a disguised prince in Marseilles, he is always the same busy, thoroughgoing, manly Kit. Whether or not he has a father alive is a question of deep interest throughout the story; but that he has a loving and loyal sister is plain from the start.
The set of four volumes in a box, $6.00.
SERAPH, THE LITTLE VIOLINISTE. By Mrs. C. V. Jamieson. 300 pp. Cloth,$1.50.
The scene of the story is the French quarter of New Orleans, and charming bits of local color add to its attractiveness.--_The Boston Journal._
Perhaps the most charming story she has ever written is that which describes Seraph, the little violiniste.--_Transcript, Boston._
