1  A Love Story   Автор:  A BUSHMAN
	A Love Story by A Bushman. Vol. I. "My thoughts, like swallows, skim the main, And bear my spirit back again Over the earth, and through the air, A wild bird and a wanderer." 1841. To Lady Gipps This Work Is Respectfully Inscribed, By A Grateful Friend. Preface. The author of these pages considered that a lengthened explanation might be necessary to account for the present work. He had therefore, at some length, detailed the motives that influenced him in its composition. He had shown that as a solitary companionless bushman, it had been a pleasure to him in his lone evenings "To create, and in creating live A being more intense." He had expatiated on the love he bears his adopted country, and had stated that he was greatly influenced by the hope that although "Sparta hath many a worthier son than he," this work might be the humble cornerstone to some enduring and highly ornamented structure.

	RADIO BOYS CRONIES or Bill Brown's Radio by Wayne Whipple Author of "Radio Boys Loyalty" and S. F. Aaron Co-author of "Radio Boys Loyalty" [Illustration: MADE IN U.S.A.] CHAPTER I THE CRONIES "Come along, Bill; we'll have to get there, or we won't hear the first of it. Mr. Gray said it would begin promptly at three." "I'm doing my best, Gus. This crutch----" "I know. Climb aboard, old scout, and we'll go along faster." The first speaker, a lad of fifteen, large for his age, fair-haired, though as brown as a berry and athletic in all his easy, deliberate yet energetic movements, turned to the one he had called Bill, a boy of about his own age, or a little older, but altogether opposite in appearance, for he was undersized, dark-haired, black-eyed, and though a life-long cripple with a twisted knee, as quick and nervous in action as the limitations of his physical strength and his ever-present crutch permitted.

	THE ENGLISH CHURCH IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY by CHARLES J. ABBEY Rector of Checkendon: Formerly Fellow of University College, Oxford and JOHN H. OVERTON Canon of Lincoln and Rector of Epworth Revised and Abridged New Edition Longmans, Green, and Co. London, New York, and Bombay 1896 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION Although this edition has been shortened to about half the length of the original one, it is essentially the same work. The reduction has been effected, partly by the omission of some whole chapters, partly by excisions. The chapters omitted are those upon the Jacobites, the Essayists, Church Cries, and Sacred Poetry--subjects which have only a more or less incidental bearing on the Church history of the period. The passages excised are, for the most part, quotations, discursive reflections, explanatory notes, occasional repetitions, and, speaking generally, whatever could be removed without injury to the general purpo

ABBOT [Illustration] Naval History of the United States Blue Jackets of 1898 Battlefields of '61 Battlefields and Campfires Battlefields and Victory Preface In an earlier series of books the present writer told the story of the high achievements of the men of the United States Navy, from the day of Paul Jones to that of Dewey, Schley, and Sampson. It is a record Americans may well regard with pride, for in wars of defense or offense, in wars just or unjust, the American blue jacket has discharged the duty allotted to him cheerfully, gallantly, and efficiently. But there are triumphs to be won by sea and by land greater than those o

"I am riding," she murmured almost inaudibly "I would therefore respectfully suggest as a special topic of conversation the consummate cheek of--yours truly, Paul Reymouth Edgarton!" "Your PAPER-DOLL BOOK?" stammered Barton "Don't delay me!" she said, "I've got to make four hundred muffins!" Suddenly full comprehension broke upon him and he fairly blurted out his astonishing information "You're nice," he said. "I like you!" "Any time that you people want me," suggested Edgarton's icy voice, "I am standing here--in about the middle of the floor!" LITTLE EVE EDGARTON

	10  Molly Make-Believe   Автор:  ELEANOR HALLOWELL, 1872-1958 ABBOTT
	MOLLY MAKE-BELIEVE I The morning was as dark and cold as city snow could make it--a dingy whirl at the window; a smoky gust through the fireplace; a shadow black as a bear's cave under the table. Nothing in all the cavernous room, loomed really warm or familiar except a glass of stale water, and a vapid, half-eaten grape-fruit. Packed into his pudgy pillows like a fragile piece of china instead of a human being Carl Stanton lay and cursed the brutal Northern winter. Between his sturdy, restive shoulders the rheumatism snarled and clawed like some utterly frenzied animal trying to gnaw-gnaw-gnaw its way out. Along the tortured hollow of his back a red-hot plaster fumed and mulled and sucked at the pain like a hideously poisoned fang trying to gnaw-gnaw-gnaw its way in. Worse than this; every four or five minutes an agony as miserably comic as a crashing blow on one's crazy bone went jarring and shuddering through his whole abnormally vibrant system. In Stant
