Nautilus" by Laura Z. Richards. au-
thor Of Captain January Estes & Lar-
riat, publishers, Boston, Illustrated by
w L. Taylor. Cloth, 70 cents This is 4.
new volume in the famous Captain jan
uary' series, larger and handsomer than
its predecessors, the story, though very
much in the same veins as the others, be-
ing longer. The book is not a child's
story, although the part played by the
little hero, who is the central character

to the sympathies of young and old. Mrs.
Richards has made for herself a little
niche apart in the literary world from
her delicate treatment of New England
village life.
