Nautilus is a volume by Laura E
Richards, author of Captain Janu-
ary," etc. Illustrated from original
drawings by W. L. Taylor. 1t is a new
volume in the famous Captain January
series, larger and handsOmer than its

little hero who is in the central char

appeals to the sympathies of young and
old Mrs Richards has made for her
self a little niche apart in the literary
