The demand for copies of 1.-The Ameri-

indicates that there is something in this
new work which has a peculiar appeal
for both old and young. because the per-

its distribution was begun by The Star

outset and is increasing every day. 1t is
a matter of great satisfaction that so
MANY school teachers are securing the
book Anther fact that has caused much
comment is the large number of colored
people who bring in the coupons.

Many inquiries are made daily by per-

He felt that his majority had made him
a knight. and he was much ashamed OF
the three years which had elapsed before
he had armed himaelf cap-a-pie to set
out on his own crusade.
No more of the impulsiveness OF youth
for him, no more the idle Jest and wanton
prank. The world was not a pleasure
ground. not a mock tournament, but a
great battlefield, wherein the forces OF
greed and ignorance were marshaled
against the forces OF charity and know-
edge, and on his unscarred banner he had
bfazoned the single word. Duty.
1t would have panied him grievously IL
he had suspected that his very enthu-
siasm was an earmark of youth. When
he encountered a mirror he drew his face
into stern lines. and he fondy fancied
that his very soul had become firm and
infexible. But youth possesses remark
able vitality, and II takes many bitter
disappointments to rout Ii utterly from

guarded moments, Dick was quite COM
