About three years ago competent
workmen built the Beacon Hill Book
shelf for the use of books carefully
adjudged to be of lasting general

public. For quite long time no more

| upon this clearly exclusive shelf.
Then the number grew, slowly. to- IL.
Then one day this Summer this family
of books was seen to be edging a little
closer to one another, making room
for newcomer. they said. Quite
morning that one was. for the new
book had just won prize from about
| 400 that were seeking it--a prize OF
| So 900. And there it is, "The Trade
Wind" established with the little com
pany Of first-rate books for all Of us,
regardless of years. Taking the book
from the shelf, suppose you drop down

give it a looking over. To be sure.
you will stay right there-oh. maybe
not till you have finished it. but for
good spell of reading. at any rate.

David Dennison. a lad with the sea in

exciting years that led straight to the
American Revolution. Every Amer

were in that day even among honest
men evasions of the law against per-

evasions in this day. And so, off the
