The Standard Bearer

BOOKS BY S. R. CROCKETT.

Uniform edition. Each, 12 mo. Cloth, $1.50.

Lads’ Love.

Illustrated.

In this fresh and charming story, which in some respects recalls “The Lilac Sunbonnet,” Mr. Crockett returns to Galloway and pictures the humor and pathos of the life which he knows so well.

Cleg Kelly, Arab of the City.

His Progress and Adventures.

Illustrated.

“A masterpiece which Mark Twain himself has never rivaled.... If ever there was an ideal character in fiction it is this heroic ragamuffin.”--_London Daily Chronicle._

“In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or more graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in ‘Cleg Kelly.’ It is one of the great books.”--_Boston Advertiser._

Bog-Myrtle and Peat.

“Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life written in words that thrill and burn.... All are set down in words that are fit, chaste, and noble. Each is a poem that has the immortal flavor.”--_Boston Courier._

The Lilac Sunbonnet.

“A love story pure and simple--one of the old-fashioned, wholesome, sunshiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted hero, and a heroine who is merely a good and beautiful woman; and if any other love story half so sweet has been written this year it has escaped our notice.”--_New York Times._

NEW YORK: D. APPLETON AND COMPANY.
