  THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE. Illustrated by F. C. Yohn.

  The "lonesome pine" from which the story takes its name was a tall treethat stood in solitary splendor on a mountain top. The fame of the pinelured a young engineer through Kentucky to catch the trail, and when hefinally climbed to its shelter he found not only the pine but the_footprints of a girl._ And the girl proved to be lovely, piquant, andthe trail of these girlish footprints led the young engineer a madderchase than "the trail of the lonesome pine."

  THE LITTLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME. Illustrated by F. C. Yohn.

  This is a story of Kentucky, in a settlement known as "Kingdom Come."It is a life rude, semi-barbarous; but natural and honest, from whichoften springs the flower of civilization.

  "Chad." the "little shepherd" did not know who he was nor whence hecame--he had just wandered from door to door since early childhood,seeking shelter with kindly mountaineers who gladly fathered andmothered this waif about whom there was such a mystery--a charmingwaif, by the way, who could play the banjo better that anyone else inthe mountains.

  A KNIGHT OF THE CUMBERLAND. Illustrated by F. C. Yohn.

  The scenes are laid along the waters of the Cumberland, the lair ofmoonshiner and feudsman. The knight is a moonshiner's son, and theheroine a beautiful girl perversely christened "The Blight." Twoimpetuous young Southerners fall under the spell of "The Blight's"charms and she learns what a large part jealousy and pistols have inthe love making of the mountaineers.
