      SPECIAL INDUCEMENT

      for our subscribers to interest others in The Great Round World, we will give to each subscriber who sends us $2.50 to pay for a year's subscription to a new name, a copy of

      Rand, McNally & Co.

      1897 Atlas of the World.

      160 pages of colored maps from new plates, size 11 1/2 x 14 inches, printed on special paper with marginal index, and well worth its regular price—— $2.50.

      Every one has some sort of an atlas, doubtless, but an old atlas is no better than an old directory; countries do not move away, as do people, but they do change and our knowledge of them increases, and this atlas, made in 1897 from new plates, is perfect and up to date and covers every point on

      The Great Round World.

      Those not subscribers should secure the subscription of a friend and remit $5 to cover it and their own. A copy of the atlas will be sent to either address.

      Author's Preface.

      The stories published in this little volume have been issued from time to time in the Philadelphia Times, and it is at the request of many readers that they now greet the world in more enduring form. They have been written as occasion suggested, during several years; and they commemorate to me many of the friends I have known and loved in the animal world. Shep and Dr. Jim, Abdallah and Brownie, Little Dryad and Peek-a-Boo. I have been fast friends with every one, and have watched them with such loving interest that I knew all their ways and could almost read their thoughts. I send them on to other lovers of dumb animals, hoping that the stories of these friends of mine will carry pleasure to young and old.
