J. A. Miles. (Wells Gardner, Darton, and Co.)—This is a pathetic little story, founded on fact, of a child of six, who strips himself of his clothing to keep a younger child of four from perishing of cold daring a night of ex- posure. The incident occurred not long ago, near Bristol. The drawings are pretty, though somewhat conventional.
