For the first time in an hour the Indian spoke. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 48: An Illustrated Magazine for Boys and Girls; Part II., May to October, 1921 NE fine lay morning about seventy years 7 ago a little French boot-black was standing at the entrance of the Pont Neuf, one of the finest of the many bridges that cross the Seine between the two great divisions of Paris. The boy was watching for customers. But there was none to be had yet, for it was too early. At length, finding nothing else to do, he took a piece Of Chalk from the one untorn pocket that he possessed and began to sketch a face upon the stone parapet Of the bridge. A strange face it was, very broad across the jaws. And narrowing as it sloped upward, so that. With its curious Shape and the pointed tuft of hair that stood up from the high. Narrow forehead. It looked at a little distance like an enormous pear. But it was plain that this was the likeness of some real man, and that the boy was immensely amused at it, for he chuckled to himself all the time he was working, and more than once laughed out right. So intent was he on his picture, which was now nearly finished. As to be unconscious that some one else was much interested in it. Too.

NICHOLAS, SANTA CLAUS, AND KRIS KRINGLE nPHE good St. Nicholas, the bishop-saint, is strangely little known in America. He has lent his name to a church here and there and to a popular magazine for children, his proteges. But how many people are familiar with the story of his life? How many even know the date of his own special festival? There are countries in which his memory is not thus neglected, in which the festival of St. Nicholas is one of the important events of the year. An English newspaper of the first year of the war has this to report concerning the Belgian custom: The feast of St. Nicholas, December 6th, was celebrated at...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Nicholas, Vol. 22: An Illustrated Magazine for Young Folks On a certain June morning in the year 1806, when the sunshine flooded all things, and every nightingale in France seemed practising for the post of court singer, a boy lay at the foot of one of the great chestnuts in the park of St. Cloud. He was small, disreputable-looking, and dilapidated, - a tramp, and a ragged little tramp at that; but his eye was bright and snappy; his tangled hair, crowned with the wreck of a red liberty-cap, was thick and golden; and his face, though it bore the stamp of poverty as it bore its crust of grime, had that careless, happy-go-lucky air that marks the street-boy of any great city. His restless eyes took in everything the noble park had to offer. He was evidently on the lookout for some place or some person. But, tired with his ten-mile tramp, and overpowered by the glorious solitude of all out-of-doors - burdened, also, with the weight of the important secret that had led him so far from his dingy home in the narrow Street of the Washerwomen, he had flung himself down at the foot of the great chestnut to talk it all over with himself for want of a listening comrade. "My faith!" he said, as he closed one eye and squinted the other along the fat tree-trunk, and into the over-arching branches, "but this is n't the Court of the Miracles now, nor yet the Street of the Washerwomen, is it? What big trees! What a lot of room! Lonesome, though, I think, when the night comes down; even the Street of the Washerwomen would be better than this, for there are plenty of people there, - more than a plenty sometimes, especially when that pig of a Pierre comes shoving across the street to tease Babette and set my two fists a-going! But I like people. There's more to see in a crowd of people than in a crowd of trees - more to do, too. But here's where the Little Corporal's big house is, somewhere among these trees. I wonder where? I saw a pile of buildings on the hill farther along, as I came up here. Perhaps I can find the Emperor there. I must; I must n't say what I came for to any one else. I wonder how one talks to an emperor? Must I say 'Citizen Emperor, ' or 'Citizen Little Corporal, ' or 'Citizen' what? I must find out before I get up to his house.
