New Editions of Two Favorite Books
THE LANCE OF KANANA
A STORY OF ARABIA
By HARRY W. FRENCH ("Abd el Ardavan")
Two-color illustrations by Garrett Net, $1.00
Kanana, a Bedouin youth, though excelling in athletic prowess, isbranded, even by his father, as a coward because he prefers the humblelot of a shepherd to the warrior's career that he, the son of a sheikknown as the "Terror of the Desert," was expected to follow. "Only forAllah and Arabia will I lift a lance and take a life," he maintained.Opportunity to prove his worth soon comes, and the supposed coward,understood too late, becomes in memory a national hero.
"The stirring story of the loyalty and self-sacrifice of a Bedouin boy is well worth the attractive new edition in which it now presents its rare pictures of fervid patriotism."--_Continent, Chicago._
