DROWSY is the title (that was the nickname given the hero because of his unusual eyes). The author is JOHN AMES MITCHELL Editor of “LIFE” and author of “Amos Judd,” “The Pines of Lory,” “The Last American,” etc. It has over 300 pages, 20 remarkable illustrations, and 22 amusing decorations by the author, The price is $1.50.
