ilt, 3s. 6d.
Entering the railway service, Jasper Myddleton worked his way up to
the footplate only for the past to rise up against him and cause
his dismissal. But his grit and dogged pertinacity carried him
safely through various adventures at sea and in Central Africa. He
discovered the 'Real King Solomon's Mines,' but in 'Kiddy,' a
little girl-friend, he found the greatest treasure of all. The plot
is particularly attractive, and the reader will follow Myddleton's
vigorous, moving career with sustained interest.
