exciting adventures, culminating in a mysterious chase, the loss of their prize yacht, and its recapture by means of their old yacht, _Surprise_, which they raise from its watery grave. _The Young Section-hand_; OR, THE ADVENTURES OF ALLAN WEST. By BURTON E. STEVENSON, author of "The Marathon Mystery," etc. 12mo, cloth, illustrated by L.J. Bridgman $1.50 Mr. Stevenson's hero is a manly lad of sixteen, who is given a chance as a section-hand on a big Western railroad, and whose experiences are as real as they are thrilling. "It appeals to every boy of enterprising spirit, and at the same time teaches him some valuable lessons in honor, pluck, and perseverance." --_Cleveland Plain Dealer._ "This is a fine book for boys' reading, since it impresses a reader anew with the honor and beauty of simple, heroic, seldom-remembered deeds of men who do their duty as a matter of course."--_Christian Register._ "A thrilling story, well told, clean and bright. The whole range of section railroading is covered in the story, and it contains information as well as interest."--_New York Evening Post._ _Captain Jack Lorimer_. By WINN STANDISH. Square 12mo, cloth decorative. Illustrated by Arthur W. Brown and Louis D. Gowing $1.50 Jack Lorimer, whose adventures have for some time been one of the leading features of the Boston Sunday _Herald_, is the popular favorite of fiction with the boys and girls of New England, and, now that Mr. Standish has made him the hero of his book, he will soon be a favorite throughout the country. Jack is a fine example of the all-around American high-school boy. He has the sturdy qualities boys admire, and his fondness for clean, honest sport of all kinds will strike a chord of sympathy among athletic youths. "No story will appeal more strongly to the wide-awake young chaps blossoming into manhood than 'Captain Jack Lorimer.' No reader of the story, from ten to sixteen years of age, will follow his course through these pages without absorbing some of the buoyancy and good nature which Jack displays. He is a clean, wholesome young fellow, an honest, energetic boy who loves sport of all kinds, and who is square in all his dealings."--_Boston Herald._ _The Roses of Saint Elizabeth_. BY JANE SCOTT WOODRUFF, author of "The Little Christmas Shoe." Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decor
