and I'm going to get a job in Cartersburgh and I'm
coming home every night--so as to be near Ruth. Hey, Sport."
Poor old Mrs. Haskell only clung tighter to him. And Sport looked up,
and kept looking, as if he did not understand at all.
And so, as the evening drew on, these two, mother and son, sat in the
little kitchen of their old home and talked while Joe ate his supper; a
very good supper indeed for a "sperit." And since it was a matter of
eating, may we not fancy that the staunch spirit of Pee-wee Harris of
the raving Ravens was with them as they talked late into the night? And
when Joey Haskell jollied his poor old mother (as he did most
shamefully) may we not picture that diminutive scout saying in high
disgust, "You think you're smart, don't you?"
And yet, you know, you will hear it said that nothing ever happens in
Hicksville....

THE ROY BLAKELEY BOOKS

Author of the TOM SLADE BOOKS

Roy Blakeley
In a book given by a kindly old gentleman, Pee-wee Harris discovers
what he believes to be a sinister looking memorandum, and he becomes
convinced that the old gentleman is a spy. But the laugh is on
Pee-wee, as usual, for the donor of the book turns out to be an
author, and the suspicious memorandum is only a literary mark. The
author, however, is so pleased with the boys' patriotism that he loans
them his houseboat, in which they make the trip to their beloved
Temple Camp, which every boy who has read the TOM SLADE BOOKS will be
glad to see once more.
Roy Blakeley's Adventures in Camp
Roy Blakeley and his patrol are found in this book once more happily
established in camp. Roy and his friends incur the wrath of a land
owner, but the doughty Pee-wee saves the situation and the wealthy
landowner as well. The boys wake up one morning to find Black Lake
flooded far over its banks, and the solving of this mystery furnishes
some exciting reading.
Roy Blakeley, Pathfinder
Roy and his comrades, having come to Temple Camp by water, resolve to
make the journey home by foot. On the way they capture a leopard
escaped from a circus, which brings about an acquaintance with the
strange people who belong to the show. The boys are instrumental in
solving a deep mystery, and finding one who has long been missing.
