=Morgan, the Jersey Spy.= A Story of the Siege of Yorktown in
1781. By JAMES OTIS. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"The two lads who are utilized by the author to emphasize the
details of the work done during that memorable time were real
boys who lived on the banks of the York river, and who aided the
Jersey spy in his dangerous occupation. In the guise of fishermen
the lads visit Yorktown, are suspected of being spies, and put
under arrest. Morgan risks his life to save them. The final
escape, the thrilling encounter with a squad of red coats, when
they are exposed equally to the bullets of friends and foes, told
in a masterly fashion, makes of this volume one of the most
entertaining books of the year."--=Inter-Ocean.=
=The Young Scout:= The Story of a West Point Lieutenant. By
EDWARD S. ELLIS. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
The crafty Apache chief Geronimo but a few years ago was the most

in a tale of thrilling interest, all the incidents of Geronimo's
last raid. The hero is Lieutenant James Decker, a recent graduate
of West Point. Ambitious to distinguish himself the young man
takes many a desperate chance against the enemy and on more than
one occasion narrowly escapes with his life. In our opinion Mr.
Ellis is the best writer of Indian stories now before the public.
