TO THE READER
Now that you have finished reading this story, we desire to call your attention to all the other volumes in this remarkable series for boys.
We feel that we have made a distinct find in Mr. Frank V. Webster, who is under contract to write exclusively for the Cupples & Leon Company. Mr. Webster’s style is very much like that of the late-lamented Mr. Alger, but his tales are all thoroughly up-to-date. This author, though still young, has been a great traveler, and therefore he knows exactly what he is writing about, be it a story of city or country life, a tale of the far west, or of the frozen north.
“How can you write such fine stories?” a boy once asked Mr. Webster.
“Oh, I guess it comes natural,” answered the author. “I have been through so much and seen so much, it seems as if I could go on telling stories forever.”
On the following pages we give the outlines of some of Mr. Webster’s stories. Read them—they will interest you.
