FAR PAST THE FRONTIER
By JAMES A. BRADEN
The sub-title "Two Boy Pioneers" indicates the nature of this story—that it has to do with the days when the Ohio Valley and the Northwest country were sparsely settled. Such a topic is an unfailing fund of interest to boys, especially when involving a couple of stalwart young men who leave the East to make their fortunes and to incur untold dangers.
"Strong, vigorous, healthy, manly."—Seattle Times.
CONNECTICUT BOYS IN THE WESTERN RESERVE
By JAMES A. BRADEN
The author once more sends his heroes toward the setting sun. "In all the glowing enthusiasm at youth, the youngsters seek their fortunes in the great, fertile wilderness of northern Ohio, and eventually achieve fair success, though their progress is hindered and sometimes halted by adventures innumerable. It is a lively, wholesome tale, never dull, and absorbing in interest for boys who love the fabled life of the frontier."—Chicago Tribune.
THE TRAIL OF THE SENECA
By JAMES A. BRADEN
In which we follow the romantic careers of John Jerome and Return Kingdom a little farther.
These two self-reliant boys are living peaceably in their cabin on the Cuyahoga when an Indian warrior is found dead in the woods nearby. The Seneca accuses John of witchcraft. This means death at the stake if he is captured. They decide that the Seneca's charge is made to shield himself, and set out to prove it. Mad Anthony, then on the Ohio, comes to their aid, but all their efforts prove futile and the lone cabin is found in ashes on their return.
CAPTIVES THREE
By JAMES A. BRADEN
A tale of frontier life, and how three children—two boys and a girl—attempt to reach the settlements in a canoe, but are captured by the Indians. A common enough occurrence in the days of our great-grandfathers has been woven into a thrilling story.

THE FAIRY CHASER
"Telling of two boys who go into the vegetable and flower-raising business instead of humdrum commercial pursuits. The characters and situations are realistic."—PHILADELPHIA TELEGRAPH.
LITTLE DAME TROT

THE LITTLE WOMAN IN THE SPOUT
"This pleasing story may have been developed from real life, from real children, so true a picture does it portray of girlish life and sports."—GRAND RAPIDS HERALD.

PEGGY-ALONE
The chronicles of the Happy-Go-Luckys, a crowd of girls who did not depend upon riches for good times.
