A STORY OF A BOY'S VIM AND GRIT.
By LIEUT. LIONEL LOUNSBERRY.
A capital story of what can be accomplished by a boy of ability and courage. Rob Ranger goes West to assist his uncle in the management of a mine. But he has great difficulty in finding his uncle, who has mysteriously disappeared. He sets out to locate him. In this effort Rob meets with all sorts of exciting adventures, and is more than once in great danger at the hands of lawless men. He comes near to failure at times, but finally wins out by means of his cleverness and indomitable pluck. In the end he rescues his uncle from a band of outlaws and saves a large treasure, which those outlaws were trying to obtain. Rob's horse, Silent Sam, and his dog, Trumps, play an important part in the story, and cannot fail to win admiration and affection. Rob himself is a hero whose example of courage, honesty and manliness can be followed with profit. There is not a dull page from beginning to end of the book, and no better story for bright, healthy boys could well be imagined.
