In his present book are tales of the bear, the bat, the seal, the moose, rabbit and other animals written in his usual vivid style.
"A great book for boys of all ages, and one that could have been written only by Charles G. D. Roberts."—Boston Times.

Gold Must Be Tried by Fire
By RICHARD AUMERLE MAHER
AUTHOR OF "THE SHEPHERD OF THE NORTH."
From the opening chapter when Daidie Grattan revolts at the "eternal grind," defiantly destroys a valuable piece of machinery in the factory where she is employed, and runs out into the open, this story is brimful of action and character. In The Shepherd of the North Mr. Maher demonstrated his ability to create tense situations. Here his skill is once again seen and in addition he makes the reader acquainted with a number of interesting people, not the least of whom are Daidie herself and her ardent lover.
