The Golden Days is a handsome and mostentertaining publication for the youth of the country. Its sketches,stories, anecdotes and general fund of bright reading matter is such asexcites the vivid imagination of the young, without leaving a trace ofwild and unbridled adventure to torture their minds to a longing forborder acts of cowboy heroism.

"Mr. Gammon had promised to look to it that day; but he so seldom didas he would talk that we did not believe he had been near it. If it wasso, every life on the train was in peril, and, as I have said, it wasthen time for it to come along.

Lee had for some time thought he had better get out of the Traveler,if he could only see his way to do so. But he said:
