Billy Wilson was one of the boys in a small settlement on the north coast of Lake Erie. He was full of fun, always ready for some boyish deviltry and the leader among his chums. The other side of his character was love of nature and animals, undaunted courage and love of fair dealing. He was afraid only of ghosts and even against those he felt secure with his rabbit’s-foot charm. His exploits are many and exasperating but he wins the heart of his stepmother and of the prettiest girl in the settlement and becomes instrumental in solving several mysteries and discovering a treasure.
“A satisfying story of outdoor life.”

Kent Graydon of the Windermere is a young Canadian engineer who has gone West and made good. Since his schoolboy days he has cherished the memory of Alleyne Milburne as his ideal of womanhood. Then one summer he meets her again in his own western country. He woos her ardently and it is not until he loses out to his rival of earlier days that he realizes that it is not she who embodies his ideals, but her cousin Claire, who is “honourable and generous, sportsmanlike and fair, sympathetic and womanly.”

“In a dozen chapters, Mr McLachlan, lecturer in Hellenistic Greek in the University of Manchester, discusses St Luke, the man of letters, the linguist, the editor, the theologian, the humorist, the letter writer, the reporter, the diarist, etc. The work gives in brief the views of German and English Protestants and Rationalists on every phase of the Lucan problem—authenticity, language, accuracy, doctrine and the like.”—Cath World
