At The Hall, a boys’ school, there is a set of boys known as the “Union of States,” to which admittance is gained by excelling in some particular the boys deem worthy of their mettle.
Rush Petriken, a hunchback boy, comes to The Hall, and rooms with Barnes, the despair of the entire school because of his prowess in athletics. Petriken idolizes him, and when trouble comes to him, the poor crippled lad gladly shoulders the blame, and is expelled. But shortly before the end of the term he returns and is hailed as “little Rhody,” the “capitalest State of all.”

BIGELOW BOYS
By Mrs. A. F. RANSOM
Illustrated by Henry Miller
Four boys, all bubbling over with energy and love of good times, and their mother, an authoress, make this story of a street-car strike in one of our large cities move with leaps and bounds. For it is due to the four boys that a crowded theatre car is saved from being wrecked, and the instigators of the plot captured.
Mrs. Ransom is widely known by her patriotic work among the boys in the navy, and she now proves herself a friend of the lads on land by writing more especially for them.
