In the months that had glided by since Major Conrad and his comrades had found new homes on the border many changes had come, and the onward march of civilization was heard around them, for new friends were daily welcomed in their midst and improvement was striding bravely forward. La Clyde, the gallant young officer, as the reader will be glad to know, married the girl of his heart, Sibyl Conrad. Rose Carter is now the wife of a sturdy settler, and Ruth Whitfield is also the mistress of a pleasant home in Riverside. Riverside is now a thriving little Western City, and there Buffalo Bill, the great scout, is always sure of a warm welcome. THE END. No. 172 of the BUFFALO BILL BORDER STORIES, entitled, “Buffalo Bill’s Blockhouse Siege,” by Colonel Prentiss Ingraham, tells of a mysterious company of red riders which the intrepid scout conquers and forces forever from the plains. _Adventure Stories_ _Detective Stories_ _Western Stories_ _Love Stories_ _Sea Stories_ All classes of fiction are to be found among the Street & Smith novels.
