A story of action and adventure such as all healthy boys like, telling
of a plucky young American who defended his country's flag against
mobs in Spain and foemen in Cuba, and had many thrilling experiences.
"Suffice it to say that he will be a lucky boy, with many a
thrill before him, who finds this book in his Christmas
stocking. Don is a hero after every boy's heart."--_Boston
Herald._

=A Boy's Adventures in the Philippines and the Transvaal=
Illustrated by C. CHASE EMERSON 12mo Cloth $1.25
The stirring adventures of a manly American boy who follows Lawton in
his last campaigns, and by a singular train of circumstances has
"moving accidents by flood and field," in two wars, with American
soldiers, Filipino insurrectos, Malay pirates, English troopers, and
Boer burghers.
"Mr. Brooks presents vivid pictures of both wars, so widely
separated. His pages are full of the swift-moving incidents
which boys love. Dull indeed must be the young reader whose
interest flags."--_Boston Journal._
