=The Boy Scouts on the Range.=
Connected with the dwellings of the vanished race of cliff-dwellers was
a mystery. Who so fit to solve it as a band of adventurous Boy Scouts?
The solving of the secret and the routing of a bold band of cattle
thieves involved Rob Blake and his chums, including "Tubby" Hopkins, in
grave difficulties.
There are few boys who have not read of the weird snake dance and other
tribal rites of Moquis. In this volume, the habits of these fast
vanishing Indians are explained in interesting detail. Few boys' books
hold more thrilling chapters than those concerning Rob's captivity among
the Moquis.
Through the fascinating pages of the narrative also stalks, like a grim
figure of impending tragedy, the shaggy form of Silver Tip, the giant
grizzly. In modern juvenile writing, there is little to be found as
gripping as the scene in which Rob and Silver Tip meet face to face. The
boy is weaponless and,--but it would not be fair to divulge the
termination of the battle. A book which all Boy Scouts should secure and
place upon their shelves to be read and re-read.

Bungalow Boys Series
BY
DEXTER J. FORRESTER
NEW MODERN STORIES OF OUTDOOR LIFE.
Cloth Bound Price, 50¢ per volume.
=THE BUNGALOW BOYS.=
The first of a new up-to-date series concerning the absorbing doings of
Tom and Jack Dacre and their chums of Audubon Academy. The lure of the
big woods and the call of the rod and gun are delightfully set forth in
these volumes.
The first one deals with life in the wilder parts of Maine. Wild as the
region into which the boys penetrate, accompanied by their professor,
turns out to be, they find that there are bold, unscrupulous enemies
even there. Nate Trulliber and his son Jeff prove to be formidable
neighbors in more senses than one.
For instance the lost lead vein which is one of the objects of the boys'
quest is associated in a strange way with this Trulliber and his evil
companions. The plots of these men are, however, frustrated in a clever
manner by the boys; but not without their involving themselves in grave
difficulties. Danger too threatens them, as notably when Tom is
imprisoned in the mountain cave with every prospect of being speedily
drowned if help does not soon come. The source from which aid finally
proceeds is as mysterious as the character of the lonely hermit who for
a time is mistaken by the boys for an enemy. Not until the end of the
book do they learn how utterly they were mistaken, in his character.
