Motor Rangers Series
By MARVIN WEST
OUTDOOR LIFE STORIES FOR MODERN BOYS
Cloth Bound Price, 50c per volume.
The Motor Rangers' Lost Mine.
A new series dealing with an idea altogether original in juvenilefiction,--the adventures of a party of bright, enterprising youngstersin a splendid motor car. Their first trip takes them to the dim andmysterious land of Lower California.
Naturally, as one would judge from the title, the lost mine, whichproves to be Nat Trevor's rightful inheritance,--occupies much of theinterest of the book. But the mine was in the possession of enemies sopowerful and wealthy that it taxed the boys' resources to the uttermostto overcome them. How they did so makes absorbing reading.
In this book also, the young motor rangers solve the mystery of thehaunted Mexican cabin, and exterminate for all time a strange terror ofthe mountains which has almost devastated a part of the peninsula.
The Motor Rangers too, have an exciting encounter with Mexican cowboys,which beginning comically, comes very near having a serious terminationfor all hands. Emphatically "third speed" books.

In no respect, savein price, can these be designated as cheap books; in manufacture,in literary finish, and in the clean, healthy, yet fascinating,nature of the stories they are destined to take rank with the worksof the masters of fiction for the modern youth. The first volumeis a narrative of school life and football, which, while in no waysensational, will cast a spell almost hypnotic upon every young reader,from which he will find it impossible to escape until he has readthrough to the last word of the last chapter. The tale of the strugglesof Ben Stone, a boy misunderstood, an outcast, a pariah, will excitethe sympathy of all; and his final triumph over adversity, the schemingof an enemy, and the seemingly malign rebuffs of fate, will be hailedwith joy.

Boys of Oakdale Academy By Morgan Scott
12mo., cloth. Illustrated. Price, 60c
This is a brisk, vigorous, snappy, story in which wintersports--snowshoeing, skating, rabbit hunting, and such--are features.In the tale Rodney Grant, a young Texas cowboy, appears at Oakdale andattends the academy, being adjudged an imposter by the New Englandlads, who entertain a mistaken notion that all Texans swagger andbluster and talk in the vernacular. As Grant is quiet and gentlemanlyin his bearing and will not, for some mysterious reason, take partin certain violent sports, they erroneously imagine him to be acoward; but eventually, through the demands of necessity and force ofcircumstances, the fellow from Texas is led to prove himself, whichhe does in a most effective manner, becoming, for the time being, atleast, the hero of the village. This is a story of vigorous, healthyboys and their likes and dislikes; it is brimming over with humannature and, while true to real life, is as fascinating as the mostimaginative yarn of adventure.
