This book is a continuation of the adventures of "The Rival

_The Young Section-hand_; OR, THE ADVENTURES OF ALLAN WEST. By BURTON E.
STEVENSON, author of "The Marathon Mystery," etc.
12mo, cloth, illustrated by L.J. Bridgman $1.50
Mr. Stevenson's hero is a manly lad of sixteen, who is given a
chance as a section-hand on a big Western railroad, and whose
experiences are as real as they are thrilling.
"It appeals to every boy of enterprising spirit, and at the same time
teaches him some valuable lessons in honor, pluck, and perseverance."
--_Cleveland Plain Dealer._
"This is a fine book for boys' reading, since it impresses a reader anew
with the honor and beauty of simple, heroic, seldom-remembered deeds of
men who do their duty as a matter of course."--_Christian Register._
"A thrilling story, well told, clean and bright. The whole range of
section railroading is covered in the story, and it contains information
as well as interest."--_New York Evening Post._
_Captain Jack Lorimer_. By WINN STANDISH. Square 12mo, cloth decorative.
Illustrated by Arthur W. Brown and Louis D. Gowing $1.50
Jack Lorimer, whose adventures have for some time been one of the
leading features of the Boston Sunday _Herald_, is the popular
favorite of fiction with the boys and girls of New England, and,
now that Mr. Standish has made him the hero of his book, he will
soon be a favorite throughout the country.
Jack is a fine example of the all-around American high-school boy.
He has the sturdy qualities boys admire, and his fondness for
clean, honest sport of all kinds will strike a chord of sympathy
among athletic youths.
"No story will appeal more strongly to the wide-awake young chaps
blossoming into manhood than 'Captain Jack Lorimer.' No reader of the
story, from ten to sixteen years of age, will follow his course through
these pages without absorbing some of the buoyancy and good nature which
Jack displays. He is a clean, wholesome young fellow, an honest,
energetic boy who loves sport of all kinds, and who is square in all his
dealings."--_Boston Herald._

This is a charming little story of a child whose father was
caretaker of the great castle of the Wartburg, where Saint
Elizabeth once had her home, with a fairy-tale interwoven, in which
the roses and the ivy in the castle yard tell to the child and her
playmate quaint old legends of the saint and the castle.
