FIRST VOLUME
FOLLOWING THE BALL
Here is an up-to-date story presenting American boarding-school life and modern athletics. The scene will readily be recognized as at Exeter. Of course football is an important feature, and in tracing the development of the hero from a green player to an expert it might serve as a guide. Other branches of athletics are also finely dealt with. But it is far more than a football book. It is a story of character formation told in a most wholesome and manly way. In this development athletics play an important part, to be sure, but are only one feature in carrying the hero, “Dick Melvin,” on to a worthy manhood.

“A seasonable school and football story, by a writer who knows the game and knows boys as well. It is of the ‘Tom Brown’ type, an uplifting as well as a lively story.”—Advance, Chicago, Ill.

SECOND VOLUME
MAKING THE NINE
The cordial reception of the great football story, “Following the Ball,” which had the distinction of so fine a spirit in its development of the hero’s school life that not only the boys but their elders were enthusiastic over it, has led to this second book, in which baseball is sufficiently prominent to suggest the title. It is a pleasure for a publisher to present such a book as this, in every way worthy to continue the success of the previous volume. The special points of excellence are that the story is lively and worth telling, and the life presented is that of a real school, interesting, diversified, and full of striking incidents, while the characters are true and consistent types of American boyhood and youth. The athletics are technically correct, abounding in helpful suggestions, soundly and wisely given, and the moral tone is high and set by action rather than preaching.

Author of “My Friend Jim” and “Jack Tenfield’s Star”
Large 12mo. Cloth. Illustrated by W. Herbert Dunton. Price $1.00
“Another book equally worthy of a place in our Sunday-school libraries isTom Winstone, ‘Wide Awake,’by Martha James. It is a thorough-going boy’s book of the right sort,—full of life, bubbling over with high spirits and noble ambition; a most intelligent interpretation of boy life and character. The young hero of this narrative, equally efficient in athletics at school and in the harder school of manly sacrifice, is a character well worth knowing.”—Pilgrim Teacher, Boston.

Young Heroes of Wire and Rail
By ALVAH MILTON KERR
Illustrated by H. C. EDWARDS, J. C. LEYENDECKER, and others
12mo Cloth Price $1.25
This is a book of wonderfully vivid stories of railroad life, portraying the heroism of trainmen, telegraph operators, and despatchers, each story a complete drama in itself, with thrilling climax, and yet too truthful to be classed as sensational. It is by Alvah Milton Kerr, formerly a train-despatcher of long experience, and now a justly noted writer of railroad stories, who has brought together from many sources the most striking acts of heroism performed during the last quarter of a century of railroad activity, and has cast them in stories of singularly intense interest.Most of these stories first appeared in “McClure’s Magazine,” “The Youth’s Companion,” “Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post” and “Success;” which fact is a very strong guarantee of merit. No one who begins reading these stories in this finely printed, illustrated, and bound book will be likely to allow anything to interfere with their completion.“An ideal book for a young boy is ‘Young Heroes of Wire and Rail,’ and, indeed, the older folks who begin to read will continue to the end.”—Episcopal Recorder, Philadelphia.“The tone of the work is healthful and inspiring.”—Boston Herald.“They teach more bravery, unselfishness and forethought in a page than can be imparted in an hour of ‘ethical’ instruction in school.”—New York Times.“The tone of the stories is fine, showing unexpected bravery and courage in many of the characters.”—Delineator, New York.“A book that not only yields entertainment and healthy excitement, but reveals some of the possibilities always confronting railroad workers and train despatchers.”—Christian Register, Boston.“They are calculated to inspire boys to become manly, and incidentally they contain considerable valuable information.”—Newark News.
