It tells how they get their start in life by an act of service, and how clean in thought, clear in head, with courage and brawn, they win their way, starting as market gardeners and ending as owners of a valuable mine.

It tells how “Sam Morgan’s Boy,” well known to readers of Mr. Hendryx’s “Connie Morgan in Alaska,” daringly rescued a man who was rushing to destruction on an ice floe and how, in recognition of his quick-wittedness and nerve, he was made a Special Constable in the Northwest Mounted Police, with the exceptional adventures that fell to his lot in that perilous service. It is a story of the northern wilderness, clean and bracing as the vigorous, untainted winds that sweep over that region; the story of a boy who wins out against the craft of Indians and the guile of the bad white man of the North; the story of a boy who succeeds where men fail.
