NEW STORIES FOR BOYS

Deering of Deal

ByLATTA GRISWOLD. With illustrations by George C. Harper.Cloth, 12mo, $1.25 netThis is the kind of a story which keeps boys up late at night to finish. Tony Deering, the hero, is just good enough and just bad enough to appeal to every lad from twelve to twenty—and to make some of the lads’ fathers brighten up a bit, too. Tony goes to Deal School; the reader meets him upon his entrance to the first form and he follows him for three or four years through hazing episodes, football games and other school contests, debates and secret organization fights, forbidden spreads and temporary disgraces, to his graduation as one of the most popular fellows the school has ever produced.
