When Captain King sets his hand to a boy’s story he is sure to be an ideal creator of heroes. Redskins and blue-jackets, and lovely girls and daring youngsters are in his dramatic company; camp-fires, blazing villages, rifle-reports, and narrow escapes. He is never coarse nor sensational, but with his sweeping style carries you on from start to finish like a stiff and wholesome breeze.
“They are just the stories to captivate the young reader.”—Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.“Captain Charles King has never written more captivating stories of frontier life than the two that are embraced in this neat volume just issued.”—San Francisco Bulletin.“Captain King has done many good things, but perhaps none better than these animated tales, which are full of Indians, good and bad, scouts, cowboys, and everything needful to keep a restless boy quiet on an evening.”—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.“The list of Captain King’s books for boys is in itself calculated to excite youthful imaginations and hold their attention unrelaxed to the close. These two latest stories contain all the striking features of its predecessors, the excitement, the fire, the geniality, the rapidity that have long delighted his large community of boy readers.”—Boston Courier.

Axel Ebersen,
The Graduate of Upsula. By A. Laurie.
12mo.Cloth, $1.50.
“It is a suggestive as well as an interesting story.”—Boston Literary World.
“Aside from the beauty of the story itself, which has the charm of a boyish character, nobly natural and naturally noble, the book is an able exposition of the Lingg system of medical gymnastics, and presents some authenticated cases of relief and permanent cure effected by a persistent and intelligent use of gymnastic exercises.”—Minneapolis Tribune.
Charlie Lucken at School and College.
By the Rev. H. C. Adams, M.A.
With eight full-page illustrations by J. Finnemore.12mo.Extra cloth, $1.50.
Mr. Adams has long distinguished himself as a writer of books for boys. In the present instance he has drawn a hero of the type which all boys love. Charlie Lucken, both at school and college, was forever getting into trouble, and forever getting out of it again by what seemed wonderful good fortune; but it was always his kind heart, his high principle, or his manly temper that first involved him in difficulties and afterwards brought him safely through them.
Maid Marian and Robin Hood.
By J. E. Muddock.
12mo.Cloth, $1.25.With twelve full-page illustrations by Stanley L. Wood.
“The personal courage, skill in archery, boldness of enterprise, and generous disposition of this famous outlaw of the twelfth century, have made him a favorite hero, especially with young people, through all the centuries. Robin Hood was a Saxon of noble descent, and was unjustly outlawed through the hatred of the Norman conquerors, after having been condemned to death and made his escape from the dungeon in which he was confined. He gathered around him in Sherwood Forest a band of more than a hundred men as bold as himself, and for many years baffled all attempts to capture him. He robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and suffered no woman to be oppressed, or otherwise molested. Friar Tuck, Little John, Will Scarlet, and others of the leaders of the merry men, figure in Mr. Muddock’s romance, and many of their daring deeds and exciting adventures are recounted. But the main interest centres around Robin Hood and the beautiful and brave Maid Marian.”—Boston Home Journal.
