  The Motor Rangers' Lost Mine.

  A new series dealing with an idea altogether original in juvenilefiction,--the adventures of a party of bright, enterprising youngstersin a splendid motor car. Their first trip takes them to the dim andmysterious land of Lower California.

  Naturally, as one would judge from the title, the lost mine, whichproves to be Nat Trevor's rightful inheritance,--occupies much of theinterest of the book. But the mine was in the possession of enemies sopowerful and wealthy that it taxed the boys' resources to the uttermostto overcome them. How they did so makes absorbing reading.

  In this book also, the young motor rangers solve the mystery of thehaunted Mexican cabin, and exterminate for all time a strange terror ofthe mountains which has almost devastated a part of the peninsula.

  The Motor Rangers too, have an exciting encounter with Mexican cowboys,which beginning comically, comes very near having a serious terminationfor all hands. Emphatically "third speed" books.

  The Border Boys on the Trail.

  There is little left of the romantic western life of which ourforefathers delighted to read and in which they not infrequently took apart. The author of this series has, however, taken to himself modernconditions in this interesting section of the country in a vital way.

  The pages of this book throb with the strenuous outdoor life andpastimes of the ranch and range. The volume is as vivid as a westernsunset and as lively as a bucking broncho. What boy will not want toread of the adventures of the ranchers and the boys in Grizzly Pass andthe strange strategy of Black Ramon--the Border cattle-rustler whichcame nearly costing them all their lives?

  But the adventures do not terminate at the annihilation of the bridgeby the rustler's gang. They elude pursuit for a time by this means butonly for a time. The beginning of the end of their depredations comeswhen Jack and his cowpuncher chum escape from the bell-tower of theold mission. From then on to the conclusion of the book events come asfast as the discharge of an automatic rifle, or the rattling executionof the long roll on a snare-drum. No boy should fail to read how theMexicans almost succeeded in releasing the pent-up waters of theirrigation dam and ruining a vast track of country. Thoroughly healthyin tone and appealing to manly standards the Border Boys are idealchums for the wholesome lads of to-day.
