  The Boy Scouts on the Range.

  Connected with the dwellings of the vanished race of cliff-dwellers wasa mystery. Who so fit to solve it as a band of adventurous Boy Scouts?The solving of the secret and the routing of a bold band of cattlethieves involved Rob Blake and his chums, including "Tubby" Hopkins, ingrave difficulties.

  There are few boys who have not read of the weird snake dance andother tribal rites of Moquis. In this volume, the habits of these fastvanishing Indians are explained in interesting detail. Few boys' bookshold more thrilling chapters than those concerning Rob's captivityamong the Moquis.

  Through the fascinating pages of the narrative also stalks, like a grimfigure of impending tragedy, the shaggy form of Silver Tip, the giantgrizzly. In modern juvenile writing, there is little to be found asgripping as the scene in which Rob and Silver Tip meet face to face.The boy is weaponless and,--but it would not be fair to divulge thetermination of the battle. A book which all Boy Scouts should secureand place upon their shelves to be read and re-read.
