James B. Hendryx

Author of ”The Promise,” ”The Law of the Woods,” etc.

_12. Over twenty ill.u.s.trations_

Mr. Hendryx, as he has ably demonstrated in his many well-known tales, knows his Northland thoroughly, but he has achieved a reputation as a writer possibly ”too strong” for the younger literary digestion. It is a delight, therefore, to find that he can present properly, in a capital story of a boy, full of action and adventure, and one in whom boys delight, the same thorough knowledge of people and customs of the North.

Connie Morgan with the Mounted

By

James B. Hendryx

Author of ”Connie Morgan in Alaska”

_Ill.u.s.trated._

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 rus.h.i.+ng 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.
