Jack lorimer, whose adventures have for some time 

 been one of the leading features of the Boston Sunday 

 Herald^ is the popular favorite of fiction with the boys and 

 girls of New England, and, now that Mr. Standish has 

 made him the hero of his book, he will soon be a favorite 

 throughout the country. 



Jack is a fine example of the all-around American high- 

 school boy. He has the sturdy qualities boys admire, and 

 his fondness for clean, honest sport of all kinds will strike 

 a chord of sympathy among athletic youths. 



" Mb story will appeal more strongly to the wide-awake 

 young chaps blossoming into manhood than ' Captain Jack 

 Lorimer.' No reader of the story, from ten to sixteen years 

 of age, will follow his course through these pages without ab- 

 sorbing some of the buoyancy and good nature which Jack 

 displays. He is a clean, wholesome young fellow, an honest, 

 energetic boy who loves sport of all kinds, and who is square 

 in all his dealings,'- — Boston Herald.
