 ventures, more patriotic devotion, or more 

 charming bravery. No boy will remain un- 

 changed by the reading this book. It appeals 

 to the red blood in one's makeup. It fur- 

 nishes an outlet for the forces that need e.\, 

 pression in every growing boy. It points the 

 way to heroic achievement. It restores ori- 

 entation to the lad who has lost his way.
