By HORATIO ALGER, Jr.
=Illustrated, 12mo. Cloth, 60 cents=
This story was penned by Mr. Alger some years before his death, but hasnever appeared in book form. Ben was a city newsboy, rather rough, butwith a heart of gold. He did a great service for a good-hearted farmer,and the latter took Ben home with him. The lad had never been in thecountry before, and his eyes were opened to a new world. Then the youthwas sent to a boarding school, where he made his way to the front amidmany difficulties. Mr. Alger's charm as a juvenile writer is so wellknown it is needless to mention it here, and this story is in his bestvein.
