With 12 page Illustrations by WAL PAGET. 6_s._

Mr. Henty’s work. Terence O’Connor, up to the time of the opening of

parents who do not know and buy him for their boys should be ashamed

=Redskin and Cow-boy=: A Tale of the Western Plains. By G. A. HENTY.

jovial cow-boys.”--_Times._

HENTY. Illustrated by WALTER PAGET. 5_s._
“The best of this year’s Henty. His narrative is more interesting than
