PREFACE

The love of adventure is inborn in all normal boys. Action is almost a
supreme demand in the stories they read with most pleasure. Recognizing
this primary demand, in this tale I have endeavored to keep in mind this
requisite and at the same time to avoid sensational appeals. The unusual
is not always the improbable. The Go Ahead Boys are striving to be
active without being unduly precocious or preternaturally endowed.

ROSS KAY.
