most unhurt. Now all the employees
and many passengers gathered about the engineer. The station master held
Guerin's head upon his knee, while Moran made a hasty examination of his
hurt. There was scarcely a bone in his body that was not broken, but he
was still alive. He opened his eyes slowly, and looked about. "I'm
cold!" he said distinctly. Patsy held his white light close to the face
of the wounded man. His eyes seemed now to be fixed upon something far
away. "Mercy, but I'm cold!" he said pathetically. Now all the women
were weeping, and there were tears in the eyes of most of the men.
"Raise him up a little," said Moran. "It's getting dark," said the dying
man, "Oh, _so_ dark! It must be the snow--" and he closed his eyes
again--"snow--on--the headlight."

THE END

_Each, Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, $1.50._

THE STORY OF THE RAILROAD.

_By_ CY WARMAN, _author of "The Express Messenger," etc. With Maps, and
many Illustrations by B. West Clinedinst and from Photographs_.

As we understand it, the editor's ruling idea in this series has not
been to present chronology or statistics or set essays on the social and
political development of the great West, but to give to us vivid
pictures of the life and the times in the period of great development,
and to let us see the men at their work, their characters, and their
motives. The choice of an author has been fortunate. In Mr. Warman's
book we are kept constantly reminded of the fortitude, the suffering,
the enterprise, and the endurance of the pioneers. We see the glowing
imagination of the promoter, and we see the engineer scouting the plains
and the mountains, fighting the Indians, freezing and starving, and
always full of a keen enthusiasm for his work and of noble devotion to
his duty. The construction train and the Irish boss are not forgotten,
and in the stories of their doings we find not only courage and
adventure, but wit and humor.--_The Railroad Gazette._

THE STORY OF THE COWBOY.

_By_ E. HOUGH, _author of "The Singing Mouse Stories," etc. Illustrated
by William L. Wells and C. M. Russell_.

Mr. Hough is to be thanked for having written so excellent a book. The
cowboy story, as this author has told it, will be the cowboy's fitting
eulogy. This volume will be consulted in years to come as an authority
on past conditions of the far West. For fine literary work the author is
