we
must leave to the reader to discover.
FALLING IN WITH FORTUNE
Or, The Experiences of a Young Secretary
This is a companion tale to "Out for Business," but complete in itself,
and tells of the further doings of Robert Frost as private secretary.
YOUNG CAPTAIN JACK:
Or, The Son of a Soldier
The scene is laid in the South during the Civil War, and the hero is a
waif who was cast up by the sea and adopted by a rich Southern planter.
NELSON THE NEWSBOY:
Or, Afloat in New York
Mr. Alger is always at his best in the portrayal of life in New York
City, and this story is among the best he has given our young readers.

Or, Robert Roscoe's Strange Cruise
A sea story of uncommon interest. The hero falls in with a strange
derelict--a ship given over to the wild animals of a menagerie.
JERRY, THE BACKWOODS BOY
Or, The Parkhurst Treasure
Depicts life on a farm of New York State. The mystery of the treasure
will fascinate every boy. Jerry is a character well worth knowing.
RANDY OF THE RIVER
Or, The Adventures of a Young Deckhand
Life on a river steamboat is not so romantic as some young people may
imagine. There is hard work, and plenty of it, and the remuneration is
not of the best. But Randy Thompson wanted work and took what was
offered. His success in the end was well deserved, and perhaps the
lesson his doings teach will not be lost upon those who peruse these
pages.
