s, but he refused to
take a cent more. The remainder made just nine thousand dollars apiece
for each of the three other boys.

"I've lost a year's varsity work," said Peter, "but I guess it was
worth it. Nine thousand is more than I ever expect to make in a year
of medical practice. Besides, we know there are diamonds in that
country. Horace found them. Why can't we--"

"Shut up!" cried Fred.

"Take his money away from him!" exclaimed Horace. "I don't want to
hear any more of diamonds."

"--And why can't we make another expedition," continued Peter, "and
prospect for--" But Fred and Horace pounced on him, and after a
violent struggle got him down on the couch.

"Prospect for what?" cried Fred, sitting on his chest.

Dr. Tomlinson's Books

The American boy will never tire of reading tales of the early colonial
days and especially of the desperate encounters and struggles of the
colonists with the natives of the forest.

Dr. Tomlinson has read widely and has collected a mass of incident
through family tradition and otherwise, which he has skillfully
incorporated in the historical frameworks of several exceedingly
interesting and instructive stories. He has the knack of mixing
history with adventure in such a way as to make his young readers
absorb much information while entertaining them capitally. His
historical tales are filled with an enthusiasm which it is well to
foster in the heart of every healthy-minded and patriotic American boy.

The plots are all based upon events that actually occurred; and the boy
heroes play the part of men in a way to capture the hearts of all boy
readers. Dr. Tomlinson shows scrupulous regard for the larger truths
of history, and the same care that would naturally go into a book for
older readers.
