] IN DEFENCE OF THE FLAG =A Boy's Adventures in Spain and Cuba in the War of 1898= Illustrated by W. F. STECHER 12mo Cloth $1.25 A story of action and adventure such as all healthy boys like, telling of a plucky young American who defended his country's flag against mobs in Spain and foemen in Cuba, and had many thrilling experiences. "Suffice it to say that he will be a lucky boy, with many a thrill before him, who finds this book in his Christmas stocking. Don is a hero after every boy's heart."--_Boston Herald._ WITH LAWTON AND ROBERTS =A Boy's Adventures in the Philippines and the Transvaal= Illustrated by C. CHASE EMERSON 12mo Cloth $1.25 The stirring adventures of a manly American boy who follows Lawton in his last campaigns, and by a singular train of circumstances has "moving accidents by flood and field," in two wars, with American soldiers, Filipino insurrectos, Malay pirates, English troopers, and Boer burghers. "Mr. Brooks presents vivid pictures of both wars, so widely separated. His pages are full of the swift moving incidents which boys love. Dull indeed must be the young reader whose interest flags."--_Boston Journal._ [Illustration: UNDER THE ALLIED FLAGS] UNDER THE ALLIED FLAGS =A Boy's Adventures in China During the Boxer Revolt= Illustrated by W.
