most remarkable trip to the far West. Two weeks after the coming in of the first well the four Rover boys returned to their homes in New York City. There an agreeable surprise awaited them. Gif and Spouter had come down from Lake George to pay them a visit. "Say, this is just all right!" cried Jack, as the lads shook hands all around. "There is another surprise coming this evening," said Mary. "But we're not going to tell you what it is." That surprise proved to be the coming of Ruth and May. As yet Ruth had to wear dark glasses, but she said that the eye specialist had told her that these could be discarded in a week or two. "You don't know how thankful I am that your eyes are coming around all right," said Jack, as he caught both her hands. "It's the best news in the world, Ruth--far better than that big oil well coming in on our place in Texas." "I am thankful, too, Jack," she answered. "And doubly thankful that you haven't had to go through what I did with your eyes." "I guess Gabe Werner has got his deserts," put in Randy. "His father is sinking all his money in those good-for-nothing wells on the Spell claim." That night the young folks had something of a party, and it is perhaps needless to say that every one of them enjoyed it thoroughly. Ruth, of course, had to be careful of herself, and could not dance, but Jack gave her a good deal of his company, and with this she seemed quite content. Then followed a week or more in which the young folks went out on numerous outings, both in the city and elsewhere. Then all motored up to Valley Brook Farm, there to spend some time with Grandfather Rover and Aunt Martha and Uncle Randolph before returning to school. "Well, it's certainly been a great Summer, after all!" remarked Fred. "It sure has!" returned Andy. "And we got quite a lot of fun out of it," added his twin. "Fun, and a good deal of information," said Jack. "It certainly paid us to visit The Land of Luck." THE END BOOKS BY ARTHUR M.
