THE END THE GO AHEAD BOYS

BY ROSS KAY.

I leave this rule for other's when I'm dead: Be always sure you're right—THEN GO AHEAD. —Davy Crockett's Motto.



The love of adventure is inborn in all normal boys. Action is almost a supreme demand in all the stories they read with most pleasure. Here is presented a series of rattling good adventure stories which every live "go ahead" boy will read with unflagging interest. There is action, dash and snap in every tale yet the tone is healthful and there is an underlying vein of resourcefulness and strength that is worth while.
