The acknowledged successor to Horatio Alger, Jr. A classic boys tale of courage and self reliance. A stirring tale of adventures in the snow-bound North with all of its many perils. Norman Stanley, Fred`s father, had been injured in a mining accident about six months before this story opens, and, though he was now somewhat improved, he could not walk without the aid of a crutch. The physician said he would eventually get entirely well, but the process seemed very slow, and at times Mr. Stanley was almost discouraged. The Stanley family, of which Fred was the only child, lived in the town of Piddock, California. It was not far from a mining region, and within a short distance of the coast. Fred has had to quit school to help earn a living for the family. Fred hears of a job driving the ore carts in a nearby community and heads out to look for employment. The story follows him through his many adventures as he tries to be responsible for his family income. Mr. Webster’s style is very much like that of the boy’s favorite author, the late lamented Horatio Alger, Jr. but his tales are more up to date. The stories are as clean as they are clever, and will prove of absorbing interest to boy’s everywhere. At the time of original publication Mr. Webster demanded that they be marketed at a price which would place them within the reach of all boys. CONTENTS I. IN NEEDY CIRCUMSTANCES II.

"How are you feeling this morning, father?" asked Fred Stanley as his parent came slowly into the dining-room, leaning heavily on a crutch. "Not so well, Fred. My leg pained me considerable last night, and I did not sleep much. You are up early, aren't you?" "Yes. I am going over to the new diggings and see if I can't get a job, so I want to start soon."
