To Dirk Henkemans,
my best friend. I am
lost without you.
FOREWORD

he video game industry is unique in that it regularly incorporates every

T major discipline of computer science. From 3D graphics and artificial in-

telligence to operating system theory and database design, if you are
designing a commercial video game, you will eventually run into problems from
each of these fields. Some of these fields mean working with specialized languages,
but ultimately the two languages that are as common to the game industry as
crunch time, caffeinated beverages, and pizza are C and C++. Despite a few com-
mercial games written in Java (which is very similar to C++), almost every game
that you play is written in either C or C++. It doesn’t matter whether the game runs
on a PC, a game console, or even an arcade machine, chances are that C or C++
routines are at its heart. Even in cases when performance dictates that a routine
needs to be written in assembly language to squeeze out more speed, it is common
practice to first write the routine in C or C++.
During my years in the industry, I have interviewed over one hundred applicants
for programming positions and have read resumes from thousands more. Through
all of this, I continually look for three things in a strong candidate. The first is
strong problem-solving skills. With constantly changing technologies and fierce
competition, game programming is always throwing new problems at us. Conse-
quently, excellent problem-solving skills are not only a luxury, but they are also a
requirement. Second, a good candidate has been exposed to the entire spectrum
of computer science disciplines. Even when programmers have specialized in one
area, the solution to a problem often lies in a field outside their area of expertise.
Finally, I look for strong C/C++ skills. C/C++ skills are to a game programmer what
paint and brushes are to a painter. They are the tools of the trade and, as such,
they need to be finely honed.
Although C++ is widely used as a teaching language, this wasn’t always the case. I
can still recall my first exposure to C programming. Until that time, all of my
programming had been in Basic (my first video game was written in it), Pascal, and
Fortran. I had heard of C; according to rumor, it was going to be the language to
know. I was looking forward to my next computer science course: “Introduction
to Programming Languages.” I assumed that the course would teach me how to
program in C. I was wrong. The only reference to C in the entire course was, “Here
is your assignment. Write it in C. Hand it in on Wednesday.” “Okay,” I thought. “At least one
of the course textbooks is about C.” As it turned out, that textbook was about accessing UNIX
operating system information from the C language. That was useful if I was interested in
accessing process IDs or using shell commands, but not a great help if I wanted to know how
to read a file or write a function.
Somehow I managed to struggle through the assignment and to actually learn something
while I did it. It wasn’t the best way to learn a new language, but it was better than my first
exposure to C++. That was during my first job after graduation. I was working for the univer-
sity’s athletic department writing software for various research projects. One of the projects
that I inherited from the previous programmer was only half complete and was written in
C++. Once again, I had before me a sink-or-swim proposition. This time, I had access to a
function reference that explained only the syntax of the language, not how to use it. I would
have killed for the book that you are currently holding in your hands. Well, maybe not killed,
but I certainly can’t overestimate the importance of learning C++ in such an organized and
straightforward manner. As you read this book, please have some sympathy for those of us
who didn’t have the fine learning tool you have.

he amount of time and effort involved in the process of publishing a book

T is considerable, and this book is no exception. As only one cog in the vast
machine of effort involved, it is difficult for me to fully appreciate all of
the hands that have touched this edition. However, without the ambition and drive
of my original co-author, Dirk Henkemans, this book would have remained an
unrequited dream. His drive and perseverance taught me that seemingly impos-
sible things, like writing a book, were not only possible, but readily attainable.
I thank Course Technology PTR for making this book possible and Mitzi Koontz,
my acquisitions editor, for all of her efforts.
I am deeply indebted to Keith Davenport, the technical editor, whose careful eye
ensured all of the code in this book works as it should.
Jenny Davidson, the project and copy editor, was an exceptional resource through-
out the project and her careful editing improved this work by orders of magnitude.
I extend a special thank you to everyone else who played a role in preparing this
book for publication, including Value Chain International, layout; Sara Gullion,
proofreader; and Sharon Shock, indexer. All of you played a big role in making this
book what it is.
We give praise to Scott Greig, the lead programmer at BioWare Corp. and the
author of this book’s foreword. Scott, you are our idol. Without you, who could we
aspire to be?
I am deeply thankful for the scrutinizing eye of Jen Janzen whose talent for editing
is unrivaled. Every line she touches is improved by orders of magnitude.
Finally, I’d like to give thanks to my parents, for putting up with and supporting
me all of these years.

 “I’m Hank Elmore, stage driver,” said the second man, reaching
out his hand to the German.
“You haf peen in more danger righdt now as in eeny holdt-oop,”
the baron told him; “vhen I gand’t seen you, I am come mighdy nigh
shooding you. Why you make der sneak?”
“Feared o’ the Utes,” said Elmore. “Where’s Cody? We was huntin’
fer his party.”
“I am some uff his barty.”
“Yes, I know it; where’s the others?”
“Righdt ofer dhere. Nomat is vatching on der righdt site uff der
gamp, unt Vilt Pill on der lefdt, unt Pill Petts on der odder, unt me
here. Cody is scoudting roundt, unt saidt he vos going into der
willage. From der noises I haf peen hearing I t’ink, py yiminy, dey
musdt haf sbalped him alreaty.”
“Yit you stay right hyer?”
“Idt iss orders. Ve opey orders, uff somepoty gits kilt. Oddervise,
uff Cody iss nodt kilt unt comes py dhis blace, he tond’t findt us
here, unt dhere iss a mix-oop. Notting iss vorser as a mix-oop in der
night. You hav somepoty caming pehint you—huh?”
“Thar will be a crowd in the mornin’,” said Dugan. “I tell ye thar’s
the biggest skeer goin’ on down in Blossom Range as ever ye see,
’count o’ the Utes chargin’ that crowd and killin’ Shepard. I tried to
git a posse to come out to-night, but I couldn’t make it; nobody had
the sand. Elmore said he’d come with me, and we’re hyer.”
“Cody vill pe glad to seen you—yaw. He vants more men as he has
got.”
“Where will we find the rest of your crowd?” asked Dugan.
“Go righdt aheadt. Vhen you have gone tventy yardts or so you
petter call oudt, mitout too mooch noise, so dot you don’t git shodt.”
They were about to move on.
 “But, in attition,” said the German, “I vouldt pe bleased uff vun of
you couldt dake my blace standting here, as I am getting so mooch
exercise uff my mindt apoudt Cody dot I shouldt like to make an
inwestigadion. Tond’t vorgidt idt.”
They moved on, and soon he heard them speaking with Bill Betts
and Nomad.
In a little while footsteps rustled again, and the baron was about
to call out, when Bill Betts announced his presence and came
forward.
“I’m gittin’ that worked up over the racket goin’ on in ther village
thet I want ter see what it means,” he said.
“Yoost der same here. Cody iss in drouble, unt I knowed idt.”
“Sounds like it, don’t it? What I’m most afeard of is that the
bloody Utes air murderin’ Gorilla Jake.”
“Unt maype Penson!”
“I don’t keer fer Benson. But Jake is my meat. Me and Brother Jim
wants that reward fer arrestin’ him.”
“Vale, you don’t can’t gidt it now, uff dhey kill him.”
“We might. I’d like to see about it. And as Cody must be havin’
trouble, I’d like you to go with me, so’s we two kin look into things.”
The baron shook his head.
“Orders iss orders! I am commandedt to sday righdt here.”
“I know Cody said that, but Dugan is coming right over hyer to
watch at this p’int. He told me he would. I asked Nomad to go with
me, and he said he wouldn’t, though I could see that he was
mortally skeered up about Buffler.”
“You ditn’t ask Vildt Pill?”
“No.”
 They were silent a moment, listening to the unearthly racket in the
Ute village.
“Thar’s another thing stingin’ me all up,” Bill Betts admitted.
“Vot iss?”
“I’m harborin’ ther oncomfortable feelin’ that Brother Jim is over in
that village.”
“He vendt to der town.”
“I have a feelin’ that he didn’t, and that he’s now in trouble. You
see, he’s as anxious as me to git hold of Gorilla Jake. I askt Dugan
and Elmore if they met up with him, and they said they didn’t.”
“Idt iss not proof dot he ditn’t go to der town.”
“I know it ain’t. But didn’t you ever have a presenterment, baron?”
“Many dimes, vhen I am asleeb; but odder beoples call idt a
nighdtmares.”
“It is a feelin’.”
“Yaw! Idt iss a offul veeling. I haf hadt him. Vonce diss nighdtmare
vot climbed indo my pedt vos redt all ofer, unt I hollered yoost like a
horse. I am sveadting yidt, venever I t’ink apoudt idt.”
“You don’t understand me, but it don’t make any difference; the
question is, will you go with me? I’m settin’ out right now for the Ute
village. Hyer is yer chance fer excitement, baron.”
The “excitement” appeal seldom failed to move Baron von
Schnitzenhauser. He would have been willing to rove half round the
world to find some unusual form of it. For a moment longer only he
hesitated.
“Dhis site uff der camp is avay frum der Inchuns, unt Dugan iss to
come here soon. Yaw! I will go mit you. I am dot anxious apoudt
Cody I gan’t standt idt eeny longker. Ledt der vays, unt I am mit
you. As for der Utes, raus mit ’em. Cody iss maype needting rescuink
dhis minude.”
 Having made up his mind to accompany Bill Betts on this wild
excursion to the Ute village, the baron set out forthwith, tramping at
Betts’ heels with exceeding care. He had been wanting to see for
himself what was happening, for such infernal Indian yelling he had
never heard in all his wide experience. He was genuinely anxious,
too, about Buffalo Bill. He justified his disobedience of the latter’s
orders by this feeling of anxiety, though he knew well enough that if
Cody’s wish could be ascertained, Nomad would have been selected
to go to the village, if any one went at all. Buffalo Bill trusted the old
trapper as he did no one else except Wild Bill Hickok.
No difficulty was experienced in keeping to a straight line—that
wild howling would have guided one through Stygian darkness. The
only thing was to guard against stumbling and falling. There was
little likelihood that they would be heard, because of the Indian
uproar.
“Sounds like ther infernal regions has heaved themselves right out
upon the yearth,” Bill Betts observed when they stopped on nearing
the commotion and noise. “D’y’ ever hear anything like it?”
“Der nearest,” said the baron, “iss vhen my vife gif me a biece uff
her mindt der second day after ve ar-re marriet.”
“Wow! It must er been a heavy piece!”
“Vell, you haf heardt a door preaking down, unt a stick uff vood
hammering on idt. Dot vos my vife drying to gidt at me into der
room vare I haf run. Also-o, she vos yelling for der bolice.”
“You must have had a happy married life, Schnitz.”
“Yaw! Der fairst day idt voss vlatirons, der secondt day idt vos
proomsdicks unt rolling bins, unt der nexdt day idt——”
“Wow!” Betts broke in. “Lissen ter that. We’ve got to git nearer.”
“Nearer idt iss. I am mit you.”
They were not content until they were close up by the lodges.
Then, as they still could not see well enough, they crossed the line
into the village.
“Keep close by me, Schnitz, and be ready fer trouble and to cut
and run if we have to. See that lodge off thar? It’s whar the yellin’ is
fiercest. Sounds like killin’ men thar, don’t it? I have a ingrowin’
feelin’ that Brother Jim is clost about that spot.”
The baron, who had been stooping, stood up and stared off in the
direction indicated.
A leaping fire near it showed the lodge and the swarming, painted
Indians.
“Thar’s a temperance lesson fer ye!” said Betts. “Shows what
whisky will do.”
“Ach! Vhisky iss no goot.”
“I’m goin’ to git clost enough to see if Jim is in the midst of that.
You keep by me. Don’t fergit that I’ve got my umbreller gun. We’re
goin’ to git down now and sneak along behind it. Thar’s bowlders big
and little everywhars you look. Set this umbreller open on the
ground, and in this pore light you couldn’t tell it frum a bowlder. We
can take advantage of that fact; it’s why I like the old gun. Besides,
if anybody comes toward us, I can drap him with it, and he won’t
know whar the bullet come from. You jest keep close at my heels.”
Slipping to the ground, Bill Betts spread open his umbrella gun,
and he and the baron got behind it.
The baron then saw that around the handle—which was the gun—
where it passed through the umbrella there were openings, so that
through them he and Betts could look out. Through those openings,
also, Betts could aim the gun.
“The old thing is chock-a-block with ca’tridges, as I call ’em,” said
Betts. “I kin mow down half a dozen reds without havin’ to reload,
and I got plenty more ca’tridges in my pockets. Now, we’ll git closer.”
Pushing the open umbrella carefully ahead of him and moving
slowly, Betts made a cautious approach to the lodge where the
howling Utes were seen.
They were stopped in this perilous advance by seeing the rear of
the lodge break open suddenly and Gorilla Jake come rolling out,
dragging with him a number of Utes. Though he was painted like the
Indians, Bill Betts knew him at once.
“Wow!” Betts breathed. “See that—see it?”
“I am seening idt.”
“Thar he goes down, with Injuns right on top o’ him; they’re goin’
ter kill him. Would you open on ’em if you was me?”
The German caught Betts by the arm.
“Dond’t dooded idt!” he whispered. “Idt vouldt pe our finishment.”
“But they’re killin’ him, I reckon.”
“Yaw! Idt looks like idt.”
“And if they finish him, how am I to git that reward?”
“You von’dt gidt eeny uff idt, Misder Petts, uff you make a
foolishness mit yourselluf righdt now. I am vondering dot dey ton’dt
seen us.”
Then the German saw Tim Benson leap out of the lodge entrance
and go scampering in the other direction. Betts caught sight of him,
too.
“Thar goes Benson,” Betts whispered, his hands shaking.
“Yaw! I seen him. Budt I ain’dt vanting to foller him dhis minude.
Vot I am loogking vor iss Puffalo Pill. You ton’dt seen Cody?”
“No, I don’t see him.”
They beheld the “finish” of Gorilla Jake, to the great grief of Bill
Betts. The Indians had killed the apelike man without mercy, simply
because he could not furnish them more whisky.
A little after that the two crouching behind the umbrella beheld
the scalp of the unfortunate man elevated on a lance before the
lodge, with the drunken Indians dancing and howling round it.
“Gives me the creeps!” commented Bill Betts. “I’m beginnin’ to
think that Jim didn’t come hyer.”
“Budt Cody dit!” whispered the German.
“Yit he may have got out before this happened.”
“Yaw, I am hobing so.”
Bill Betts’ keen eyes beheld sneaking forms near the outer lodges.
He stared at them. What had seemed but one man became suddenly
two, when the blanket round them dropped down.
“White men!” he gasped. “I’m betting one of ’em is Jim Betts. He’s
that reckless he’s allus runnin’ inter danger.”
“Unt der odder iss maype Cody, who is yoost as reckless. Now,
you unt me——”
“B’ jings, I believe they’re comin’ round this way. If one o’ them
men is Brother Jim I’ll roast him fer runnin’ hisself into danger like
this.”
The “bowlder,” which the umbrella seemed to be, began to move
slowly backward, the men concealed by it crawfishing toward the
outer lodges.
“I hate dog-goned bad to have to go and leave Gorilla Jake!” said
Betts.
“Budt he iss dead.”
“I know it, but the reward said ‘dead or alive.’”
The reckless men did not get safely out of the village without
trouble. When they were still some distance from the outermost
lodge an Indian dog came toward them, sniffing. Suddenly the dog
began to bark.
“Freeze!” said Betts.
“Yaw! I am a piece uff ice.”
 An Indian appeared and called to the yelping dog.
“Wow! See that?” whispered Betts.
“I am hearing idt.”
Encouraged by the Indian, the dog made a barking rush at the
dark umbrella.
“The Injun thinks this is a bowlder,” said Betts, “but the dog knows
better.”
“Yaw! He knows idt mit his nose.”
“Shall I let him have it?”
The dog settled the question by making a furious rush upon the
bowlder.
The finger of Bill Betts clutched round the stock of the umbrella
handle in a nervous grip; a dull click sounded, and the dog, yelping
its last, fell dead in its tracks.
The Ute stared in wildest astonishment, then ran to the dog,
which was thirty feet or more from the bowlder.
“Now he vill gome on unt seen us,” whispered the German.
The mystified Indian, after stooping for a moment over the dog,
advanced toward the “bowlder,” probably thinking some one was
behind it, yet puzzled because he had heard no gun.
The dull click sounded again, and the Indian reeled backward with
a yell, his right arm dropping at his side. He yelled again; then
began to run toward the dancing Indians.
“The bowlder’s got to move back ag’in,” said Bill Betts. “Ye’re
seein’ now the uses of a gun what don’t seem ter be a gun. I reckon
this ole umbreller has saved more’n a dozen lives fer me; I’d been
killed that many times if I hadn’t had it.”
“Vun more life idt haf safed you to-nighdt—huh?”
 “You bet you! Hitch back fast’s ye kin, Schnitz; thar’ll be more
Injuns whar that’n stood in a little while. He’s reached the dancers
and is spreadin’ the news thar.”
Some of the dancers stopped their whirling and howling and
began to run toward the spot where the dog had been killed and the
Ute had received a shattered arm. The injured Ute led the way,
holding his bleeding arm with his left hand.
“Now we haf got to make der slide.”
“Yes, it’s a lively skedaddle fer us. Up goes ther umbreller. Now,
jump fer it.”
The umbrella closed with a snap, and the two men whom it had
concealed sprang to their feet and beat a hasty retreat out of the
village before the staring eyes of the astounded Utes.
But the Utes, getting their wits together, followed, howling like a
crazy mob.
As the baron and Bill Betts leaped into the darkness beyond the
farthest lodge they heard the voices of Buffalo Bill and Jim Betts.
“Right this way,” said the scout.
“Come a-b’ilin’, Brother Bill!” Jim Betts called.
The four men came together, then beat a quick retreat.
Before the camp was reached the Betts brothers were quarreling,
each charging the other with foolish recklessness.
 CHAPTER XXX.
THE CAPTURE OF BENSON.

When morning came a considerable force arrived from Blossom

Range. It was composed of the most courageous men of the town,
and they were well armed.
Buffalo Bill, taking command of this force, moved on the village of
the Utes. But there was now no one in the village who sought to
oppose him. The warriors who had howled and danced throughout
the night lay in a stupor and were helpless; several warriors were
dead. The woman and children, with the older men, and such of the
braves as had not been able to get enough of the doctored whisky
to hurt them, were alone able to meet the force of the scout and
talk intelligibly.
They were dreadfully frightened by this array of fighting men from
the town, and seemed ready to make any promises demanded. They
were not to blame, they said, for what had happened. The white
men who had brought the whisky should alone be blamed. One of
the white men who did it was dead, the other had fled from the
place.
But the body of Gorilla Jake could not be found. This, the Indians
explained, was because it had been burnt on the bonfire the Utes
had built and kept roaring through the greater part of the night.
Old Iron Bow was in a stupor, from which he was aroused with
difficulty. Even then he could give no satisfactory account of what
had happened. But he and some of the worst of the warriors were
placed under arrest by Dugan, and were taken down to the Blossom
Range jail.
 Buffalo Bill and his friends searched the Ute village through and
through, but were not able to find Tim Benson.
“He’s a feller yer cain’t never ketch,” said Nomad.
Buffalo Bill did not side with this view.
He sent orders everywhere, which blocked all the trails leading
from Blossom Range and the country surrounding it, and sent
messages again to all the surrounding towns and mining camps.
“I’ll get him yet,” he said in serene confidence. “You see, he is
probably now in the hills, or else has come right back into Blossom
Range. If he is in Blossom Range it must be our work to see that he
don’t get out again. If he is out in the hills he will starve there, so
will have to come in.”
But old Nomad had seen the hopes of the scout baffled so often
by the clever road agent that he had become pessimistic on the
subject of the capture of Tim Benson.
Nevertheless, the old trapper did not relax his efforts. Buffalo Bill
never had better lieutenants than Nomad, Wild Bill, and the baron.
They gave their strength and time night and day to watching and
shadowing. Wild Bill kept a close watch on all the gaming places of
the town, knowing that Benson was a notorious gamester, and
would be found in such places if he felt that he could visit them
safely.
Benson’s ability at disguising was not forgotten. So every man and
woman leaving the town was subjected to an examination.
It was bad for the business of the town, but it brought results.
Benson had really fled into Blossom Range, stopping on the way
only long enough to remove his Indian paint and feathers and
assume his ordinary clothing, which he had kept with him in the Ute
village and brought out of it.
For a day or two he hid with a friend, who fed him and kept him
secluded.
 But this friend was soon suspected and arrested. Benson had to
leave his house.
The few friends left now in the town became afraid to harbor him.
At last a day came when Benson, grown desperate, hungry,
wearied with hiding like a terrified wolf, came boldly out into the
street. Yet he had taken the care to give himself a change of
clothing, which he stole during the previous night, so that he was
not now the dapper gambler and desperado, but appeared as a
miner in rough clothing and clay-stained boots.
“There are miners going in and out of the town to their work
every day, and I’ll try that trick,” he said to himself. “I can’t get away
during the night, for no man is permitted to go out who is not
known, so I’ve got to make the try in broad daylight. If I fail——”
He walked boldly down the street, passing dozens of men, who
gave him not a second glance.
“They don’t know me! I guess I can work it. But I’ve got to get
farther than just out in the hills. How will I do that? All the
surrounding towns are guarded, with men looking there for me, so I
can’t go into the towns. And if I stay in the hills I’ll starve; a coyote
couldn’t live there. I think I’ll have to try the stage again.”
Yet he knew that no man whose identity was not clearly proven
could leave now by the stage.
Benson had not proceeded half a mile when he saw the man
whom he feared above all others—Buffalo Bill.
The great scout had been standing at a street corner, as if at ease
with himself and the world, also apparently not watching any one or
looking for any one.
But it was evident that he had seen and spotted Benson as soon
as the latter appeared in sight.
When Buffalo Bill sauntered with seeming carelessness across the
street to intercept Tim Benson old Nomad was in another street,
which hid him from Benson’s sight, though he and the scout could
see each other.
The scout put up his hand in a peculiar way, much as if he were
settling a refractory cuff in place, a sign which Nomad saw at once
and understood.
Benson was still under the impression that Buffalo Bill had not
recognized him, when the scout, after brushing by him, turned
quickly, with handcuffs ready for Benson’s wrists.
“Better surrender without trouble, Benson!” he said in a low tone.
“I’ve got you, you see.”
Benson whitened to the lips; then in desperation he whipped out a
revolver and fired at the scout. The scout ducked and seemed to
reel. At the same instant the trapper came yelling upon the scene.
“Waugh!” old Nomad whooped. “Better drap et, Benson, fer ye’re
shootin’ only blanks!”
The shouted words, telling him his revolver held only blanks,
confused and balked Benson for a moment; it made him uncertain,
and that caused him to hesitate. The scout had not been touched by
Benson’s bullet, and it gave him the time and opportunity needed.
He sprang upon Benson. When the latter’s hand went up again
with the revolver, Buffalo Bill turned the weapon aside and at the
same time snapped the wrist in the handcuff; then, with a swing, he
caught and brought the other wrist round.
“Click!” sounded the manacles.
The revolver fell to the ground, and Benson reeled back against
the wall. That click and the touch of the cold steel on his wrists let
him know that the great scout had him at last.
Not until the thing had been done and the handcuffs held his arms
together did Benson come to a full realization that Nomad had
shouted those words simply to confuse him and cause him to lose
time.
 He turned upon the old trapper furiously.
Nomad only laughed.
“Thet’s all right, ye reprobate,” said the trapper. “We wanted ter
ketch yer, so I didn’t want ter drap ye with a bullet myself, or hev ye
drap Buffler. Ye’re the star road agent o’ this section and the king o’
all the desperadoes that’s been workin’ round hyer; but now we has
got ye. Et’s the final scoop.”
Tim Benson, a very few minutes later, was in the jail of Blossom
Range, whither his pals had gone before him.
As for the Utes, old Iron Bow and the others who were jailed, they
were released in a few days and permitted to return to the village. It
was held that, being savages, they were not really responsible for
deeds committed under the influence of desperate white men and
strong drink.
The Betts brothers did not get that reward.
They could not produce the body of Gorilla Jake, dead or alive. Yet
there was no doubt that he had suffered at the hands of the Utes a
terrible punishment for his crime of furnishing them with drugged
whisky.

THE END.

No. 102 of the Buffalo Bill Border Stories,

entitled, “Buffalo Bill, Peacemaker,” is a rattler

great scout’s hunt for peace gets him into all
sorts of trouble, and every page has its thrills.

BUFFALO BILL

Red-blooded Adventure Stories for Men

There is no more romantic character in

American history than William F. Cody, or as he
was internationally known, Buffalo Bill. He, with
Colonel Prentiss Ingraham, Wild Bill Hickok,
General Custer, and a few other adventurous
spirits, laid the foundation of our great West.
There is no more brilliant page in American
history than the winning of the West. Never did
pioneers live more thrilling lives, so rife with
adventure and brave deeds as the old scouts
and plainsmen. Foremost among these stands
the imposing figure of Buffalo Bill.
All of the books in this list are intensely
interesting. They were written by the close
friend and companion of Buffalo Bill—Colonel
Prentiss Ingraham. They depict actual
adventures which this pair of hard-hitting
comrades experienced, while the story of these
adventures is interwoven with fiction;
historically the books are correct.

The Most Complete List Published

The following list does not contain all the

books that Horatio Alger wrote, but it contains
most of them, and certainly the best.
Horatio Alger is to boys what Charles Dickens
is to grown-ups. His work is just as popular to-
day as it was years ago. The books have a
quality, the value of which is beyond
computation.
There are legions of boys of foreign parents
who are being helped along the road to true
Americanism by reading these books which are
so peculiarly American in tone that the reader
cannot fail to absorb some of the spirit of fair
play and clean living which is so
characteristically American.
In this list are included certain books by
Edward Stratemeyer upon whose shoulders the
cloak of Horatio Alger has fallen. They are
books of the Alger type, and to a very large
extent vie with Mr. Alger’s books in interest and
wholesomeness.

 Say, Boys!
How’d you like to own your own
bronc’? How’d you like to be an
expert at lassoing and branding?
How’d you like to ride the rolling
prairies in search of lost stock, and
perhaps have an adventure or two
with certain bad men who did not
like you because you were on the
side of law and order? How would
you like it?
Well, we all cannot go west and
be cowboys, but we sure can pay
15 cents for the stories in the
Western Story Library, and find a
good, comfortable spot, and
immediately imagine ourselves
riding with Ted Strong and his
broncho boys, sharing their
adventures, their hardships and
pleasures.
Ted Strong and his pals are
lovable fellows—every one of them,
and you will do well to make
comrades of them.
Ask your dealer to show you a
copy of the Western Story Library.

Stories of the Big Outdoors

There has been a big demand for outdoor

stories, and a very considerable portion of it has
been for the Maxwell Stevens stories about Jack
Lightfoot, the athlete.
These stories are of interest to old and
young. They are not, strictly speaking, stories
for boys, but boys everywhere will find a great
deal in them to engage their interest.
The Jack Lightfoot stories deal with every
branch of sport—baseball, football, rowing,
swimming, racing, tennis, and every sort of
occupation, both indoor and out, that the
healthy-minded man turns to.
