unravel the mystery. Chief of Police
Bennett, of the Hub City, and his

TWO HUNDRED FIFTY STORIES

And every story d good one. They
are entertaining, but that is not all
you can say about them. You know
there is hardly periodical published
that is not full of time-wasting stor-
les, but not a single story in the
Youths Companion is a time waster.
Take the stories of C. A. Stephens. 1t
would be hard to pick out one from
which you can not learn something
useful and yet entertaining.
Some of the Companion stories re-
fresh your knowledge of geography;
some tell you the mysteries of chem
istry, some reveal the secrets of for
estry and of general farming. They
cover a wide range. They are
chosen with an eye to the possible
likings of every member of a Com
panion family-stories of vigorous
action and stirring adventure for
boys, stories of college life and do
nestle vicissitudes for girls, stories
that range all the way from sheer
drollery to deep seriousness for m en-
and women. There are no stories
quite like those in the Companion.

Companion as it is today. let us send
