STORY FOR YOUNG MEN
In "Straight Black Lines" Mr. Frank Boyco draws a heartening portrait of modern youth. Alexander Teason, who starts life as a grocer's errand-boy, is nothing if not a man of action; but it is by dint of thinking always in "thick, straight, intensely Indian-inky black lines" and eschewing the weathercock type of mind that he reaches his objective. For his deeds follow his thoughts and nothing stops him, not even—on one nil-important occasion—the gates of a level-crossing. Here is a book which tells of life as it really is. A novel which everyone will enjoy, but more especially, perhaps, a novel for young men. "Straight Black Lines,," by Frank Boyce. (Newncs.)
