About This Book

A young breaker boy named Fred faces bullying from Skip Miller and his gang and endures being thrown into a disused shaft, prompting a tense sequence of underground danger and daring rescues. The narrative follows efforts to locate and save trapped miners, confrontations with a growing mob, and schemes among company men and regulators as the mine is shut down. Investigations, legal accusations, and amateur detective work complicate the aftermath, testing friendships and revealing hidden motives. Order is restored when truth and perseverance prevail, leading to vindication for the accused and the opening of a new mine.

This is a branch of correspondence which fully demands a volume alone to provide for the various phases incident to Love, Courtship and Marriage. Few persons, however otherwise fluent with the pen, are able to express in words the promptings of the first dawn of love, and even the ice once broken how to follow up a correspondence with the dearest one in the whole world and how to smooth the way with those who need to be consulted in the matter. The numerous letters and answers in this book go far to overcome the difficulties and embarrassment inseparable from letters on this all-absorbing topic in all stages from beginning to end of a successful courtship, aided in many instances by the author's sensible comments on the specimen letters, and his valuable hints under adverse contingencies. It also contains the Art of Secret Writing, the Language of Love portrayed and rules in grammar.
