The Banner Boy Scouts on a Tour‪,‬

In the preceding volume, "The Banner Boy Scouts or The Struggle for Leadership", I endeavored to interest my readers in an account of the numerous trials and adventures that befell Paul and his chums when forming the first Red Fox Patrol. You will remember how the mystery of the disappearing coins continued to puzzle Paul and Jack almost up to the very conclusion of the story. And doubtless you were also ready to admit that, hard pressed by jealous rivals at home as well as forced to compete with two neighboring troops who longed to possess the prize banner the Stanhope scouts certainly did have a warm time of it right up to the close of the tournament.
