Introduction 
 
 N these pages we have repro- 
 duced the most notable scenes 
 of Coney Island, the nation's 
 playground. 
 
 These pictures have been 
 carefully made at great expense 
 especially for this publication and are not 
 to be found elsewhere. They form the 
 most notable pictorial representation of 
 Coney's wonders. 
 
 The scenes shift with wonderful rapidity 
 on this, the most famous Island in the 
 world and what you see this year you 
 may never see again. Refresh, then, the 
 memories of the future with these pictures 
 of the present. Turn the pages in the 
 years to come and remember the sights 
 you have seen and the pleasures you 
 have had. 
 
 Send a copy to your friends at home 
 and abroad. Let them see for themselves 
 the marvels, the fascinations of Coney 
 Island, so that they too may have the 
 wander-lust and make the trip to Coney.

 HEROINE 
 
 o 
 
 UT of that 
 wonderful past 
 which marked 
 the settlement of the 
 middle west, conquered 
 the wilderness, over- 
 came the Indian and 
 bred the spirit that 
 achieved American in- 
 dependence comes the 
 story of "Betty Zane." 
 No mere story-book 
 heroine she, but a real 
 flesh-and-blood woman 
 who lived and loved 
 and proved her woman- 
 liness and bravery in the 
 days when da nger 
 lurked everywhere 
 along the frontier and 
 true love never lacked the chance to prove its worth by thrilling 
 deeds. No one can read this book and not live again the life 
 of those bold pioneers and adventurers who carved a nation out 
 of the wilderness and of the brave women who stood by their 
 sides, rifles in hand, to repel the treacherous red foe, women 
 who could ride and run and shoot as well as their brothers, and 
 whose lives were passed in the very midst of romantic adventure. 
 Betty Zane " is a fascinating story, vivid because true. In 
 Betty's race for life, with the bullets flying about her, we hold 
 our breath as though we were actually watching the brave and 
 devoted girl with the lives of a whole community depending on 
 her speed and daring. Ask the Bookseller. 
 
 Price, $1.50
