Subscribers are informed that I am prepared to bind these pamphlets in durable styles, ornamented with designs made expressly for this publication. I will send a messenger with samples if requested by letter to do so.

Subscribers residing out of the metropolis are cautioned not to entrust the binding of their book to binders unaccustomed to binding large volumes, more particularly works containing a multitude of full-page engravings printed on heavy-plate paper; and they are infomred that they can have this publication bound by me at New York rates, if they will send me the pamphlets by my carrier.

Subscribers residing in New York, or other large cities, are warned against people who come to their doors offerieng to bind their books at a price far below that at which it is possible to do satisfactory work; for such people often mean to keep these books, and intend never again to return them, either bound or unbound, to their legitimate owner.

The Cave in the Mountain, by Lieut. R. H. Jayne. A Western Adventure about a Cave. And a Mountain. And Indians. And Spalpeens.

It was hardly dark when Fred Munson carefully shoved the end of the rope over the edge of the opening, and let it descend slowly, gently and noiselessly to the bottom, permitting it to pass through his hands in such a way that he could tell the instant it was disturbed. When he knew that it had struck, he waited for a “bite.”

To his astonishment, it came within the next five minutes. He was startled by feeling a decided pull repeated several times.

The situation was so delicately critical that it would not do to speak nor whisper, nor even to utter their whistle, no matter how cautiously made. So, by way of reply, Fred gave the lasso several responsive jerks, intended to signify that everything was ready, and his friend might come ahead.

A moment later the lariat was jerked from his hand, showing that a heavy weight had suddenly fastened upon it, and the man was making his way upward from the cave.
