Annie, treasure, come here; tell us what the 'Lonely Child' was about."
"I don't remember," answered Annie. "I don't know what loneliness means

Bonnie Prince Charlie: A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By G. A. HENTY.
With 12 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 12mo, cloth, price
$1.00.
The adventures of the son of a Scotch officer in French service. The boy,
brought up by a Glasgow bailie, is arrested for aiding a Jacobite agent,
escapes, is wrecked on the French coast, reaches Paris, and serves with
the French army at Dettingen. He kills his father's foe in a duel, and
escaping to the coast, shares the adventures of Prince Charlie, but
finally settles happily in Scotland.
"Ronald, the hero, is very like the hero of 'Quentin Durward.' The lad's

With 12 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE. 12mo, cloth, price
$1.00.

follow each other in rapid succession, while he combines with his
narrative a tale of daring and adventure, which gives a lifelike interest
to the volume.
"He has taken a period of Indian history of the most vital importance,
and he has embroidered on the historical facts a story which of itself is
deeply interesting. Young people assuredly will be delighted with the
volume."--_Scotsman._
