the saving grace of true love, all these in the hand of a master form a
book to be eagerly awaited.

BETTY SELDON, PATRIOT
_A Revolutionary Tale for Girls_

By ADELE E. THOMPSON, Author of "Beck's Fortune." Illustrated by
Lilian Crawford True. 12mo. Cloth. 300 pages. $1.25

It is a great deal to say of a book that it is at the same time
fascinating and noble. This is what "Betty Seldon, Patriot" is, and in
fact no one of the many who read and admired "Beck's Fortune" would
expect a book by Miss Thompson to be otherwise. Betty is a bright
Connecticut girl, happily as industrious and filial as she is
attractive. Her devotion to her father, a captain in the Continental
army, and her experience with a Tory uncle, who appears upon the
supposed death of her father and takes her to his home in Pennsylvania,
pretending to be her guardian, form the basis of the book. Historical
events are accurately traced leading up to the surrender of Cornwallis
at Yorktown, with reunion and happiness for all who deserve it. Betty is
worth a thousand of the fickle coquette heroines of some latter-day
popular novels, and the historical setting of the story is strong and
effective.
