as always a purpose in his
writings, and this time he has undertaken to
show how very near an innocent boy can come to
the guilty edge and yet be able by fortunate
circumstances to rid himself of all suspicion
of evil. There is something winsome about the
hero; but he has a singular way of falling into
bad luck, although the careful reader will
never feel the least disposed to doubt his
honesty.... It is the pain and perplexity which
impart to the story its intense
interest."--_Syracuse Standard._

=The Little Master.= By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.

This is the story of a schoolmaster, his
trials, disappointments, and final victory. It
will recall to many a man his experience in

"Many a teacher could profit by reading of this

=His One Fault.= By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.

misfortunes by downright pluck and genuine good
feeling. It is a noble contribution to juvenile
literature."--_Woman's Journal._

and deservedly popular, but this one, in our
opinion, is the best yet. It is a story at once
spirited and touching, with a certain dramatic
and artistic quality that appeals to the
literary sense as well as to the story-loving
appetite. In it Mr. TROWBRIDGE has not lectured
or moralized or remonstrated; he has simply
shown boys what they are doing when they
contemplate hazing. By a good artistic impulse
we are not shown the hazing at all; when the
story begins, the haz
