ands of brigands. Their
adventures in this rarely-traversed romantic region are many, and
culminate in the travellers being snowed up for the winter in the
mountains, from which they escape while their captors are waiting for
the ransom that does not come.
"This story is told with such real freshness and
vigour that the reader feels he is actually one of
the party, sharing in the fun and facing the
dangers with them."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"Takes its readers into scenes that will have
great novelty and attraction for them, and the
experiences with the brigands will be especially
delightful to the boyish
imagination."--_Scotsman._

_UNDER FALSE COLOURS._
By SARAH DOUDNEY. With 12 full-page Illustrations
by G. G. KILBURNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant,
olivine edges, $1.50.
A story which, while it is eminently suitable for girls' reading because
of the purity of its style, its genuine pathos and healthy sentiment,
has in it so strong a dramatic element that it will attract readers of
all ages and of either sex. The incidents of the plot, arising from the
thoughtless indulgence of a deceptive freak, are exceedingly natural,
and the keen interest of the narrative is sustained from beginning to
end. It is worthy of the high reputation attained by the author as a
writer of stories interesting as novels and destined for the delight of
the home circle.
"This is a charming story, abounding in delicate
touches of sentiment and pathos. Its plot is
skilfully contrived. It will be read with a warm
interest by every girl who takes it
up."--_Scotsman._
"Sarah Doudney has no superior as a writer of
high-toned stories--pure in style, original in
conception, and with skilfully wrought-out plots;
but we have seen nothing from this lady's pen
equal in dramatic energy to her latest work,
_Under False Colours_."--_Christian Leader._
