Washington. By JAMES OTIS. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price
$1.00.

"'A Tory Plot' is the story of two lads who overhear something of
the plot originated during the Revolution by Gov. Tryon to
capture or murder Washington. They communicate their knowledge to
Gen. Putnam and are commissioned by him to play the role of
