A Girl's Loyalty. With 6 Illustrations by JOHN H. BACON. Cloth, 3_s._
6_d._ _New Edition._

When she was still but a child, Helen Grant received from her grandfather,
on his death-bed, a secret message. The brief words remained fast in her

possessed of that quick courage which leaps up in a shy nature when
evil-doers have to be unmasked, and wrongs made right.

"The one book for girls that stands out this year is Miss Frances
Armstrong's A Girl's Loyalty."--_Review of Reviews_.
