By JOHN REED SCOTT
In which we meet again the characters of his dashing success, “The Colonel of the Red Huzzars” (Eleven editions).
MR. SCOTT displays uncommon dramatic skill in the handling of his characters—the same, by the way, as those who were met in his “Colonel of the Red Huzzars.” It is a continuation of that former dashing romance of an American army officer who turns out to have royal blood in his veins which eventually wins for him a throne and enthrones him in the heart of a charming princess; mystery, intrigue, plot, and counterplot, all are here, and the reader will find his attention held until the very last page, when loyalty and the wit of a woman triumph in the face of even “the Book of Laws” and a clever rascal.“Here is a new story to set the pulses tingling.”—Philadelphia Press.“Since Hope’s ‘Prisoner of Zenda,’ nothing better has been done than this new story by the author of ‘The Colonel of the Red Huzzars.’”—Cincinnati Enquirer.“There are situations involving the principal characters which are ingenious in conception and cleverly woven into the story by essential and natural sequence, and at these situations the reader feels a desire to continue the story, even if the house be burning. He has produced a story that is interesting and exciting without being overdrawn.”—Boston Evening Transcript.Four Full-Page Illustrations in Color by Clarence F. Underwood. 12 mo. Decorated Cloth, $1.50.
