The scene of Mr.. ButterWorth's remarkable
study of political crime, is MS own birthplace,
Warren R. l., where we was born in 1899. He
was assistant editor of the youths Companion
for twenty-five years, and has always been one
of our favorte writers for young people. Among
his best known books are the "Zig-Zag Journeys"
"The Patriot Schoolmaster," The Wampum
Belt" ETC. His stories of New England life, from
the Colonial period down, combine history and
fiction in way to delight the reader. The pres
ent story is particularly suited to the season of
political ferment, and while interesting as work
of fiction, breaches powerful moral which may
well be observed by readers of all parties.
