about mince pie, yet freshly made by a

so 1t is with such tales as "The Ad-
venturers." Mr.. Watson writes with
a dash and "go'' which recommend
him to fairly large and intelligent
public, and these qualities are not alb
sent from the present romance. It's
plot, briefly, is this: A young London
lawyer. Greatorex, has the fortune,
good or bad, to rescue from assault an
old gentleman, who gratefully leaves
him Welsh castle. In this castle is
hidden treasure, and Greatorex holds
but half the clue to it's whereabouts;
the other half is held, of course, by
the Villains of the piece, and the ex-
clt1ng part OF the romance deals with
the war between these contending par
ties. 1t goes without saying that the
hero is triumphant in the end.

Since the appearance Of that charming
love story "The Lilac Sunbonnet," Mr.. S. r.
Crockett has been steadily winning fame and
favor. He Is already voluminous writer,
and a new novel from his pen is always an
important event IN the world of romance. 1t
is not difficult to assign reasons for his great
popularity. There is g. viriltty, dash and
vigor about his stories that carries the read
er along irresisdbly. He treats the love af-
fairs OF his heroes and heroines in a most
suggestive and sympathetic way that never
fails to appeal. His characters are clearly
outlined, and his stories are told, every one
OF them: for the story,,s sake Mr.. orockett's

ga Little Puritan Rebel"

"a Little Puritan Rebel" aspires to
the condition of historical romance
It has for hero Sir Harry Vane, the
boy governor of Massachusetts colony.
Harry Vane is certainly one Of the
most romantic figures to be found
among the Purltans, and it Is strange
that this hot-headed, high-souled
youth, with his stormy, heroic life, is
not oftener the hero Of fiction. The
period of his life selected by Edith
Robinson for her story is that when
he was governor of Massachusetts,
with the hand of every member of his
council against him. 1.-THE Little Puri-
tan Rebel is Mistress Frances Wray
a maiden devout in heart, but too
.daintily clothed to suit strict Boston
notions.

"The Yankee Volunteer

M. INLAY Taylor, who is known as
a writer of historic romance, has turn
ed his attention from the tales of i'm
perial Russia to the adventures Of our
own Continental army. "a Yankee Vol
unteer' is a historical romance of the
usual character, written with, perhaps,
more than the usual success. Wash
1ngton and the other great men Of the
times act with their accustomed dig
nlty and wisdom, and the hero is young
and brave. 1.-The Yankee Volunteer
has the necessary love story, and the
heroine of it is a little Tory of pro-
nounced political beliefs. Relations
are naturally strained between the
hero, major in the Continental army,
and such heroine, but, in compliance
with that happy law that governs ro-
nance. it all turns out well in the
end.
