She has made one slip. No prisoner es-
 caping from foul British prison shil
 in New York bay would have felt the
 compunctions she attributes to Rich
 ard Clevering when he cholles the life
 out of an interfering patriot guards

 capped from death hulk. How could
 she be expected to know that wasn't the
 place to feel sorry?'

Little Brown 6 Co.,. 12mo. sl.50 The events of this new historical romance by the author of White Aprons" ''The Head of a Hundred" etc, occur in Maryland and Virginia. Several of the favorite characters of that charming book, ''The Head of a Hundred" reappear in it's pages. Like Mrs. Goodwin's previ- ous stories, Sir Christopher" is more than a mere romance, for it has his torical background, giving picture of the colonial days at period when Catholics and Puritans were bitter foes in the new world as well as in the old. There is subtle charm to the story and action and adventure vividly told, which ensure the readers close atten- l ton. The hero of the tale Sir Christo- pher is a gallant if somewhat crusty knight who has the lions share of excl- | ting situations and startling perils. 1 Mrs. Goodwin truly has a subtle in- | sight into human feeling and the lead | ing characters of the story are not mere | automatic machines. The reader will | rejoice at the happy denouement of the | story when instead of being executed, | the brave Christopher is proven nno- cent of the foul dead charged upon him, and at last, after long years of devo- | tion and weary waiting he wins the beautiful lady of his heart Sir Chris topher is one of the most delightful books of the year.

 The Springfield Republican remarks 1 If "Sir Christopher:" Tn fact, it not ,nly tells an interesting story in good English, but gives what I believe to be l aithful historical portraits of many if the interesting people who were prominent in Maryland history in that ,arly day" This book will enhance he growing reputation of it's author"
