 Mistress Dorothy of Haddon Hail." by Henry Hastings. published by R. F. Fenno, New York. is a highly readable and entertaining story, one that will de- lightfully beguile the leisure hour. Like MT. Majors Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall," it Is based on historical facts. The Dorothy of Mir. Hastings is less spirited, less rebellious and high strung creation than the Dorothy of MT MaJor-has less fireworks in her compo- sition. So also Mir. Hastings Jack Manners is of somewhat different type from Mir. Majors Jack, but both have good lighting blood as is well demon strated in both stories. The new Doro- thy's father. moreover is a far more mild hammered, a far less cf1oleric and belligerent old gentleman than was the father in MT. Majors story. But the Dorothy of MT. Hastings is like that of MT. Majors, a very attractive creation delightfully."- depicted. She has beauty and grace and is charming, winsome young lady who captivated Jack Manners in short order. It was love at first sight for Jack, which grew into consuming passion for the beau- tiful Dorothy and was kindled into flame of ardor and devotion in due time when the lovely girl at last awoke to find that from pity for Jack and all he had suffered on her account she re- turned his love. In this story as in the other, Dorothy finds herself selected to become the bride of Bracebridge, man repellant to her, whom she could not love and wko was moreover bold. un- scrupulous, daring and of the stuff that pirates are made of. The duel between Jack and Bracebridge is all on account of Dorothy, as is also the kipnapping and imprisonment of Jack in dungeon deep by Braceridge, and the similar incarceration of Jacks friend Aleyne Bracebridge was a great villain. but Jack and Dorothy elope and wed and Bracebridge dies and all ends happily for the true lovers at last. The story is well told and will be appreciated by lov- CTS of a well told tale. It is thought that MT. Hastings was we'll on with his version of Dorothy when Mr. Majors Dorothy appeared in print Price $1 .0o; for sale at Judd's.
