&c. Illustrations by W. b. Wollen.
New York City: Dodd, Mead & Co.. 372
Fifth avenue Price, Sl.5O
With unhagging interest and thrilling
detail the author wcaves a story in which
that hero OF two countries and grandest
among the characters of the American
Revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette is
a commanding figure. The hero Is Zaida
Kay, a young American who is bound to
the distinguished Frcnchman bv the ties
of close affection and who shares with
him many exciting experiences on both
sides of the Atlantic.
The story opens in Paris and shows
the difficulties that heset LAFAYETTE in
his efforts TO draw his sword for the cause
of the American Colonies. relating how
narrowly he escaped an arrest that was
planned in order 10 keep him on French
soil, and also what dangers hcset him on
the voyage across the Atlantic. including
an encounter with pirates and barely
escaped connection with British frigates
that would have eiiectually stopped the
career OF the eadventuresque young French
man then and there. The story further
deals with Lafayette S gallant services in
the American army, and then turns back
TO France, where even more exciting eN-
penences await him.
IL is in France that the romance of the
story is introduced. beginning with La
iayette S picturesque departure forAmerica
and resuming on his return to encounter
the sanguinary fortunes of the French
revolution. The love of the handsome
young Pauline l3eauvallet for Zaida kav
and their marriage only serve TO unite
more closely their lives with that of the
great French patriot, and with the fateful
uprising that made him first an exile and
later a prisoner, ending in the tragic
death of the young wife ON the guillotine.
and long and weary confinement for the
young American in a Belgium prison
). Full of stirring incident is the story
from FIRST TO last. and no reader who
starts upon it will be content to stop
until the final page is reached

AN EXHIBITION OF NERVE.

The audaeity Of the three federal Jail

prison at Newport Is rarely seen. Jail
breaking under almost any conditions is
extremely hazardous, but to attempt to
escape in broad daylight and then to
sumter unconcernedly down the streets
Of 80 populous d place as the village
of Newport stamps the three fugitives
To be criminals Of the most hardened
sort. After pounding their way through
four thicknesses OF brick wall with a
window weight, al the while keeping
up great din to cover up the noise
ui their operations. these men Of nerve
crawled through the small opening to
the free air. The reports do not say
80, bla one could readily imagine that
tie trio calmly lighted cigars as they
ssfo.led away Not for long, however,
was this remarkable aplomb, for the
eye Of an observing citizen fell upon
them and at ONCE the alarm was hurried
70 the prison The time for nerve was
past, and the men took @ their heels
With 4 pack Of plrsuers on their track.
But up to that time The three men dis.
played such an exhibition Of daring as
is not often seen in Vermont. The cpl
sode strengthens the belief, expressed
at the time Of their arrest, that the
federal authorities had captured yeter
