Another Story by Charles Major.

The author of "When Knighthood
Was In Flower" and those "Uncle Tenn
Andy Hill" stories, has attempted to
do for German literature what he did
for English Literature in the ''Knight-
hood" Volume. The story is called the
"Aargrave of schweat" and will be
printed in The Sunday Edition Of The
Philadelphia Press in serial form, the
Arst chapters appearing May 10th. The
Margravs and other characters are his
torical personages At the Court Of the
Father of Frederick the Great. Young
Frederick and his favorite sister, Prin-
cess Wilhelmins, figure conspicuously
in the story throughout. If you have
ever read the story ''When Knighthood
Was In Flower" you will surely ap-
preciate Majors efforts in his latest
success, ''The Margrove Of Schwedt."
Don't fail to read the opening chap
tiers appearing exclusively in The Phila-
delphia Sunday Press, May 10th. Send
your order in advance to make sure you
won't be disappointed.
