His One Fault. By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.

"As for the hero of this story, 'His One Fault' was
absent-mindedness. He forgot to lock his uncle's stable door, and
the horse was stolen. In seeking to recover the stolen horse, he
unintentionally stole another. In trying to restore the wrong horse
to his rightful owner, he was himself arrested. After no end of
comic and dolorous adventures, he surmounted all his misfortunes by
downright pluck and genuine good feeling. It is a noble
contribution to juvenile literature."--_Woman's Journal._

Peter Budstone. By J. T. TROWBRIDGE. Illustrated. $1.25.

"TROWBRIDGE'S other books have been admirable and deservedly
popular but this one, in our opinion, is the best yet. It is a
story at once spirited and touching, with a certain dramatic and
artistic quality that appeals to the literary sense as well as to
the story-loving appetite. In it Mr. TROWBRIDGE has not lectured or
moralized or remonstrated; he has simply shown boys what they are
doing when they contemplate hazing. By a good artistic impulse we
are not shown the hazing at all; when the story begins, the hazing
is already over, and we are introduced immediately to the results.
It is an artistic touch also that the boy injured is not hurt
because he is a fellow of delicate nerves, but because of his very
strength, and the power with which he resisted until overcome by
numbers, and subjected to treatment which left him insane. His
insanity takes the form of harmless delusion, and the absurdity of
his ways and talk enables the author to lighten the sombreness
without weakening the moral, in a way that ought to win all boys to
his side."--_The Critic._

There were some schoolboys who had turned housebreakers, and among
their plunder was a silver medal that had been given to one John
Harrison by the Humane Society for rescuing from drowning a certain
Benton Barry. Now Benton Barry was one of the wretched housebreakers.
This is the summary of the opening chapter. The story is intensely
interesting in its serious as well as its humoro
