are happy
in his service until the priest's son accidentally kills the sacred cat
of Bubastes. In an outburst of popular fury Ameres is killed, and it
rests with Jethro and Amuba to secure the escape of the high-priest's
son and daughter. After many dangers they succeed in crossing the desert
to the Red Sea, and eventually making their way to the Caspian.

"The story is highly enjoyable. We have pictures
of Egyptian domestic life, of sport, of religious
ceremonial, and of other things which may still be
seen vividly portrayed by the brush of Egyptian
artists."--_The Spectator._

"The story, from the critical moment of the
killing of the sacred cat to the perilous exodus
into Asia with which it closes, is very skilfully
constructed and full of exciting adventures. It is
admirably illustrated."--_Saturday Review._

"Mr. Henty is one of our most successful writers
of historical tales."--_Scotsman._

_IN THE REIGN OF TERROR:_

The Adventures of a Westminster Boy. By G. A.
HENTY. With 8 full-page Illustrations by J.
SCHOeNBERG. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine
edges, $1.50.

Harry Sandwith, a Westminster boy, becomes a resident at the chateau of
a French marquis, and after various adventures accompanies the family to
Paris at the crisis of the Revolution. Imprisonment and death reduce
their number, and the hero finds himself beset by perils with the three
young daughters of the house in his charge. The stress of trial brings
out in him all the best English qualities of pluck and endurance, and
after hair-breadth escapes they reach Nantes. There the girls are
condemned to death in the coffin-ships Les Noyades, but are saved by the
unfailing courage of their boy-protector.

"Harry Sandwith, the Westminster boy, may fairly
be said to beat Mr. Henty's record. His adventures
will delight boys by the audacity and peril they
depict. . . . The story is one of Mr. Henty's
best."--_Saturday Review._

"The interest of this story of the _Reign of
Terror_ lies in the way in which the difficulties
and perils Harry has to encounter bring out the
heroic and steadfast qualities of a brave nature.
