The story has the charm which is always found in Mr. TROWBRIDGE'S works. "Many a teacher could profit by reading of this plucky little schoolmaster."--_Journal of Education._ =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.
