A romance by Captain King is always a pleasure, because he has so
complete a mastery of the subjects with which he deals. . . . Captain
King has few rivals in his domain. . . . The general tone of Captain King's
stories is highly commendable. The heroes are simple, frank, and sol-
dierly ; the heroines are dignified and maidenly in the most unconvention-
al situations. Epoch, N. Y.

wordj so that his novels are pleasing to young men as well as young
women. Pittsburgh Bulletin.
It is good to think that there is at least one man who believes that all
the spirit of romance and chivalry has not yet died out of the world, and
that there are as brave and honest hearts to-day as there were in the
days of knights and paladins. Philadelphia Record.
