Mr. Scott displays uncommon dramatic skill in the handling of his characters--the same, by the way, as those who were met in his “Colonel of the Red Huzzars.” It is a continuation of that former dashing romance of an American army officer who turns out to have royal blood in his veins which eventually wins for him a throne and enthrones him in the heart of a charming princess; mystery, intrigue, plot, and counterplot, all are here, and the reader will find his attention held until the very last page, when loyalty and the wit of a woman triumph in the face of even “the Book of Laws” and a clever rascal. “Here is a new story to set the pulses tingling.”--_Philadelphia Press._ “Since Hope’s ‘Prisoner of Zenda,’ nothing better has been done than this new story by the author of ‘The Colonel of the Red Huzzars.’”--_Cincinnati Enquirer._ “There are situations involving the principal characters which are ingenious in conception and cleverly woven into the story by essential and natural sequence, and at these situations the reader feels a desire to continue the story, even if the house be burning. He has produced a story that is interesting and exciting without being overdrawn.”--_Boston Evening Transcript._ _Four Full-Page Illustrations in Color by Clarence F. Underwood. 12 mo. Decorated Cloth, $1.50._ J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY PUBLISHERS PHILADELPHIA _THE DASHING NOVEL_ THE COLONEL OF THE RED HUZZARS By JOHN REED SCOTT Stirring adventures, courtly intrigue, and fencing both of sword and wit, fill the pages of this story. The plot is built upon a wager between Major Dalberg, U. S. A., and a friend that within a certain time both would be dining with the king and dancing with the princess royal of Valeria. Strangely enough, Dalberg proves to be of the blood royal of Valeria, is reinstated into his ancestral rights, and when matters are about to reach a climax, the pretender steps in, and there ensues an encounter between American pluck and unscrupulous cleverness. “There’s not a dull page in it.”--_The Index, Pittsburg._ “A slap-dashing vacation-day romance.”--_Evening Sun, New York._ “So naïvely fresh in its handling, so plausible through its naturalness, that it comes like a mountain breeze across the far-spreading desert of similar romances.”--_Gazette-Times, Pittsburg._ Illustrations in Colors by CLARENCE F.
