Barry, $1.50

a unique plan of introducing old friends anew. Wherever there exists a

The Judges' Cave
A Romance of the New Haven Colony in the days of the Regicides
By MARGARET SIDNEY, author of "A Little Maid of Concord-town," "Five
Little Peppers," etc. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, $1.50
There are few more fascinating phases of colonial history than that
which tells the wanderings and adventures of the two judges who,
because they sat in judgment over that royal criminal, Charles the
First of England, were hunted out of England into hiding in New England
and there remained, a mystery and fugitives, in their celebrated cave
in New Haven Colony. Margaret Sidney has made her careful and
exhaustive research into their story a labor of love and has, in this
book, woven about them a romance of rare power and great beauty.
Marcia, the heroine, is a strong and delightful character, and the book
will easily take high rank among the most effective and absorbing
stories based upon a dramatic phase of American history.

in Concord, and knows the interesting town thoroughly. Debby Parlin,

standing, and was surrounded by all the stir and excitement of the

struggle for freedom.

This story of Wayne Pierson and how he evaded or met the tests of
misunderstanding, environment, false position, opportunity and
self-pride; how he lost his father and found him again, almost lost his
home and found it again, almost lost himself and found alike his
manhood, his conscience and his heart is told us in Pansy's best vein,
ably supplemented by Mrs. Livingston's collaboration.
