A Girl’s Loyalty. With 6 Illustrations by John H. Bacon. Cloth, 3s. 6d. New Edition.
When she was still but a child, Helen Grant received from her grandfather, on his death-bed, a secret message. The brief words remained fast in her memory, and dominated her whole career. She was loyal to her trust, however, and to her friends in the hour of their need. For the girl was possessed of that quick courage which leaps up in a shy nature when evil-doers have to be unmasked, and wrongs made right.
“The one book for girls that stands out this year is Miss Frances Armstrong’s A Girl’s Loyalty.”—Review of Reviews.
