A story which has grown out of a study of the records of French soldiers who took part in our revolution. The interest centers about the events that lead to the identification of a French child that had been kidnapped by a jealous uncle and sent to America in charge of a girl who became a colonist’s bondservant. Not until he had grown to manhood and had been courtmartialed as a British spy does he come face to face with the treachery that had kept him from his father and his birthright privileges.

Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“It is a collection of essays that deserves the attention of public-school workers for its vital contact with the real present, its courageous but temperate idealism, and its sane counsels. It is characterized rather by a semi-proverbial style than by sustained argument, and contains numerous fresh and terse presentations of wise and weighty principles and practical conclusions.” Edward C. Hayes.
