The Red Terror. By Edward King. (Cassell and Co.)—In The
Red Terror two boys, with their grandfather, an American " General," go to Paris to hunt for the father of the boys, but they do not find the prodigal till they have gone through the trying times of the Commune. It is a stirring and pathetic story, and presents a vivid picture of the days of the Commune without in- sisting on some of the more terrible episodes of that awful time. If a boy desires to know something of the Barricades and what life meant to a stranger in a city torn by a great insurrection, he could not do better than read The lied Terror. Nor do we think either the Communists or the troops would complain of Mr. King's treatment of the scenes and the actors of the drama. Grandpapa Drubol and Frank and Willie are real people, and their adventures are thrilling and fascinating to the very end.
