The Eagle's Nest

"The Eagle's Nest" by S. E. Cartwright is a brightly written story of three country-bred children, how they built themselves a delightful playground refuge in a beach-tree on their father' farm, and how they fell in with Lewis Brand, unknown to their parents. Lewis was a bad boy who had been expelled from two schools, and hence the friendship was productive of ill results. Wherein lies the moral, but it is so skillfully concealed till the last chapter, and then only hinted at, and the games with which the young Wests diverted themselves are so amusingly set forth, that the reader feels sure nothing bad will come of the friendship.
