Thaddeus of Warsaw

By JANE PORTER Condensation by SARA WARE BASSETT WITH the Great War in which Poland has won her freedom still fresh in our memory, we re-read with renewed interest the old-time classic Thaddeus of Warsaw.

The story takes place at that grim era of history when the little kingdom of Poland was attacked by Russia and Austria, and, having been defeated under the leadership of Kosciusko, was forced to sign the ignominious treaty of partition that gave her territory to the conquerors and wiped her name from off the roll of free nations. From that date until this Poland, as an independent country, has not existed.
