He heard two
men talking-
on, the train, about Marian
Harlan and he knew the girl
with them was she whomLarry
Harlan had begged him to pro
tect. His job was cut out for
him even then, though neither
he nor she knew it.
It is a rapid-fire story of thrill
ing fights, close calls and hand-to-hand
battles with politic
ians, crooks and "bad men" for
the mastery of a town and the
love of a girl.
In order that no storj that O. lleurj
wrote, might be lost, his publishers have
dug out from the newspapers nuel maga
zines of the Inst fifteen eara twelve
tales which tho author hntl not included
In his books during his life. They are
issued along with a lot of biographical
and nnccdotnl matter In n nltimc called
"Walfs and Strajs."

his best work, but tlic fall a long way

that he rewrote and polished till they

the N'cw York police department based
on Its failure to detect crime, a tale so
local in its application that it is not

Merrick
knows men so well that men who will hardly read
another novel in a year chuckle in delight over a Merrick
story because he gets to where a man really lives.
He knows women "catches their likenesses to the last
fleeting expression," says V. D. Howells, and men who
think they understand women.
The man who has not read Merrick's Conrad in Quest of
His Youth would buy a copy on his way home tonight if he
' appreciated how unusual a pleasure lies in its enthralling

Mr. Chamberlain lias been in the American foreign service fifteen

in anticipation of the publication of his novel Not Ah the King's Horses.
For he wrote the story believing his first obligation was to his fellow

the honest and the inside facts, all in the hope that, once knowing they

THE BOX WITH

Author of "The Wicked Marquis"
In "The Box With Broken Seals" Mr.
Oppenheim unfolds a thrilling narrative of
a German spy, Jocelyn Thew, and the Eng
lish secret service.
"This story was written," says Mr. Op
penheim, "to explain exactly how the impor
wrtant documents which were not found in the
. chest with broken seals belonging to Ambas
sador von Bernstorff when he sailed from
America, were conveyed to Europe."
The reader follows with avidity the daring moves of Thew
from the time he sails from New York on the "Cily of Boston,"
accompanied by a dying man and a special nurse in the person
of Katherine Beverly, a society girl who is under obligations to
Thew, to the climax, which will surpribe even the inveterate
Oppenheim reader.

Author of "The Bedtime Story-Books"
All children who have lead "The Bed

gess book. Although told in story form, this
is an authoritative bird book, so written as
to arouse the interest of even the littlest tots
in their feathered neighbors and at the same
time, enable them to recognize them.
Thiols the story of the four jears
of varied service in the English fight
ing forces, of the younger brother of
Cosmo Hamilton, novelist and play
wright, and Philip Gibbs, famous war
correspondent. Major Gibbs, liko his
brothers, possesses the gift of writing.
As an enlisted man, and as an officer,
his experiences were unusually varied.
His is, therefore, one of the most in
teresting, most illuminating, of the
personal narratives that have come
out of the wax. And it is also a pas
sionate protest against war and a
strong plea for tolerance, kindliness and
brotherhood in the practice of peace.
