The New York Times says: More even than the wit and the irony,
the sparkle which is as gay and as French as champagne, the exquisite
style and unfailing deftness of plot, it is his extraordinary ability to
make even the least important of his characters real human beings that
renders his stories so very exceptional.

THRILLING TALES
BY SAX ROHMER
A Novelist Who Pits the Wit
of the East Against That
of the West
Sa Itohmcr has achieved a reputa
tion for writing mystery stories of a
most unusual kind. He pits the wit nnd
ingenuity of the Orlcntnl against these
qualities in the Occidental, and the
Oriental usually wins. He has fallowed
his formula in two new books which
have been published this fall. One is
"Dope" nnd the other "The Quest of
the Sacred Slipper."
"Dope" was frankly written to ex
pose the methods of the illicit dealers iu
drugs in London. 'It was provoked bj
the sensational death a year or two ago
of Miss Hillie Carlcton, an actress, from
an overdose of drugs, after attending
n ball. Itohmcr makes his heroine a
young woman who had been on the
stage, had contracted the drug-taking
habit through the Influence of nn un
scrupulous man who wished to use her
for his pleasure, nnd had married a
rich and influential Londoner, much tn
the disappointment of the man who uy
been pursuing her. AVhen the story
opens her husband bad grown suspi
cious of her faithfulness and hnd been
employing detectives to watch her. She
is traced to the rooms of nn alleged
Oriental interpreter of dreams in com
pany with the man who had taught her
to use drugs. When the husband, with ,
the aid of the polire. breaks into tho
rooms he finds nothing there but the

not a Hoy Scout book, but is a book
that Hoy Scouts will like. It is by
Alfred Hishop Mason, Who hns written

his mettle by carrying dispatches of Im-
portaiHc for the President. His ad
ventures are all told against a back
ground of liistory that makes this period
of our history easy to read and ns

is the selector and editor of "The Hoy

form the several penetrating nnd signifi
cant papers contributed from France,
the scene of action, sacrifice nnd service,
to American magazines during the period
of Amcrici's ptrticipntion in the battle
for world freedom.
The book is much too modestly en
titled. To he sine, it is n chronicle
of the minutiae of the war, but not in
any trivial or petty sense ; rather in
the large aspect of the aggregate and
accumulation of details which spoil ast
and vital significances, botli ethical and
spiritual'
For Mrs. Deland interprets the odd
ments of 'the day., the commonplaces of
routine, the daily serving and suffering
that compri'ed life in war-stricken
Fiance: she sees beneath the surface
and reads something of the soul. So
her chapters that reveal the sacrifice
and the vision nre lustrous nnd luminous
still, although the dark days of 1017
and miS which called the various pa
pers into print have passed, let us hope
forever. Hnppier records will be in

it will be well for the civilization that
was saved to have iu such books ns

horrors, the terrors, the infelicity of
the past.

HENRI BARBUSSE'S great novel
JLi(ji
By the Author of "Under Pire"
More than a year ago Mr. Ernest Poole declared in one of the Sun's
Symposiums: "By all odds the most significant book I have read
in the last year is Under Fire. That seems to tower above all war
stories that have yet been written. And still I feel '. . . that a
greater novel will be written by an author who will say 'the most
significant thing of the war is the story of its effect on one man's
mind and spirit,' and I shall be very greatly surprised If some one
. . . does not write this book for which I am waiting."
Precisely such a book M. Barbusse has himself pro
duced in this new novel "Light." $1.90

In addition to the conflict of social problems in IRON CITY, there are
the passionate and spiritual struggles of finely portrayed men and women
