MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE
Tha Doer of Dread. (Hobbs-Merrlll.)
By Arthur Stringer.
We, have, to do with the United States
Mcret service, with foreign agents ami
International splen, with stolen secrets
of the nrmy and navy. The art of the
author unfolds a narrative of absorbing
Interest, sweeping the reader from epi
sode to episode, with a thrill on every
page.
Behind the 7?oI(ed Door. (Pndd,
Mead.) Tly Arthur K. McFarlane.
"Nearly every witness to a crime
keeps some little bit of evldenro bark,
through fear of consequences to him
self or to some other persons," Is the
theory of a nerve specialist in this story,
whose hobby Is detective work. "Kind
these bits of withheld evidence, piece
them together, and you will get the so
lution of the crime." Acting on this
theory, he tackles a mystery that the
trained detectives of the New York po
lice force have been unable to solve.
The Strange Cos of Maion Itrant,
(Llpplncott.) Hy Nevll Monroe Hop
Idna, Criminology Is a difficult art when we
know that a man can put a little radium
in your hat and drive you stark crazy.
This Is but one of the mysteries that
cross the path of Mason llrant, cosmo
politan gentleman. The author, a scien
tist, attacks the situation with a re
freshing originality.
The AIIM. (Small Maynard ) Hy
George Allan England
A mystery story which tells now the
cashier of a metropolitan bank planned
and executed the clever frame up that
sent an Innocent man to Slug Sing . how
the man In pilson lived, suffered mid es

A Diplomat's
VV1JCUIMCA1W
By EDITH O'SHAUGHNESSY
(Mrs. Nelson O'Shaughncssy)
Here for the first time written from the inside
is the truth of what went on behind the scenes
before the breaking off of relations between the
United States and Mexico. What Americans in
Mexico City feared; a country in revolution: what
diplomats thought of the United States policy:
gossip of drawing-rooms and accounts of personal
relations with statesmen, soldiers, and sailors, with
Huerta, Lind, Admiral Fletcher and others, in hours
when a diplomatic slip might mean war all these
make the book, written at the time the events took
place, by the wife of the American Charge d'Aff aires,
a contribution to American history, a book to arouse
much discussion.

The Heal Motive. (Holt.) By Dorothy
Canfleld.
L'nllke "Hillsboro People," this collec
tion of "short stories" has many diverse
backgrounds, but It Is not without unity,
becaus the author's rr.oln Interest Is In
tho underlying humanity which unites
nil her characters rather than In the ac
cidents of fortune nnd situation which
separate them. Some of the stories are
cheerful, some sad, some satiric, some
heroic; all are based on the Importance
of the sectct springs of human action
of what goes on under the surface of
ever day lives.
A Wentem TTartHcfc. (Doran.) By
Samuel O. Wythe.
Political fiction built around a big, si
lent manipulator of the destinies of a
nation, maker of presidents, dispenser of
millions, purchaser of n-en. Kor his own
political ends the most enormous con
splracy of capital that has ever been
conceived Is planned and directed by
him. The great money Interests, In re
turn for a government complaisant to
extreme high tariff and Immense monop
olistic combinations, place almost un
limited millions in his hands to buy the
country, He proceeds to buy It "lock,
stock and barrel." Why? Just for
power, for the game.
