I don't suppose you even realize that the firebug talks to you almost every day about catching the firebug? That's me. They never caught me in Chicago or anywhere else, so you might as well quit looking for me and take your medicine." " The Firebug' npHAT was the warning which came to the fire chief, unsigned — and then, the very next day, a woman was found nearly dead in a burning building. It was a mystery that needed the master mind of Craig Kennedy, the scientific detective of this day — Craig Kennedy, who came to life in the mind of ARTHUR B.

He has taken science — -science that stands for this age — and allied it to the mystery and romance of detective fiction. Even to the smallest detail, every bit of the plot is worked out scientifically. For nearly ten years America has been watching his Craig Kennedy — marvelling at the strange, new, startling things that detective-hero would unfold ! Col. Roosevelt said : — "I did a lot of reading. I particularly enjoyed half a dozen rattling good detective stories by Arthur B. Reeve — some of them were corkers." jib j-ji , * \h~rt ^s i > > %4k «*V £« i Such plots — such suspense — with real, vivid people moving through the maelstrom of life !
