That has nothing on Riley Sinclair. Riley has just killed a man and was hoping that he would kill another soon to avenge the death of his brother. Yet he would not let "Cold Feet" call him "friend" because he had his own idea of the real meaning of that word. That's the kind of a man Riley was, in this startling W estern story. The stage during a play is an unusual place for a murder, and this happened during a dark scene, when six shots were a part of the play — the seventh was not called for, but it killed Alan Mortimer, who had few friends and many enemies who had plenty of motive for the crime; but was it intended and who did itf Some detective story! Big Bill Stuart expected his father, called "hard boiled" to have trouble when he was fired, and got another job, and he did! It began in his father's office and ended in the North W oods and Bill enjoyed every minute. He liked fighting for a gold mine, and he got something even better. An adventure story that centers in a third year medical student who had nothing to do, but he found plenty after he accepted the berth of a ship's surgeon, on a dirty, little cargo steamer which landed him at Santo Domingo where he was employed by a planter. Is it wise for a widower with a lovely daughter to marry again, particularly if he is a ranchman? Ed. Fraser tried it to the glee of his enemies and the apprehension of his friends. The story contains a slippery, wily individual who manages to live without working. No wonder the heroine carried a gun! The note was not signed but Helen Gilmore knew who it was from. Not so many men in her happily married life were asking her to meet them, and she was afraid — of what? W ell, that is what the local reporter, looking for news found out and. solved a mystery. Do you believe in heredity? Peter Lawton didn't until he became entangled in the lawless Black Company and then he did some real fighting to combat his great-great-grandfather's influence. A thrilling romance of a Mexico coffee plantation that will do much toward changing the opinion that Mexicans are wily, unreliable, and quarrelsome. Big business is represented in this story of American business life. Joe Lynch, the man who made millions in motors, little by little substitutes the craze for money-making and luxuriant living for the joy of actual accomplishment. Some man! A time stealer is this mystery story in which Mr. Cole shows that he is a criminologist of the first water, and as good as a blood-hound in trailing crooks! Ever meet Dr. Bentiron? Well, if you read this story you will never forget him. for it is a story of one of the most baffling and mysterious crimes ever committed.
