ver written a better story than "A Millionaire of
Yesterday." He grips the reader's attention at the start by his vivid
picture of the two men in the West African bush making a grim fight for
life and fortune, and he holds it to the finish. The volume is thrilling
throughout, while the style is excellent.

THE MAN AND HIS KINGDOM

Illustrated by CH. GRUNWALD. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50

This brilliant, nervous, and intensely dramatic tale of love, intrigue,
and revolution in a South American State is so human and life-like that
the reader is bewildered by the writer's evident daring, and his equal
fidelity to things as they are.
