_Bookman_: "Much of that exquisite egotism, the huge, artistic Me
and the tiny universe, that gluttony of the emotions, of the whole
peculiar compound of hysteria, inspiration, vanity, insight and
fidgets, which goes to make up that delightful but somewhat rickety
thing which we call the artistic temperament is reproduced.... The
'Diary of a Musician' does what most actual diaries fail to
do--writes down a man in full."

Two Noteworthy Detective Stories by Burton E. Stevenson
The Marathon Mystery
With five scenes in color by ELIOT KEEN
4th printing. $1.50
This absorbing story of New York and Long Island to-day has been
republished in England. Its conclusion is most astonishing.
_N. Y. Sun_: "Distinctly an interesting story--one of the sort that
the reader will not lay down before he goes to bed."
_N. Y. Post_: "By comparison with the work of Anna Katharine Green
... it is exceptionally clever ... told interestingly and well."
_N. Y. Tribune_: "=The Holladay Case= was a capital story of crime
and mystery. In =The Marathon Mystery= the author is in even firmer
command of the trick. He is skillful in keeping his reader in
suspense, and every element in it is cunningly adjusted to
preserving the mystery inviolate until the end."
_Boston Transcript_: "The excellence of its style, Mr. Stevenson
apparently knowing well the dramatic effect of fluency and brevity,
and the rationality of avoiding false clues and attempts unduly to
mystify his readers."
_Boston Herald_: "This is something more than an ordinary detective
story. It thrills you and holds your attention to the end. But
besides all this the characters are really well drawn and your
interest in the plot is enhanced by interest in the people who play
their parts therein."
_Town and Country_: "The mystery defies solution until the end. The
final catastrophe is worked out in a highly dramatic manner."
The Holladay Case
With frontispiece by ELIOT KEEN
7th printing. $1.25
A tale of a modern mystery of New York and Etretat that has been
republished in England and Germany.
_N. Y. Tribune_: "Professor Dicey recently said, 'If you like a
detective story take care you read a good detective story.' This is
a good detective story, and it is the better because the part of
the hero is not filled by a member of the profession.... The reader
will not want to put the book down until he has reached the last
page. =Most ingeniously constructed and well written into the
bargain.="
