As a penalty for her crimes, her evil nature, her flint-like callousness,
her more than inhuman cruelty, her contempt for the laws of God and man,
she was condemned to bury her magnificent personality, her transcendent
beauty, her superhuman charms, in gilded obscurity at a King’s left hand.
A powerful story powerfully told.
THE GOLDEN GREYHOUND. A Novel by Dwight Tilton. With illustrations by E.
Pollak.
A thoroughly good story that keeps you guessing to the very end, and never
attempts to instruct or reform you. It is a strictly up-to-date story of
love and mystery with wireless telegraphy and all the modern improvements.
The events nearly all take place on a big Atlantic liner and the romance
of the deep is skilfully made to serve as a setting for the romance, old
as mankind, yet always new, involving our hero.
