"He writes of South Africa with the sure knowledge, the sympathy, and
almost with the vigor that Mr. Kipling bestows upon his Hindu stories....
His strongly picturesque and eventful tale of adventure and warfare ...
there is no false sentiment ... the narrative of their long march, their
triumphs, their betrayal and finally their brave death is thrilling."--_N.
Y. Times._
"An extraordinary piece of work.... South Africa may be said to have her
Kipling in him."--_Miss Gilder in N. Y. World._
"There is a fascination about them ... unlike any of the hundreds of
volumes of short stories that have been given us during the past few
years."--_Boston Times._
=THE MASTER-KNOT AND "ANOTHER STORY." By CONOVER DUFF.=
Two tales told in letters. The first shows how "the master-knot of human
fate" strangely linked two lovers in a Long Island house party with a
quarry riot in Ohio. The second is full of breezy humor and describes New
York life, uptown, in the park, and at the opera.
"Happily imagined and neatly worked out ... a high order of work."--_New
York Times._
"Whoever has written these stories has a delicate touch and a keen insight
... very cleverly told indeed, and the uncertainty is kept up to the last
moment ... happy in its strength and delicacy. Altogether a precious little
book, dealing with worldly people, who can be unconventional and loyal and
consistently American."--_Philadelphia Ledger._
