The Blunders of a Bashful Man
Victor, Metta Victoria Fuller
Humorous stories; Young men -- Fiction
[Illustration]
Ordinarily Spriggs was a cracksman, but the information he gained
while at work one night so surprised him, that he forgot to "burgle,"
and then and there decided to get busy on a job that meant a cleanup
of a $60,000 diamond. It led him a perilous chase in which the native
priests and followers of a hidden band in India showed him some things
not seen on the "Strand."
He also has trouble awaiting him on his return to England. His heart
is in the right place, however, a little kindness, sympathy and help
having been all that were required to change his attitude toward
humanity, and he is able to show his gratitude at an opportune moment.

THE LETTERS OF
MILDRED'S MOTHER TO MILDRED
BY E. D. PRICE,
shows one of the sides with which you may not be familiar.
Mildred is a girl in the chorus at one of New York's famous theatres,
and her mother is a woman who "travels" with a friend by the name of
Blanche. The book is written by E. D. Price, "The Man Behind the
Scenes," one well qualified to touch upon the stage-side of life.
The following is the Table of Contents:
Mother at the Races.
Mother at a Chicago Hotel.
Mother Goes Yachting.
Mother Escapes Matrimony,
Mother Meets Nature's Noblemen.
Mother Joins the Repertoire Company.
Mother in the One Night Stands.
Mother and the Theatrical Angel.
Mother Returns to Mildred.
Read what Blakely Hall says of it:
"I don't know whether you are aware of it or not, but you
are turning out wonderful, accurate and convincing character
studies in the Mildred's Mother articles. They are as
refreshing and invigorating as showers on the hottest July
day."
The book contains 160 pages, with attractive cover in colors. Price,
cloth bound, $1.00; paper cover, 50 cents. For sale by all booksellers
everywhere, or sent by mail, postpaid, upon receipt of price. Address
