Abduction -- Fiction; Detective and mystery stories; New York (State) -- Fiction
Zelda Dameron is in all ways a splendid and successful story. There is
about it a sweetness, a wholesomeness and a sturdiness that will commend
it to earnest, kindly and wholesome people.
_Boston Transcript_
The whole story is thoroughly American. It is lively and breezy
throughout--a graphic description of a phase of life in the Middle West.
_Toledo Blade_
A love story of a peculiarly sweet and attractive sort,--the
interpretation of a girl's life, the revelation of a human heart.

LOVE IN LIVERY
* * * * *
THE MAN
ON THE BOX
By HAROLD MACGRATH
Author of The Puppet Crown and The Grey Cloak
* * * * *
This is the brightest, most sparkling book of the season, crisp as a new
greenback, telling a most absorbing story in the most delightful way.
There never was a book which held the reader more fascinated.
_Albany Times-Union_
The best novel of the year.
_Seattle Post-Intelligencer_
Satire that stops short of caricature, humor that never descends to
burlesque, sentiment that is too wholesome and genuine to verge upon
sentimentality, these are reasons enough for liking The Man on the Box,
quite aside from the fact that it is a refreshing novelty in fiction.

BLACK FRIDAY
By FREDERIC S. ISHAM
Author of The Strollers and Under the Rose
* * * * *
There is much energy, much spirit, in this romance of the gold corner.
Distinctly an opulent and animated tale.
_New York Sun_
Black Friday fascinates by its compelling force and grips by its human
intensity. No better or more absorbing novel has been published in a
decade.
_Newark Advertiser_
The love story is handled with infinite skill. The pictures of "the
street" and its thrilling, pulsating life are given with rare power.

WANTED:
A COOK
BY ALAN DALE
* * * * *
An uproariously funny comedy-novel of a self-conscious couple in contact
with the servant question. Their ludicrous predicaments with their cooks
are described with a light, farcical quality and a satire that never
fail to entertain.
"A good story well told. In every sentence a hearty laugh and many an
irrepressible chuckle of mirth."
_New York American_
Bound in decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.50

BY PAULINE BRADFORD MACKIE
* * * * *
"An amusing love story, which is certain to win instant favor. Fresh,
enthusiastic, and daintily lyrical."
