Here is a tale of love, mystery, and adventure, that opens with a rush and holds the interest unflagging to the end. If you like a stirring love story, prepare to be fascinated by the charming but baffling heroine; if you enjoy an absorbing mystery, be ready to cudgel your brains over a perplexing one; if you care for adventures that thrill, follow Maurice Wynn through the mad whirl of events that befall him when he goes to Russia and becomes involved with a secret society of Nihilists. Better yet, if you're fond of a rattling good yarn, one which combines all three elements, love, mystery, and action, in just the right proportions, take up "The Red Symbol," and when you have turned the last page, with nerves all tingling, you will regret that you're not just starting. This swiftly moving narrative promises to be one of the most popular novels of 1910. By MRS. CHARLES N. CREWDSON AN AMERICAN BABY ABROAD When the American baby's mother hurries off from London to Egypt, where her husband is ill with fever, the baby, in company with its colored nurse and a friend of its mother's, follows more leisurely. The trio stop at Oberammergau to see the Passion Play, in Rome to witness a special mass conducted by Pope Leo,--in a word, do more or less sightseeing, until they finally reach Cairo, where much more exciting events befall them. The description of the places they visit is enhanced by a pleasant vein of humor, and an attractive love episode sustains the interest. It is an extremely entertaining story, light and vivacious, with brisk dialogue and diverting situations--just the book for summer reading. A series of characteristic pictures, by the well-known artist, Mr. R. F. Outcault, and Modest Stein gives additional charm to the volume.
