The assumption by Henry James of British citizenship was a symbolic act, a unique demonstration to all the world of his devotion to the Allied cause. To that cause also he dedicated the last efforts of his genius. In these moving, poignant pages, the heroism of ravaged Belgium and Fiance, the war effort of Britain, the rich outflow of American philanthropy are enshrined with all the master’s old matchless beauty of thought and form. THE SKELETON KEY By BERNARD CAPES (Author of ‘WHERE ENGLAND SETS HER FEET’) This story deals with a crime committed in the grounds of a country house, and the subsequent efforts of a clever young detective to discover the perpetrator. There is an amusing love interest and strong characterisation. The scene is laid in Paris and Hampshire. MR. MISFORTUNATE By MARJORIE BOWEN (Author of ‘THE BURNING GLASS’) The story is of _Young Mr. Misfortunate_ (as Charles Edward Stewart was styled by the Whigs of his time) after the disaster of the ’45 Scottish Expedition to his meeting with Clementina Walkinshaw in 1753. It opens in Scotland, but is mainly placed in Paris and its environs, in palace and slum, with one change to Venice. The theme is the little known adventures that led to the downfall of a cause and a man--the most lovable and unfortunate of all the lovable and unfortunate Stewarts. THE ADVENTURESS By ARTHUR B. REEVE An American from Maddox Munitions, Incorporated, the owners of a new war invention--the telautomaton, forms the centre round which this exciting mystery tale is built. In trying to answer the ever-present question ‘Who killed Marshall Maddox?’ the reader is tossed about a sea of conjecture by two strong main currents which continually cross and recross each other and keep him mystified till the end of the book. Scientific inventiveness--at times diabolical in its ruthless ingeniousness, plays no less strong a part than does Paquita, the adventuress. Was the death of Maddox retributive for his double life or was it due to the covetousness of some schemer. It required a detective of Craig Kennedy’s acumen to discover. UNDER THE PERISCOPE By LIEUT.
