American wit and humor
If you have read any of the detective stories which we have recommended
to you, such as THE WORLD’S FINGER, MACON MOORE, Etc., you know that our
statements in regard to their being “the real thing” were not overdrawn.
We now have another one just as good, which we unhesitatingly recommend.
It is entitled

THE HOUSE
BY THE RIVER.
BY
FLORENCE WARDEN.
WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY OF IT.
“Florence Warden is the Anna Katharine Greene of England. She
apparently has the same marvelous capacity as Mrs. Rohlfs for
concocting the most complicated plots and most mystifying
mysteries, and serving them up hot to her readers.”—_N. Y.
Globe._
“The author has a knack of intricate plot-work which will keep
an intelligent reader at _her_ books, when he would become tired
over far better novels not so strongly peppered. For even the
‘wisest men’ now and then relish not only a little nonsense, but
as well do they enjoy a thrilling story of mystery. And this is
one—a dark, deep, awesome, compelling if not convincing
tale.”—_Sacramento Bee._
“The interest of the story is deep and intense, and many guesses
might be made of the outcome, as one reads along, without
hitting on the right one.”—_Salt Lake Tribune._
This book contains 310 pages, printed in large clear type, and is bound
in handsome paper cover. It is for sale by booksellers and newsdealers
everywhere, or it will be sent by mail, postpaid, upon receipt of price,
25 cents. Address all orders to

MACON MOORE,
... THE ...
SOUTHERN DETECTIVE.
[Illustration]
Here is another rattling good book that we unhesitatingly recommend to
every one who enjoys a thrilling detective story. Each chapter contains
a startling episode in the attempt of MACON MOORE to run to earth a gang
of moonshiners in Southern Georgia, whose business was that of
manufacturing illicit whisky.
His capture by the “Night Riders,” and his daring escape from them at
their meeting in the Valley of Death, forms one of the many exciting
incidents of the story.
One of our readers writes to us as follows:
“I was absolutely unable to stop reading “Macon Moore” until I
had finished it. I expected to read for an hour or so, but the
situations were so dramatic and exciting at the end of each
chapter, that before I knew it I had started the next one. I
have read it three times, once while practicing exercises on the
piano, and shall read it again. It is a corker.”
