by John ID. Wi liams, "a W, Four.
teenth street, New York, the author,
John Emerse (who, TO oil appear.
ances. Is lady mssquerading under a
nom de plume, has undertaken most
exactiDg and serious task that of de
plotting by typical characters the ten.

book does not flag from 6rst to last,

literary standing for him-or her,
