The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1895-07-25

ing book OF romance and adventure hat
has been given to the world this year. 1t
is different from other works OF Mr..
Stockton. The humor l, not equal TO
that OF "Rudder Granger but the delight
fol play Of imagination which makes all
Mr.. Stockton's books exceptional is pres
ent here. 1t is refreshing to meet such a
volume. The author can tell impossible
things in such a plausible way as to
make them seem real. Capt. Horn with
some companions Ia wrecked on the
Peruvian coast. Here he accidentally
stumbles On the golden wealth of the
Incas stored away in a queer mound
The many adventures consequent upon
this discovery, including a pleasing love
story make up the volume. The tale Is
told in the authors best style and in
some ways Is his best book, his earlier
works not excepted. Published by
Charles Scribners & Sons, New York, 70
mo. 404 PIP. Price s1.5o.
