"The Heart of the Ancient Wood" is
0pe of those weird, romantic stories
Which the reader will never forget.
The heroine, Miranda, whom all the

gold through the chapters is wholly
charming.
Within the past two years short sto-
ries have become almost as popular
In America as they have been for ages
In France and in Norway. But news
papers and magazines that have at
tempted to meet the demand of fiction
readers in this line have complained
and are complaining that the Ameri-
can writer of romance is yet lacking
in the art of creating an interestins 9
