Beyond the shadow Of doubt this II
the most interesting story we have read
from the pen OF this author. and while
the plot Is not a particularly new one It
IL well covered. the action being well
worked up and the characters well placed
and described
There are many intense and. one misht
say, hair ising situations running
through the book: the kind that makes
the reader wonder what Is going TO hap
pen on the next page These several
situations are really more than we'll pic
tured and are perhaps the principal fea-
lures OF tho tale. although on the whole
II Il all well woven together, with that
little dash OF a love story that seems
absolutely necessary In all stories.
The principal character Is one Dick
Brewster. whose love for poor white
trash girl gets him into serious dificulty.
Circumstantal evidence shows that he
has evidently committed murder. which
in reality was by another. Shortly after
conviction he escapes. goes west. begins
life anew and II II his experiences and
the life In the west that really makes up
the book. or course its finale is AZ we all
expect-he Is shown TO be innocent by
tho dying words Of the real murderer
and everything ends in satisfactory
manner.
