There will be time enough when he has finished to marvel at the authors dexterity in making a limitless succession of motives and sensational strokes of hand dovetail to perfection" i" z The New York Sun says: "All the requirements for first class detective tale are more than met by MT. Fred M. Whites 'The Crimson Blind'' (R. F. E sF56I1IlO anu SUIupdHy.J It IS Dy HU means short story, but the reader will read it breathlessly to the end. He is plunged at once into a mystery, as he should be in every well-constructed tale of the sort and is led rapidly out of one complication into another, enough be ing explained to satisfy his mind for the moment, but more remaining unac- counted for till he has read further.
 There is little of preternatural wisdom in the tale; what knowledge is obtained comes naturally enough. The villain has, no redeenling trait and is bad enough to satisfy the most exacting The play between his moves and those of his detectives is kept in suspense skillfully.' ..-.
