by Arthur Cotton; ''The Ghost of the Tus-
quittee." by Luther Roberts. and "a Voyage
in Shadows" by Emery Pottle.
While eech of these stories holds a de-
gree of interest all its own. yet "a Voyage in
Shadows" is SO decidedly one of the few really
valuable short stories found among the mass

age In Shadows and forget 1t soon nor fail
to feel the strong undercurrent of philosophy
which might make us question the validity
and usefulness of our own most cherished
ideals.
