West Africa, n red-headed man. n quad
room girl and business woman There
are four ingredients such as were never
before used respectively together as the
scene the hero and the two heroines of n
modern novel. All are misunderstanding
the fact of the two heroines. And all
combine to blend into the most exciting
faction story ever written.
The story Is Kate Meredith Finan-
cier." 1t is By C. ]. CSitclffe Hyne. Be
sides being his best novel. 1t IL also so
startlingIy original as to defy every con
vention. That however, is only one OF
fifty reasons why 1t Is going to be the
book OF the year. South Africa has been
done to death.r both In fiction and In his
torical and travel books. North africa's
countless Egyptian romances date back
to Plutarchs day. But it remained for
Cutcliffe Hyne to lift the impenetrable
that has, through all time,
brooded over. West Africa. No novelist
heretofore has used 1t as the scene OF q
romance. Principally because no r..fel-
ist. except Mr. Cutcliffe Hyne. ever dared
live there or to study the place. for west
Africa has an unpleasant way of hillinS
foreigners Off. OF hand. Brave beyond
ordinary must be the man who darea
face its awful climate. it's lurking fevers.
the cunning treachery of its savages. the
death that crouches ever IN its jungles.
Such rarity. however. Is the author
of Kate Meredith, Financier." He has
survived his own experience there. and
he has carried thenceFa thousand secrets
of the weird life and customs of the coun-
| try These he has woven into the web
| of romance that is so compellingly strong
and Astounding In thrilling adventures as
| to grip the readers every faculty as can
| no other fiction work now in vogue.
Nor is Kate Meredith. Financier," n
mere adventure story There is compi-
Gated, enthralling love interest through
out, of a sort to appeal to every normal

The Secret.
Tive passed me in the lane to-day,
so close they seemed bus one;
When all the noon was sweet with hay,
And tremulous with sun.
30 joined their hands, so near their eyes
II They gave less thought to me
,rfan to tile drifting butterflies
THAT bore them company.
They glanced not where stood apart;
Et1 heard them speak no word;
Yet something trembled in my heart
As though dead thing stirred;
AS though an aforementioned song
IS Thrilled somewhere in my brain;
fOr eyes forgotten overlong
Looked in mine own again.
All. Welt fingered in the shade;
They passed me in the sun;
"A staiwart lad, little maid,
SO close they seemed but one.
Il know not what they bade mo know,
Yet surely once | knew;
But ! hive lost the secret now.
,And nowhere find the clue.
