Meredith Nicholson's New Story

It's a great thing to be able to Jug

ment or praise had blazoned its merits.
The Port of Missing Men" is even
more alluring as title. The story Is
good, too; but, unhappily, not as good
as the title. 1t is a galloping story of
adventure and romance, with a real
surprise at the end. The hero is worthy
of anthony Hope-so perfect, so flaw
less. He deshes at a breath taking
