.erhe scarIet shadoyy.w

There is a glamour of romance about newspaper life that has an tr- resistible fascination for the average mind, ana this is we'll reflected In Walter Hurts remarkable novel. The Scarlet Shadow" Being himself a practical newspaper man. and there fore thoroughly familiar with his sub feet, the author has produced a work that is gratifyingly free from those ab- surd inconsistencies which mar most stories of the Fourth Estate, and gives his readers a graphic glimpse into that charmed domain.
 The tale is based on the celebrated Haywood case, and the bold and clever work by newspaper correspondents in solving the mysery of the Steunenberg murder affords opportunity for the de- veIopment of a most ingenious plot, lavishly laden with thrilling incident. The abundant material and dramatic possibilities of thhe great labor war in Colorado which eliminated in one of the most astrocious crimes of the century, are utilized to excellent ad- vantage. The author was present on the stage of his story during the greater part of the period with which if deals, and this has enabled him to dispense a definite local color.
 In the variety of his work, Mir. Hurt shows the true newspaper versatility, giving us, with swl1t transltioh' traB- edy. humor pathos, satire, poetry. philosophy and some admirable de- scriptive writing.
 This book is a rather remarkable commingIing of excitement and eco- monies, but the plot consists. the char acters are convincing, the love ele- ment Is judiciously proportioned. and human interest" Is sustained, the con- tiict of personalities is intensely dra- matic, and the mystery is impenetra- ble until the reader has reached the daring denouement. Altogether. it is one of the most absorbing romances that has appeared this season. Pub lished by The Appeal Pub. Co.,, Girard, Kan
