A NEW STORY TODAY,

Cleveland Moffett's new and absorb
ing detective story begins today on an
other page of the Times Republican. 1t
is a tale of French detective work on
a blind trail in Paris and is one of the
best and most interesting detective
stories written by Mofett> or indeed by
any author It is not a gruesome story
tho murder and battle and sudden
death appear TO startle and mystify. A
pleasant little love story threads its
way thru the mystery and furnishes
the high light to tale of crime and
OF a peculiarly monstrous criminal.
AS the reader follows the windings
and devious turnings of the plot the
interest is clutched and held tighter
and closer as each new development is
reached 1t is a story where the
shrewdest guesser will find himself
puzzled until the denouernent is
reached Gaboriau never planned
better mystery or wrote more absorb
ing story of French criminals and their
ingenious foes the French detective
force than Mr.. Moffett has given us in
