Publishers. indianapolis,
The author of this has given full
evidence heretofore in her stories,
"The Game and the Candle and
"The Flying Mercury Of her power
of imagination and skill in construc.
ton, description, and depletion OF
character In this work she is at her
best. 1t is a story of abundant action,
of lively endeavor, and Of successful
accomplishment, often in the face OF
encouragement and danger. The story
is oDe largely treating on the automo-
bile business and racing, in which a
girl plays a dual personality, at one
time as a boy friend of the hero, and
at the other time as the sister and
twin of that boy. The complications
that ensue are diverting at times, and
in the end they seem likely to bring
more or less confusion, but all is made
satisfactory and sure. 1t is brisk,
lively story, very well told indeed

alas that there must be a butt The
old piqnancy no longer stlrs as before.
The old charm is here, to be sure, but
