THE CAMBRIDGE MYSTERY. BY Grace
Tyler Pratt. l2mo PIP. 900. Boston:
Sherman, French & Co.
One Of the first rules Of the detective
story is that the real criminal shall be
''in the picture from the very first. In
one way the author of this decidedly
clever tale keeps this rule, but In spirit
she breaks it, since the cause of the crime
is an arbitrary invention, with no bearing
on what has gone before. and therefore
. rather disappointing way of solving an
ingenious tangle. However, the book Is
somewhat of novelty in the selection
of quiet New England country town rs
its scene, with New England characters
TO match. The town constable, resenting
the interference of outside detective skill,
is an amusing character. who calmly de-
cdes not To produce the only clue he dis
covers, a sleeve link, because it belongs
to the minister, although he was the last
man TO see the victim alive. This judg-
ment of suspects by the neighborhood's
long familiarity with their general char
acter and ways of life is introduced else.

altogether quite entertaining as a neigh
