THE STORY GIRL By 1. n. MOuisonsy.
OF this author Mark Twain once wrote
TO Francis Wilson: 'Tn Anne Shirley
you viii hnd the dearest and most NOV
ing and delightful child Of fiction since
the immortal Alice" So popular, in
deed, has been her hrst book, Anne of
Green Gables" that 1t is now IN Its
twenty-ninth edition.
The environment OF this new tale Is
again the authors beloved Prince Ed
wards Island, and the story and Incl
dents possess the same simplicity and
charm which characterize Miss Mont
gomery's earlier works. The story girl
herself seems to be fond OF ghosts 'and
things and tells OF many marvellous
happenings. including The Mystery Of
the Golden milestone" How kissing
Was Discovered" and Of just how the
Milky Way happened into the heavens.
The work is highly imaginative and OF
artistic creation. Miss Montgomery pos
sesses a sympathetic knowledge OF humGn
nature. has high ideals, and decided
gift OF description. AS this volume has
already run through three editions since
its first impression IN May, 1911, II well
exhibits the public appreciation. IL e.

MISS BILLY. By Eleanor n. Porter.
This is also a story upon which the
public has set its stamp Of approval. for
it Is already in its fourth edition. "Mur-
der will OUT" and the best test OF the
value OF a volume is the loud demand
for It's republication.
Billy is a very dainty and pretty
little girl with pink cheeks. a wealth
OF curly hair, and the sweetest OF smiles
When one first meets her in the story
she is all that her name implies-an i'm
pulsive, warm-hearted girl Of eighteen
who quite unknowingly succeeds in CON-
pletely upsetting the quiet and dignity OF
the Beacon street household of the Hen
shaw boys, who have hitherto lived an
uneventful life in The Strata" an old
Boston mansion upon one Of the Bach
Bays most exclusive streets.
Miss Billy grows up. and, before she

NEW CLUE IN SARATOGA
HOTEL MYSTERY
A new clue, dragged from the
depths of the tenderloin, was
given the police today in the Sar-.
atoga Hotel murder case.
According to this clue, the
murdered woman was a mother
who came to Chicago in search of
daughter lured from her Michi-
gan home by white SLAYER.
The name of this mother was
Fosdick. Her home was in little
city in Michigan near Detroit.
The name of the daughter was
Clara.
The story was told to Captain
of Detectives Halpin today by
Miss Kate Adams, secretary to
Former Chief of Police Stewart.
Miss Adams, who has devoted
her life to fallen women, heard
the story whispered about the red
houses of the vice district.
This is the story:
The girl was only 10 years old.
Six months ago she was lured
away from her Michigan home by
the representative of Chicago
wholesale house.
The mother grieved over her
daughter, but believed that she
had eloped and married. Then she
heard that her daughter was in a
.rsort in Chicago's redlight dis
trict. She came to Chicago and
pitifully went about the redlight
district begging for information

The mother knew the name of
the man VIII chad lured her
daughter away from home.
1t came to the ears of the white
slavers that she was going to the
federal authorities. The next day
an agent of the white slavers call
ed on the mother.
Come with me to. the Sara
toga hotel" he said, "and I shall
take you to your daughter"
The mother went with the man.
The man registered for her at the
hotel. Promising that she would
see her daughter in few minutes,
he induced her to enter a room.
From that room the mother came
out with her lips sealed forever on
the secrets of the white slavers.
Captain Halpin is not much in
clined to take stock IN the story.
Miss Adams is convinced that
the story is true.
All the other clues of the po-
lice have failed to bear fruit.
