@MademolseIlc of Monte Carlo.- BY
William Le Queux. With frontis-
piece. New York City: The Ma
caulay Co.. 1917 West Thirty-eighth
street. Price. Sits, net.
'Mademoiselle OF Monte Carlo" was
n mysterious woman. an habitue of the
great gambling establishment and a
winner to a phenomenal extent. To
most OF the world she was mystery.
but the reader learns she was an agent
OF the great criminal conspiracy of
which ''The Sparrow was the head.
which conducted gigantic stealing
operations in Europe ana in this coun-
try, with success that baffied the
police OF all the countries involved.
Into the operations of this band of
high-grade thieves, Mr.. lie Queux
Introduces Hugh Henfrey and his ro-
nance. Hugh loved Dorise Rams
oombe, the daughter OF rich widow,
but he was poor himself, although with
prospects if he married a certain other
woman, as was provided in his fathers
will, when he would inherit a million.
This will had been signed by Hugh's
father in the belief that it was another
and different document, the scheme
having been engineered by conspi-
rators who sought the old mans
wealth, and who intended TO make
away with Hugh after his marriage
and secure the fortune.
These conspirators had murdered
Hugh's father, and he was desirous
OF bringing them 10 justice. Mademoi-
selle, he was sure, possessed the secret
and he called upon her at Monte Car
10. But just as she was about tc re-
veal to him the name of the murder
ers, she was struck down and we'll
nigh killed by a mysterious shot. And
Hugh was suspected Of having fired
that shot.
Then THE Sparrow" stepped in and
determined that thic innocent young
man should not unjustly suffer
Through his secret agents he kept him
on the jump from one place to another
evading the hand of the law. His
enforced absence from home, ana hi,
inability TO tell the entire story to hi,
love almost caused an estrangement
but finally the entire mystery wa.
cleared up and both hearts were mad,
happy.
The charm Of the story is in the in
trieacies it reveals OF the ramifca
tons of THE Sparrow's" giganti
thieving operations, and of the rar
skill and ability of the master han,
at the head. 1t was all ll-unlawful o
course, but "The Sparrow was a sor
of Claude DuvaI in his way, robbin,
the rich, especially the c6nscience.es
war 'profiteers," and helping the poo
and unfortunate. And SO the story
although not laid along strictly mora
lines, is amazingly interesting, with
wealth of exciting incidents that hold
the reader TO its perusal clear to tn
end without break.
