| THE LUMINOUS FACE. BY Carolyn
Wells. j. L. i.ippincott Company.
T IT'S a clever story that can keep
the reader guessing up to within
ten pages Of the end-and
The Luminous Face" manages to
do exactly this. 1t offers an ex-
cellent opportunity for the amateur
detective TO attempt TO solve the
mystery, since the reader, with the
characters. follows numerous '.blind"
clues before finding anything tan
gible.
Robert Gleason, visitor in New
York (about whom there seems to
be nothing Nmore Objectionable than
that he is a breezy Westerner"), is
murdered in his apartment directly
following u rather unusual discus
sion among his acquaintanees- These
five men. all members of the same
club. have been discussing motives
for murder. and one of them has
voiced the startling opinion that SIM
ply dislilling a man. objcctins to his
presence. is reason enough for kill
ing him. The other two young men
i'll this circle are in love with The
girl whom Gleason claims he has
suspicion. The murder is so cleverly
committed that no trace of the Grim
inal can be found, even by the finger
print method. since the only prints
are those OF the victim himself. Sus-
ricion falls first on one man. then on
the other. even on the girl herself.
who inherits half the fortune and adj
Inits her desperate need Of imncdi-
ate funds. Each one of the suspects

the same time n convincing 2iibi.
which coniuses The reader until he.
like the murdered mans sister. is
ready At the slightest suggestion t.
abandon all former ideas and turn
with eager interest To the new clew.
THE Luminous Face" is faScinat-
ing, intriguing. and yst a bit disap-
pointing in that one Of the most int
rortant problems of the story re-
mains unsolved with the closing of
the book. Robert Gleason was shot
twice. once in the left shoulder. once
in the temple. The shot in the
temple. which proved fatal. was fired
fist. and the second shot. according
t. the physicians. was fired after he
had been dead several minutes. Aud.
as one cf the characters says: HWhy
i'm heavens name should any one
shoot 4 man who is already dead"'|
Their are no dull moments in this
tale. ana there is much human liz
tercst. Having finished the book one
cannot resist the temptation 10 so
back and CHECK up" the various
points. and only then does one realize
the amazing cleverness of the plot
and the deXtcrity with which these
complicated problems are cleared up.
