LUCKY NUMBER by Ian Hay.
THE sheer Joy OF a volume from
the pen of Major Berth Is one of the

sad or funny, and those who prefer
them Just a human mixture. The pres
ent book is even more varied than

life that one would feel perfectly COM
Portable at having them all together
In one story."-Boston Transcript.
