should 60 to California.
The trip is made in an auto

car is wrecked and finally to add
to all their troubles, the husband
is refused admittance to the State.
The wife goes to a friend Of
hers and tries to borrow money,
He insults her. After that the
friend gets the husband into the
State and the story moves a little
faster toward a merry end, which
is the most shocking thing in the
book.

placed Dex Ward in a den of
Smugglers. Dex went there in the
first place without knowing what
he was getting into. At one time
he had been a man of means. He
was young and possessed of a set
of muscles trained by an athletic
life seldom seen in the circles he
came from. He was taken into the
smuggler's life by an old friend,
TeverSon, who hired him as a
bodyguard.
What Teverson really wanted
was somebody with brains as
well as Drawn to help him with
his battle against the Eel. Dex
was ideal. Dex was the man.
So TeverSon took him to meet
Stephania Gorda, who was trying
to ship guns to her father, an
exiled dictator.
Not long afterward the Eel
scareS Teverson so badly he quits,
but not DeX. He takes the fight
up. The book carries a punch
IN every page. 1t is something
unusual in the thriller class and

Drums Along
the Mohawk

Walter E. Edmonds, author of
Rome Haul and other home
spun novels of our country'S s
earliest beginnings, strikes stride
for historical novel writer's in
Drums Along the Mohawk"
which has won it's place on the
best-seller list.
It's an historical novel with not
enough history to interfere with
the lives of its character and yet
it carries a background of the
American Revolution which will
aStonish several who thought
they knew all about how that
war was fought and where it was
won.
Mr.. Edmonds takes you into
the Indian country along the
Mohawk valley. Into the homes
and the hearts of the people who
worked hard; built their little
cabins, stocked their small farms;
erected stockades for protection
and kept a patriotic light burn

Sheldon is a pure and simple
English vicar and Sheldon'S way
is the way of the righteous, but
Sheldon's story is artfully over
shadowed by derelict poet named
Adrian Willis, who not only steals
Sheldon's prospective wife, but
pretty nearly all of Sheldon's
thunder.
It's really too bad. Sheldon
makes a far better parish priest
than Willis makes a poet. But
Willis tells the story and monopo-
Lies the spotlight.
Sheldon feeds him and lines his
pocket and puts roof over his
head and Willis eats his food and
spends his money and sprouts a
lot of good intentions that never
quite come to blossom-unleSs you
want to count this book which Will
lis is supposed to have written
and we don't think you do.
The real author is Wynyard
Browne, former London journalist
and assistant editor of the London
Mercury. He has an easy in
gratiating style and if you want
a mild-mannered ironical story
you may add "Sheldon's Way to
your lighter reading list.

Enough. Enough. JuSC IN case
you liked that guy you have a
triple thrill in store for you when
you read THE Lady in the
Morgue." Jonathan Latimer, who
wrote it, has three private de-
tectives in this yarn. They all
drink, they all fool the police.
They go around smacking gang
sters, flirting with the pretty
girls and just raising hop all the
time.
Strange to say that underneath
all the big time frolicking there
is a story that will make you read
and read.
Bill Crane, the brains of the
three detectives. and incidentally
the greatest trouble-maker, wakes
up in the Chicago morgue. He
just happened to be there trying
to find out the identity of a beau
tiful girl who has been brought
in a suicide. 1t seems that Bill
gets right attached to that
morgue. He is always coming
back to it and a couple of times
it seemed that he was going to
come back in hearSe. Anyway,
while Bill is trying to find out
who the girl is the body diSap-
pears.
How Bill happened to be on the
spot, himself, is what worries the
police. Now, just because the
cops are little huffed wouldn't
cause a crease in his forehead. But,
Bill soon learns that a gangster
and a big-time gambler also think
that Bill was in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
Before he gets through with this
case he's been smacked, slapped,
insulted and threatened by almost
