It. takes the reader deep into the
lives and inner thoughts Of q gen
GRAFTON that was reaching its ma
turity in the years changed from
the reStlessnesS of the 20's to the
realization Of the sos.
The characters are human and
well known to millions who fol
lowed the trend of the times in a
search for q freedom that they
talked glibly about and sometimes
took long chances to secure with
out fathoming the toll or the pay

Karl reaches for his freedom by
leaving his wife and two children,
his job, and the traditional place
cut out for him in Albany by his
family relationship to strive for
success In his painting In New

It is the problem novel with new

For he is Bulldog Drummond
and now he is back again. This
time In q volume entitled "Chal-
lenge." And starting out in the
Golden Boot, a night place in the
town called London, this stalwart
son of the British Isles becomes
enmeshed in another startling
story Of unequaled adventures be-
fore most have had an opportun-
ity to finish tea or tiffin or what
ever it is the English are supposed
to be fond Of in contrast with the
helterskelter life Of this singular
and extraordinary foe Of the un-

Murder follows murder swiftly
and surely in this new tale, so
that the macabre sealed tins" and
the dew Of death all fit into the
gruesome picture just as it can
be imagined they would when
Mr.. Bulldog Drummond sets his
theoretical teeth into a mystery
that usually befogs Scotland Yard
and sends the local constabulary
running around in circles.
This time Mr.. Drummond is
even lured to the Riviera, to
Cannes, to Switzerland, and all
the way back to England, before
he pops open the case and makes
the works ticktock to his and
the readers delight.
But then, after all. it usually
suffices to say to the Bulldogs
fans that there he is right from
page j to page S04 and Is good as
ever, If not better.

or style or content. but in the
fact that the heroine Of Time
At Her Heels" had too much in
her life while the heroine Of "Call

Nevertheless, both books were
written about everyday people and

liked one will be practically GER

Sims, who attracted considerable
attention with Morning Star"
and 1.-THE World With a Fence"
This time she writes about q
woman who has just divorced her
husband. She is well enough off
to make ends meet without him
but she has q badly shattered
world to rebuild and no pennies to
spare and her story makes an en-
gaging recital.
The idea behind it all seems to
be that you can call it freedom
II you want to but 1t has a diff.
ferent aspect once you get it. That
was Martha HarVey'S experience.
She went on living In the same

lens to solve except that her life
was narrower and loneler. Ger
tainly not larger.
In the final analysis she learns
that spiritual freedom and self.
sufficiency are something like q
state of mind. You have to work
pretty hard to attain them. And
pretty hard to keep them.
If the book has a fault it Is
that the author likes her heroine
just a shade too much and is in.
clined to put her in too heroic o
light.
Lots of women have drunken
husbands and stick to them and
lots of others manage to raise
children too without three very
sympathetic men in the offing
to cheer their efforts. Neverthe.
less a book sans romance makes
very dry reading. And this one is
far from dry.

ical scene so dear to the heart OF
many family who have a home,
want a home. live in apartments
and want to live in the country,
live in the country and want
something better and so on down

Holden Satterfield and his wife,

Spine TngHng
Mystery

Readers who seek their mystery
touched with the supernatural
and yet shy away from a theme
which contains too much Of ar.
rant nonsense to make them
plausible will find in THE Border
line" an interesting story.
Walter S. Masterman, author Of
''The Baddington Horror" weaves
into the background of this almost
foolproof thriller a blending Of
everyday murder sequences and
eerieness that is spine-tingling.
To the ancestral and gloomy
citadel of "Cold Stairs" comes a
group of ghost catchers and a
young radio engineer to put on
the broadcast of the unnatural
phenomenon that has been arouS-
ing the surrounding countryside.
Sir John Hartman, his niece, a
governess and her crippled son
occupy the old country estate in
which the three investigators and
the radio expert come for their
experiment.
The ghost performs and in the
midst Of it all Sir John is stran-
gled to death. Hardly had the
hunt for Sir Johns murderer got
ten under way than local con-
stable is also murdered in a like
manner. Dick Selden, college
trained member of Scotland Yard.
is on the case.
It is not long before the super
natural aspect of the case gets the
goat of Selden's chief and about
everyone connected with the case
and Selden is allowed to take a
months leave right after Mrs.
Seaton, a member of the original
investigating committee, is also
strangled.
Selden puts his leave unofficially
aside and continues on the solu-
ton of the crimes which seem
about to end his career. It has
a plausible ending and wholly IN
expected; brought out in a fine
climatic manner.
