A GOOD DETECTIVE STORYTHEFILIGREE BALLBy ANNA KATHERINE GREENAuthor of "The Leavenworth Case"This is something more than a mere detective story; it is a thrilling romance—a romance of mystery and crime where a shrewd detective helps to solve the mystery. The plot is a novel and intricate one, carefully worked out. There are constant accessions to the main mystery, so that the reader can not possibly imagine the conclusion. The story is clean-cut and wholesome, with a quality that might be called manly. The characters are depicted so as to make a living impression. Cora Tuttle is a fine creation, and the flash of love which she gives the hero is wonderfully well done. Unlike many mystery stories The Filigree Ball is not disappointing at the end. The characters most liked but longest suspected are proved not only guiltless, but above suspicion. It is a story to be read with a rush and at a sitting, for no one can put it down until the mystery is solved.Illustrated by C. M.

A VIVID WESTERN STORY OF LOVEAND POLITICSTHE 13th DISTRICTBy BRAND WHITLOCKThis is a story of high order. By its scope and strength it deserves to be spoken of as a novel—and that word has been very much abused by hanging it to any old thing. It is a wonderfully good and interesting account of the workings of politics from before the primaries on through election, with a splendid love story also woven into it.One would think for instance, that it would be impossible to give an account of a "primary" and keep it interesting; it is natural to suppose a writer would become entangled with the dull routine of it all, but he does not, he makes it interesting. He shows the tricks, the heat, the passion, the tumult; the weariness and stubborness of a dead lock. The descriptions of society life in the book are equally good.12mo.
