QUEEN OF THE BURGLARS.

By Sophie Lyons

The Uncrowned Queen of Crime

In this epoch making book in which truth makes the wildest imaginings of the wizards of fiction dull and commonplace, Sophie Lyons, known to the police of two continents as the shrewdest, cleverest, brainiest, and most daring and resourceful criminal of the age, tears aside the veil and reveals the most desperate characters of the underworld, the millionaire aristocrats of crime, as they plot, plan and later execute their dark and incredible deeds. With breathless interest we watch these masked midnight marauders as the mighty steel vaults of the greatest financial institutions swing wide at their bidding, yielding their boundless treasures to the crafty cracksman and scientific burglar, the magic manipulators of gun, dynamite and jimmy.

Through the Whole Gamut of Crime,Stupendous and Blood Curdling.

By FRED. M. WHITE,

is certainly a hummer.

Mr. White stands in the forefront of the mystery and detective story writers of the English speaking world to-day, and this is one of his best and latest books.

Do you like surprises that make your eyes open wide? Sustained excitement and strange scenes that compel you to read on page after page with unflagging interest? Something that lifts you out of your world of care and business, and transports you to another land, clime, and scenes? Then don’t fail to read

The Mystery of the Ravenspurs.

The Mystery of the Ravenspurs.

The Mystery of the Ravenspurs.

It is a romantic tale of adventure, mystery and amateur detective work, with scenes laid in England, India, and the distant and comparatively unknown Thibet. A band of mystics from the latter country are the prime movers in the various conspiracies, and their new, unique, weird, strange methods form one of the features of the story.

Read of the clever detective work by blind Ralph, which borders upon the supernatural; of walking the black Valley of Death in Thibet, with its attendant horrors; of the Princess Zara, and her power, intrigue and treachery laid bare; of the poisonous bees and the deadly perfume flowers. Unflagging interest holds your spell-bound attention from cover to cover.

If you have read any of the detective stories which we have recommended to you, such asThe World’s Finger,Macon Moore, Etc., you know that our statements in regard to their being “the real thing” were not overdrawn. We now have another one just as good, which we unhesitatingly recommend. It is entitled

THE HOUSEBY THE RIVER.BYFLORENCE WARDEN.WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY OF IT.

THE HOUSEBY THE RIVER.BYFLORENCE WARDEN.WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY OF IT.

THE HOUSE

BY THE RIVER.

BY

FLORENCE WARDEN.

WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY OF IT.

“Florence Warden is the Anna Katharine Greene of England. She apparently has the same marvelous capacity as Mrs. Rohlfs for concocting the most complicated plots and most mystifying mysteries, and serving them up hot to her readers.”—N. Y. Globe.

“The author has a knack of intricate plot-work which will keep an intelligent reader atherbooks, when he would become tired over far better novels not so strongly peppered. For even the ‘wisest men’ now and then relish not only a little nonsense, but as well do they enjoy a thrilling story of mystery. And this is one—a dark, deep, awesome, compelling if not convincing tale.”—Sacramento Bee.

“The interest of the story is deep and intense, and many guesses might be made of the outcome, as one reads along, without hitting on the right one.”—Salt Lake Tribune.

MACON MOORE,... THE ...SOUTHERN DETECTIVE.

MACON MOORE,

... THE ...

SOUTHERN DETECTIVE.

Here is another rattling good book that we unhesitatingly recommend to every one who enjoys a thrilling detective story. Each chapter contains a startling episode in the attempt ofMacon Mooreto run to earth a gang of moonshiners in Southern Georgia, whose business was that of manufacturing illicit whisky.

His capture by the “Night Riders,” and his daring escape from them at their meeting in the Valley of Death, forms one of the many exciting incidents of the story.

One of our readers writes to us as follows:

“I was absolutely unable to stop reading “Macon Moore” until I had finished it. I expected to read for an hour or so, but the situations were so dramatic and exciting at the end of each chapter, that before I knew it I had started the next one. I have read it three times, once while practicing exercises on the piano, and shall read it again. It is a corker.”

The ConfessionsOf a Princess

The ConfessionsOf a Princess

The ConfessionsOf a Princess

The Confessions

Of a Princess

A book of this sort would necessarily be anonymous, and the name of the author is not essential as indicative of literary ability, the strength of the story depending upon its action as revealed through the laying bare of the innermost secrets of a “Princess of the Realm” whose disposition and character were such as to compel her to find elsewhere than in her own home the love, tenderness, admiration, and society which was lacking there, and which her being craved. Position, money and power, seem to those who do not possess them, to bring happiness. Such is not the case, however, where stability of character is lacking and where one depends upon the pleasures of sense for the enjoyment of life rather than on the accomplishment of things worth while, based on high ideals.

The writer has taken a page from her life and has given it to the world. She has laid bare the soul of a woman, that some other woman (or some man) might profit thereby. The names have been changed, and such events omitted as might lead too readily to the discovery of their identity. Each the victim of circumstance, yet thepriceis demanded of the one who fell the victim of environment.

The Confessions of a Princessis the story of a woman who saw, conquered and fell.

The book contains 270 pages, printed from new, large type on good paper, bound in paper cover with attractive design in colors. For sale by newsdealers everywhere, or sent by mail, postpaid, upon receipt of 25 cents. Bound in cloth, price, 75 cents.

HAVE YOU EVER

HEARD OF ACOMIC COOK BOOK?

HEARD OF ACOMIC COOK BOOK?

HEARD OF A

COMIC COOK BOOK?

We publish a book under that title, and it contains more good laughs to the square inch than any book in the market. Notice a few of the recipes:

Table Manners.—In carving, should the bird slip from under your knife, do not appear covered with confusion, although you may be with gravy, but simply say to the lady in whose lap the bird has landed: “I’ll trouble you for that hen,” or words to that effect, and proceed with the autopsy.

To Boil Fish.—Place the bird in a kettle of cold water and let it boil so gently that the water will remain about as warm as a June day. By so doing the fish can swim about in the kettle, and come to the table, along with the other guests, in a not overheated condition. It will require about eight minutes to cook a fish weighing one pound, and of course, only four minutes to cook one weighing twice as much.

To Fry Fish.—Remove the works from the interior department, pick off the scales, remove the teeth, and fry in a frying pan—or anything else which fancy dictates.

Chicken Croquettes.—Having stunned a heavy set hen, croquet the dark meat through three wickets. Loose croquet the bust and other blonde meat until you are a rover. Chop it all up and add something to make it stick together, mould it into sausages, roll in bass-wood sawdust (the croquettes, not yourself). Fry in red-hot lard.

Calves-Foot Jelly.—Get a yard of the material, i. e., three feet. Chicago beef is best, as the calves have the largest feet. Cut off the calf for future reference. Wash the feet, applying chilblain remedies when necessary, boil them for a while or so, add enough glue to thicken; stir in a few molasses, strain through a cane-seated chair. Pour the amalgamation into a blue bowl with red pictures on it, and send the whole business to a sick friend.

Angel Cake.—Chop up green apples, raisins, bananas, in quantities to suit; stick them in dough. Feed to the children and the angel part will materialize.

Roman Punch.—Only a Roman nose how to prepare this dish properly. To prepare it the other way add some rum to your punch. This should be served before the roasts at dinner, but should be eaten frugally, as it was a Roman punch that killed Cæsar.

Emergencies.—Should a child swallow a button, lower a button-hole down its throat with a piece of string, pass it over the button and yank it out.——If you see a runaway horse approaching and are unable to get out of his way, speak to him firmly, saying, “Lie down, sir!”

To Tell A Bad Egg.—This depends entirely on what you wish to tell the egg. If it be bad news, break it gently—this applies both to the communication and the fruit. The former had better be made by telephone, with the safety plug in position.

To Break a Colt.—Hit him across the back with a sledge hammer. One blow should be sufficient to break him—or at least break his back.

To Make Ice-Water Last.—Prepare everything else first.
