est. The many characters are drawn in natural
colors.--[_Brooklyn Citizen._

Mr. DeLeon has written several novels which had a run; but this one
surpasses any in cleverness of plot, thrilling situations and general
interest.--[_Salt Lake Herald._

Brightness of dialogue and richness of incident. The suicide of the
gambler is a startling effect; worthy of the imagination and
descriptive power of Zola!--[_Mobile Register._

The same authority pronounces "the leading man of the Grand Duke's

Mr. DeLeon's "Creole and Puritan" proved most conclusively that he
could write well; and his satire on the "Quick or the Dead" was laughed
over by the whole country. The story of "Juny" shows the creative power
