HAPPY HAWKINS. By Robert Alexander Wason. Illustrated by Howard
Giles.
A ranch and cowboy novel. Happy Hawkins tells his own story with
such a fine capacity for knowing how to do it and with so much humor
that the reader's interest is held in surprise, then admiration and

COMRADES. By Thomas Dixon, Jr. Illustrated by C. D. Williams.
The locale of this story is in California, where a few socialists

important question.

without a dull page--Mr. Wells's most notable achievement.

A young criminologist, but recently arrived in New York city, is
drawn into a mystery, partly through financial need and partly
through his interest in a beautiful woman, who seems at times the
simplest child and again a perfect mistress of intrigue. A baffling
detective story.

There is a certain new force about the story, a kind of
master-craftsmanship and mental dominance that holds the reader.

the two Carolinas, but chiefly with
