THE MYSTERY STORIES OF
J. S. FLETCHER

" Mr. Fletcher is a master of plot, and he never goes beyond the bounds of reason in its procedure development. He. moreover, can write the English language as a vital means to the end both of narrative and description, and he never fails to show that he is its master. It is therefore a pleasure to read his stories, not merely for their entertaining qualities, but also for the agreeable appeal of their manner and their style."
