collection of stories marked by such originality and fascinating force
as those contained in this issue of THE BLACK CAT. As the
edition is limited, those desiring copies should not fail to place
orders with their newsdealers in advance of publication.
The Great Star Ruby. By Barnes MacGreggor.
In this highly dramatic story the action, which centers around a
fifty-thousand-pound ruby, moves swiftly and stirringly from Australia
to India, thence to the Continent, and then back to Australia.
The Interrupted Banquet. By René Bache.
The startling experience of a man who, without warning, found himself
and sweetheart the guests at a phantom dinner party.
The Archangel. By James Q. Hyatt.
A clever account of the strange incidents resulting from the
introduction of a matrimonial journal into a bachelor mining camp,
during Gold Time.
Asleep at Lone Mountain. By M. D. Umbetsetter.
A graphic tale of overland travel, abounding in pathetic and absorbing
incident.
Kootchie. By Harold Kinsabby.
A Boston butler, an aristocratic pug known as Buttons, and a
missionary cat, are the chief characters in this brief comedy of real
life.
Frazer's Find. By Roberta Littlehale.
No more powerful and humanly interesting story of the California
pioneer days has appeared than this tale of one man's struggles for
the gold and the love that came too late. The story gains rather than
loses by the womanly delicacy of touch that is united to the vigor of
its theme.
THE BLACK CAT is issued monthly at five cents a copy. It is
sold only by newsdealers. If yours hasn't it, and won't get it for you,
get another newsdealer.
