By NORAH DAVIS

"Miss Davis has evolved a plot of unusual ingenuity and dotted it with

situations that are striking and unexpected."

_The Times, New York._

"The novel is written with a clear understanding of the people where the

scenes are laid, and the descriptive passages show equal knowledge of

the country and its outward aspects. It is realistic, but never dull,

for it has a keenness and brightness of text that is constantly

enticing."

_Boston Budget._

"Miss Davis deserves to be watched. She has power, style, convincing

earnestness, and, more than all, the trick of creating atmosphere."

_New Orleans Picayune._

"'The World's Warrant' is certainly the most unique, interesting, and

original love story of the season. The story is bold in execution, and

really exceptional in strength and power. It would be impossible not to

read it with keen interest."

_St. Paul Pioneer Press._
