Do you like a thrilling tale? If so, read this one and we almost
guarantee that you will not stir from your chair until you turn the last
page. As the clock struck midnight on one of the most fashionable streets
of London in the Duchess of Ditchling's handsome limousine, Arthur
Towzer, millionaire mining magnate, is found dead at the wheel, horribly
mangled. Yes, this is a tale during the reading of which you will leave
your chair only to turn up the gas. When you are not shuddering, you are
thinking; your wits are balanced against the mind and system of the
famous Scotland Yard, the London detective headquarters. The men or women
who can solve the mystery without reading the last few pages will deserve
a reward,--they should apply for a position upon the Pinkerton force.
