THE BANKER AND THE BEAR

THE SHORT LINE WAR. BY H. K. WEBSTER AND SAMUEL MERWIN. It is only one novel in twenty that is engrossing enough to insist upon a reading, making the mood for its own enjoyment. It is hardly one in twenty which is successful in interpreting to the people of one class or occupation the struggles and sympathies of those without their social or business circles. That “The Short Line War” should do both, makes it very exceptional indeed.—Chicago Evening Post. It is one of those tales of vigorous character and action which touch a responsive chord in nearly every class of readers. The story is finely written.—Toledo Blade. 16mo. Cloth. $1.50.
