BY ARTHUR TRAIN

McALLISTER AND HIS DOUBLE

Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50

"Since Richard Harding Davis wrote about Van Bibber there have been no short stories with a Manhattan background more entertaining than those in Arthur Train's 'McAllister and His Double.' They have a very superior urban quality and show a freshness of invention and delicacy of handling that are quite unusual in stories of the town."—N.Y. Globe.

"Aside from the entertainment afforded by the fun and nonsense of the stories, there is here and there a deep note struck that makes them worth considering seriously, a note of sympathy for the under dog, of pity and understanding for the poor wretches who are down, that gives the tales a strong human appeal."

—Philadelphia Telegraph.

"A spirited series of entertaining narratives of a somewhat original detective type."—Boston Transcript.

"Mr. Train knows how to tell a good story, and understands the art of springing his climax at the psychological moment."—Nashville American.

"The McAllister stories are entertaining from start to finish."—The Independent.

"Written with a combined snap and humor that make them a very safe investment as a source of entertainment."—Life.
