Let us glance at the lady who accepted his white-gloved hand, and who sprang alertly onto the platform beside him.

She was a woman bordering on the forties, with a face of masculine vigor, redeemed and effeminized, by splendid hazel eyes, the kindliest imaginable. Obviously, the lady was one who had never married, who despised, or affected to despise, members of the other sex, but who had never learned to hate them; who had never grown soured, but who found the world a garden of heedless children—of children who called for mothering. Her athletic figure was clothed in a "sensible" tweed traveling dress, and she wore a tweed hat pressed well on to her head, and brown boots with the flattest heels conceivable. Add to this a Scotch woolen muffler, and a pair of woolen gloves, and you have a mental picture of the second traveler—a truly incongruous companion for the first.

Joining the crowd pouring in the direction of the exit gates, the two chatted together animatedly, both speaking English, and the man employing that language with a perfect ease and command of words which nevertheless failed to disguise his French nationality. He spoke with an American accent; a phenomenon sometimes observable in one who has learned his English in Paris.

The irritating formalities which beset the returning traveler—and the lady distinctly was of the readily irritated type—were smoothed away by the magic personality of her companion. Porters came at the beck of his gloved hand; guards, catching his eye, saluted and were completely his servants; ticket inspectors yielded to him the deference ordinarily reserved for directors of the line.

Outside the station, then, her luggage having been stacked upon a cab, the lady parted from her companion with assurances, which were returned, that she should hope to improve the acquaintance.

Nice early Pulp era Yellow Peril story. A good mystery plot. Recommended

Yet another mysterious, suspenseful and complex tale from one of my favorite authors. Remember, this is the writer who invented Dr. Fu Manchu. He was able to create such fabulous descriptions of the area in which the tale takes place that the stories remain, to me, unforgettable. Very entertaining!

It's1915 and mystery writer Henry Leroux receives quite a shock. An unaccompanied woman he does not know demands entry into his apartments. Then she dies. Then the shock comes, as he finds that she is not wearing stockings! He nearly swoons at the sight of her bare ankle. The only clue to her death

A typical Edwardian melodrama in which Gaston Max and Inspector Dunbar go underground to the opium dens of London to discover the secrets of Ho-Pin, he of the yellow claw, and how he is affecting the London hob nobs and how he inveigles them and others into his net.

In a very Gothic setting at times,
