Weir; THE NAMELESS MAN by Rodriguez Ottolengui; THE MONTEZUMA EMERALD by Rodriguez Ottolengui; FOUND GUILTY by Josiah Flynt and Francis Walton; THE SILVER THREAD by Jacques Futrelle; THE MAN HIGHER UP by William MacHarg and Edwin Balmer; THE AXTON LETTERS by William MacHarg and Edwin Balmer; THE MAN WHO SPOKE LATIN by Samuel Hopkins Adams; THE CLOUD-BURSTERS by Francis Lynde; THE AFFAIR OF LAMSON'S COOK by Charles Felton Pidgin and J. M. Taylor; THE CAMPAIGN GRAFTER by Arthur B. Reeve; THE INFALLIBLE GODAHL by Frederick Irving Anderson; and THE FRAME-UP by Richard Harding Davis.
