“Through the exotic atmosphere of many of these stories stand out sudden pictures of rare perfection. This power of calling up associations to supplement concrete images is indeed his perilous virtue, and entices him sometimes into tortuous bypaths. Yet his perfect etching of New York at night in ‘A city of wonder’ proves that he can look at the world with the disinterested and objective gaze of the pure artist.”

DURKIN, DOUGLAS. Heart of Cherry McBain. *$1.75 (2c) Harper
Because he had once struck his brother with murder in his heart, King Howden had determined never to fight again, and because of that resolution he was held to be something of a coward in the frontier country where he lived a rather solitary life. And then one day he met Cherry McBain, a girl worth fighting for. She was the daughter of old Keith McBain, the construction boss of a new railway. And she had an enemy in the person of Big Bill McCartney, her father’s foreman, who was determined to win her by fair means or foul and regardless of her wishes in the matter. The situation certainly offered grounds for the fight that eventually came, leaving King with his reputation vindicated, and Cherry free to bestow her heart where she chose.
