Merington, Marguerite. [Scarlett of the mounted.] †$1.25. Moffat.
“The reader will be interested in this northern mining district which ‘contains an unsurveyed number of square miles and crooked inhabitants,’ according to ‘Scarlett of the mounted,’ who has come with the law behind him to establish some kind of order. The heroine of the story is the daughter of an old miner, a supercilious young lady decidedly bettered by her sojourn at the mines. And the plot is brought to a happy ending after various ingenious complications.”—Outlook.
“It would be misleading to say that the story is one for mature minds, for the plot is extremely harmless.”

“Miss Merington’s skit fails to convince. Still, it is written light-heartedly, and that is something.”
