White, Frederick M. [Weight of the crown.] $1.50. Fenno.
A story in which plots and counter plots run their brisk course as Russia makes a tool of the dissipated crowned head of Asturia and tries to force an abdication. There are two sets of doubles in the story introduced on the one hand to facilitate, on the other hand to retard and complicate the movement towards the dramatic climax.

White, Stewart Edward. The Pass. *$1.25. Outing pub.
In which Mr. White tells the story of a journey across the high Sierras made by an explorer, his wife, his guide, their two dogs and four horses.
“It is the triumph of Mr. White’s enthusiasm and of his ability to put his facts and his impressions into the right words that what was encountered and what was seen on the trip is almost as plain on the printed page as it would have been to you or me had we taken the trip with him.” Churchill Williams.
