“The information which he gives is to a certain extent limited by his absorption in his own studies.... He is however fully conversant with the work of his predecessors, and he does not fail to provide an excellent general survey of the ground they have covered. The excellent photographs of the Sassanid rock-cut monuments reproduced in this book will be of great value to archaeologists.”

Jackson, Charles Ross. Sheriff of Wasco. †$1.50. Dillingham.
7–16754.
Wasco County, Oregon, terrorized by an outlaw of numberless crimes and unheard of cruelty elects a young railroad man its sheriff. The story follows the trail of the outlaw with the determined young officer until he brings down his inhuman prey and wins the love of a millionaire’s daughter whom he has rescued from the bandit’s clutches. It is a wild tale in which brute passions are described with a strength and vividness that does not admit of delicacy.
