Paston, George, pseud. See Symonds, E. M.
Pattee, Fred Lewis. House of the black ring. $1.50. Holt.
A story centred around a mysterious log cabin in a valley among the Seven mountains. The valley is owned by a tyrant squire and farmed by sturdy Pennsylvania Dutchmen. The squire’s daughter, the first to thwart her father’s will, falls in love with the son of a new-comer to the valley, whose business enterprise threatens the squire’s undisputed sway. There is hard feeling, and there is murder, but all is made clear by the discovery of a cave under the cabin, and in the happiness of the squire’s daughter the traditional curse of “the house of the black ring” is lifted.

“It is not from the literary side an artistic book, but it at least may be described as both readable and amusing.”
