DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Lure of the Flame I had just begun a new story for one of our prominent newspapers, when a well-known doctor was announced. When I say that he is well known I do not mean that he is an idol of Mayfair or a much sought-after consultant, though I have no doubt that he could have been either, for he has brains, appearance and sufficient means of his own. But for some reason or other he has elected to devote himself entirely to those who require the services of the Healer, in its twofold sense - the Outcasts of Society, the gutter dwellers of this vast City. "I know you're keen on the White Slave Traffic," he began. "I was," I corrected. "But now the Bill is passed my keenness has lost its point. Even the papers have dropped the subject which they no doubt consider stale." "Mark Danger," he reproved, shaking his fine head, "with your name and your intelligence I expected better things of you! Both the papers and the public are wrong. They go hammer and tongs at a thing, encourage the grossest exaggeration regarding it and work it to death until one step towards their goal is made, like the passing of this Bill - and then they drop it like a useless bauble. In other words, they forsake the fight. Having gained one Victory they think the battle won. But is it? Those they have been denouncing know quite well that it is not. That, if they lie low for a time, their chance will come again. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"What does it matter that I set myself apart from other people? For most I shall be an enigina, but for a few I shall be a poet...," he wrote.".

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Lure of the Antique The presence of these Old relics of bygone days, reminders of the intimate home life of our fore fathers, creates for most of us a sort of atmosphere that can be more easily recognized than described. It is easier for us to picture the pouring of candles into their molds than the gathering of the minute men at Concord. The crackling of the back-log on the old fire-dogs is clearer in our ears than the ring ing words of Samuel Adams. And to associate, day by day, with the household belongings of a past generation is a heart-warming and a heart-softening thing. Their influence is subtle, but it makes for joy and a chastened pride. It is good for us to set up our tabernacle among them. Malign us as you will, we are a home-loving people, and the things of the home we understand. Our patriotism centers itself about our homes, and our reverence for the past around the hearthstones of our forebears. Also we are for the most part descended from Europeans, and there is born within us a respect for antiquity. We have no Rhenish castles here; no Roman roads undulate over our hilltops. The oldest we have is just coming of age, but we are glad of that, and do our homage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There is always fresh linen and claret-cup to help out, and I never go anywhere until after seven, except to the cricket grounds or the club for tea. Anything I want Len gets - he even goes to the bank for me, and I think that teller down there would give Len every cent of my balance if the old weasel asked for it. I tell you, Jack, you Occidentals don't know how to live, else you wouldn't urge my throwing up all this for that damned old German town - and more money.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Riddle of the Frozen Flame Mr. Maverick Narkom, Superintendent of Scotland Yard, sat before the litter of papers upon his desk. His brow was puckered, his fat face red with anxiety, and there was about him the air of one who has reached the end of his tether. He faced the man opposite, and fairly ground his teeth upon his lower lip. "Dash it, Cleek!" he said for the thirty-third time, "I don't know what to make of it, I don't, indeed! The thing's at a deadlock. Hammond re ports to me this morning that another bank in Hendon - a little one-horse affair - has been broken into. That makes the third this week, and as usual every piece of gold is gone. Not a bank note touched, not a bond even fingered. And the thief - or theives - made as clean a get-away as you ever laid your eyes on! I tell you, man, it's enough to send all average person daft!
