WHERE NO MAN PURSUETH. By David Sharp. (Bean. 7s. 6d.)—Mr.

Sharp has written a good solid adventuri story which turns out in the end to be a detective novel bulls by no means of the usual type. We are given the hero's adven- tures, his abduction, attempted internment as a lunatic, the rescue by a young journalist, and gradual unravelling of the motive, and, finally, the discovery of the perpetrator, in a light, pleasing style which takes none of these troubles too seriously. The personality of the Professor is attractive—he writes in the first person.
