OTHER NOVELS.—The Two Strange Men. By J. Storer Clouston. (Nash

and Grayson. 7s. 6d. net.)—An adventure story of flight and pursuit, the pursuers being avenging Irishmen whose relatives the pursued have hanged. This story is full of excitement and bloodshed. The Third Round. By " Sapper " (H. C. McNeile). (Hodder and Stoughton. 7s. 6d. net.)—In this melodrama Bull-Dog Drummond again joins issue with Carl Petersen, masquerading under the pseudonym of Mr. Edward Blackton. The reader can reckon on his due quota of thrills, but the sudden idiocy of the hero in the last chapter can only be explained by the necessity for a further volume in which these accomplished protagonists will again join issue.
