Book excerpt: Weir lambert, a young man fresh from college, had acquired the proprietorship of the Kent County Witness, a small country newspaper that had almost ceased to circulate. Weir was proprietor, editor, compositor and printer, and yet had plenty of time to worry. Nothing ever happened in Kentville; that, to an ambitious newspaper man, was a tragedy. And when at last something did happen, that, too, was a tragedy—a murder mystery that would have got front-page position in any city newspaper. But Weir didn’t print it because back of his mind was a picture of a beautiful girl and a new made grave, and Weir had promised to help. Hulbert Footner makes a grand job of a dramatic situation and keeps his plot boiling with excitement to the end.
