MYSTERY TALE.
"The End of Illusion," by Homer W. Smith (Cassell) is a mystery story with the scene laid in the jungles and'mountains of Malaya. A young unmarried Englishman—Ceylon Kerlow—has had a fortune left him by an uncle, and arrives at an out of the way place in Malaya with the intention of seeing something of the country. He makes the acquaintance of a young American doctor, who is worried because of the tragic death of air engineer, and tells Kerlow of his suspicions. Kerlow, his curiosity aroused, quietly makes an investigation. In working out his tale, Mr. Smith succeeds in keeping lis in suspense as to the death until the close, when the denouement turns out altogether different from what had seemed to be inevitable. It is a fascinating and informative story, and is written with literary distinction.
