A THR!LLINGLY EXCITING STORY OF LOVE AND -—ADVENTUREWITH PLOT AND COUNTERPLOT For smart, bright dialogue, exciting incident, strong and consistent plot, it would be hard to 11 ml a novel excelling "The Kidnapped Prince.” The authors do not produce their work with any regard to quantity, aiming rat her at excellence and finish, the result being a narrative which does not contain a word too many, or a word too few. The characters are thoroughly natural ami life-like, whilst the incidents of the tale, startling and sensational as they are, appeal to the reader as being eminently probable. This impression of reality is the finishing touch to a strong and brilliant lj- executed concept ion.
