1THE BLUE BOOK
2MAGAZINE FOR FEBRUARY, 1914
4Next Month
6"THE Furnace of Gold" is one of the many items in the March BLUE BOOK to which we wish to call particular attention. This novella by Crittenden Marriott is one of the "rapid-fire" variety, and narrates a swift succession of exciting events which will hold you absorbed from beginning to end. A second installment of "For The Allinson Honor" finds its central figure proving that he is by no means "the family fool," and winning his way amid all sorts of difficulties in the desperate game he is playing, up in the Canadian wilds. "Innocence," that already much-discussed novel of New York's Bohemia, also comes to one of its most powerful episodes. There will also be some delightful and characteristic exploits of "The Diplomatic Free Lance;" "Blue-Funk Carson," the African pioneer; "Matt Bardeen, master diver;" "Magnum, the scientific consultant;" and other old BLUEBOOK acquaintances. In all, there will be a round score of short stories—and every one of these will be of the kind that have made the BLUE BOOK famous for its fiction. This March issue will be on sale at all news-stands February 1st.
