The London police have a baffling murder on their hands. An unidentified man has been bludgeoned to death in the Middle Temple Lane, but there is no weapon at the scene and practically nothing to go on. Frank Spargo, a young reporter covering the story, is almost ready to go home when he decides, almost on a whim, to follow the body to the morgue. One small clue has already surfaced-a gray cap which appears to have been newly purchased at a fashionable shop in the West End-and his intuition tells him something may turn up.

Specific acknowledgments are made in each volume for these contributions.

Magnetism is a fascinating subject-it affects everyday life so greatly that I thought those boys who are interested in Gilbert Toys would like to know more about it. So I have endeavored to compile information on magnetism in many of its forms that will be interesting for you to know.A thorough study of this book will, I am sure, give you a much better understanding of what magnetism means to all of us. The boy who knows about different kinds of engineering-electrical, chemical, structural, etc.-the kinds that are covered by Gilbert Toys, is the type of a boy who will be a leader among his fellows. He is the one to whom the rest of the boys look up, and they do it because they appreciate his knowledge of different things which they don't understand.You can be a leader among your friends, and you won't have to study and work hard to become one, either. You don't have to do that at all. You can get all kinds of interesting information about sciences and other things right while you are playing. This book is only one of many of its kind that I have had compiled. Used in conjunction with the Gilbert Toys they describe, they offer you the best kind of an opportunity to have all kinds of fun and at the same time put you up among the leaders.

That made it tough because Joe had two dependents-a punch-drunk pug named Kierney and the suave, aristocratic Englishman who called himself David Carton. Then there was May Sands, provocative and independent New York model. Joe didn't support her, but that wasn't because he didn't want to.So you can see why Joe South was a pushover for any sort of job, especially one dangling a fee of seven hundred bucks. What the lawyer Van Pelt told him to do sounded so easy, just keeping a rich young kid out of trouble!… However…Joe made two mistakes: thinking the job was easy and drinking a Mickey Finn. He woke up so involved in a murder that the question wasn't whether he was going to burn, but when.
