The Glacier Gate: An Adventure Story
by Frank Lillie PollockThe humor of the thing suddenly quenched his wrath. He had been half kidnaped, but he had turned the joke on his captors. Let them take what they had got, he thought.

The Council of Seven
by J. C. SnaithHE Helicon Club was at the end of the street. Women interested in literature, the arts, in social and public affairs could lunch, dine, entertain their friends in this oasis.

Cutie: A Warm Mamma
by Ben HechtIN 1924 “Cutie” appeared in different issues of the Chicago Literary Times which Ben Hecht and I edited.

Is it about a real little boy and girl?” and when I am obliged to answer, “No, I do not think it is,” their countenances fall, and they seem as if h..

This, and its companion, Cousin Lucy at Study, are now offered to..
