About this ebook

Twenty-four delightful short stories are collected in this volume. Mr. Barr is one of the most interesting and remarkable of American writers. "A pure humorist," A. Conan Doyle calls him. He is happily described by The London Atheneaum as a writer who deals with real men and women.

    Included here are short stories of Gambling joints,of Anarchists and of Duels. There are also a couple of quite touching love stories. However perhaps best of all is a Sherlaw Kombs tale called 'The Great Pegram Mystery',which is well worth the price of the book alone. The Kombs stories are said to be the earliest Sherlock Holmes parodies ever written.
