...skill with which every twist of the story is made to add a little more to the general excitement; one is not so entirely absorbed in following the action, one has leisure to ravel in the luxurious loveliness of Miss Owen, delightful mendacity of Frang Lalor, and the grotesque terror of Grant Mitchell. And repetition seems to rob the situations of none of their humor...

Some while back, there appeared in Charles D. Gibson's Life a two-page cartoon which struck terror into the heart of the observer. It depicted a hideous reptile crawling across the map of the U. S. Its tail was securely planted in San Francisco. Part of its belly burdened New York. One lugubrious paw had Chicago in its clutch, another Los Angeles.
