Permit me to give the solution of the mystery to TIME: A railroad telegraph operator, retired on account of failing eyesight, owned a couple of collies. His home is near the two great westbound main lines of the B & O and Big Four (beyond these tracks flows the Ohio River). One day a train killed one of his dogs. He knew of the accident, and instead of burying his pet, left that job to the section-crew. But somebody took the lifeless body, strung it up and built the fire as described to me by the policeman who discovered...
...Champion Neville Chamberlain. Next April or sooner, Chancellor Chamberlain will bring in an ironclad British Tariff Act, sure to pass. But emergency tariff measures are in the hands of Britain's obscurest cabinet ministry, the Board of Trade.

That is American, Trist's hurry to tell the news, old news that is new in a young land...

Throughout the book there are footnotes which, when looked up in the back, refer to ancient authors and authorities for his statements. As references they are completely impossible because of the vague character of most of them. For example, one reference says, "of, Zenophon, Aristophanes, Thueydides, Demosthenes, etc." This would seem to be an attempt to make a novel look like a really critical and scholarly piece of work, which it certainly is not. Furthermore, the text...
