The Loring Mystery

Jasper Shrig is a sort of a nineteenth century Sherlock Holmes. Thrilling events follow each other with the starling rapidity of machine gun fire on a still night. The hero's villainous Uncle is found with a dagger run through his throat. Shrig is almost strangled to death in a subterranean passage. A ghost walks. Young David, the hero, knocks out several Goliaths with his American trained fists, and beautiful girls are often in peril of their virtue.
