The stories included are: "The Red Cross Girl," "The Grand Cross Of The Crescent," "The Invasion of England," "Blood Will Tell," "The Sailorman," "The Mind Reader," "The Naked Man," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," and "The Card-Sharp." * * * * "Vera the Medium" - The romance of Vera the Medium, a young woman who "speaks" to the spirits of the dead. Trapped in a profession of lies by something she did years before, Vera meets the District Attorney, Winthrop, who offers her hope of a way out. But will her compatriots and clients let her go? Full of tragedy and humor, a thrilling love story as only Richard Harding Davis can tell. The heroine is a kind new to fiction and the story is told with the vigor and skill. * * * * This volume includes the complete text of all the stories, published in 1912, and 1919 editions.
