by James Hay
Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap 1919
ISBN/ASIN: 8189952358
Description:

He was reading an account of a murder committed in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and the shrieks he had just heard fitted in so well with the paragraph then before his eyes that his imagination might have been playing him tricks.
