By Louis Moresby, New York: George H. Doran Co. - ’rHE digging up of Egyptian kings, with {ts sequence of reconstruct- Ing ancient civilization. has as a ma ter of course gone to the head of the highly imaginative writer whose flair is that of adventure. Authors, like every other sort of producer, are kept on the jump these competitive davs for the latest novelty of theme and treatment apnlied to the manufacture of fiction. Here is a case in point. Here is an incredible tale of a buried kingdom, rich in gold and arts and mysterious rites, Iving hidden beneath the desert that stretches from western China across northern Asia behind the IMimalayas. A fantastic to-do that partakes of dream and pightmare and pure magic, turn and tirn about. Two vouthful adventurers project the busi. nes« of seeking out this kingdom from allogether casual and seemingly un- reliable hints of its existence.
