“No person well posted in current fiction lets a story by Mr. Gallon pass unnoticed.”—Buffalo Commercial.

The Kingdom of Hate.

“The whole story is told with an appearance of honest, straightforward sincerity that is very clever and well sustained, and the suspicion of satire will only dawn on the reader when the story is well advanced, and he is thoroughly interested in the tumultuous swing.”—Chicago Chronicle.

“A good story, told in an engaging style.”—Philadelphia Press.

“A refreshing example of everything that a love story ought to be.”—San Francisco Call.
