The hero Of this remarkably vigorous
and exciting romance is forced by ADVERSE
circumstances to become an humble
workman, when by right he saould be
enjoying all the luIurIes of sflluence.
Contact with the common people, the
producers of wealth, develops tle nobil-
lily OF his nature; he sees how they are
ill-treated and despised by those whom
the chances OF fortune have placed above
thea, and he becomes their advocats and
defender. His POWER ls SO dreaded by
Interruptions foes that he Is IN de the
victim OF a startling accusation, and Is
unished for crime he never committed.
A pleasing loyc-story is artis;cally
woven with the more exciting events Of
the woIE, and the plot Is u marvel OF in
genuiiy. Prot. Ww. Henry Peck is the
author, aud Street Il Smith are the pub
