Fiske wanted TO make an impression on

took advantage Of her trustfulness in order
TO do il. One day he went for a drive
about the city with her. Whenever they
passed a particularly fine building Fiske
would n~oDchalantly call her attention 70
it and say he owned it. As pile after pile

which has brought him before the public
Is the suppression in Paris Of his LAY

certain events of the French revolution,
and had a distinctly political flavor. On
the second night Of its performance the
audience became rotous, and the author
