at the same time the author
has a purpose to serve and goes
at it with great directness. The

of a wealthy banker, who becomes
imbued with the idea of serving in the
Salvation Army. The account of her
work in that body forms the main part
of the story The love and romance
are furnished by wealthy young gen
tleInan who leaves his indOlent life
and joins the army in disguise, in or
der that he may be near Captain
Molly" and find grace in her
eyes. He rescues her from a, burn
ing building, and restores her
to her former life, though they
both continue to find their highest
good in the work OF the Salvation
Army.

If Mr.. Louis Lombard had dropped
his brains into his inkwell before he
began to write the observations of a
Bachelor" the fabric of his thoughts
would not be more discolored than it
IS by nature-or pose. For Mr.. Lonl-
bard lmpreSseS us as a gentleman who
IS more interested in the length of
shadow he can cast than in the posi-
ton or brightness of the SUM- We are
not prepared to prove that the world
Is a very agreeable thing, but we do
know that the right side is farer than
the seamy, and just as honest and
truthful. Mr.. Lombard is a disciple of
Max Nordau and tries to paint with
colors from his masters box. The pic
ture is neither a pleasant nor important
one, and the master is certainly not
h0nored in this travesty.
