Kipling's THE Light That Failed" is
to be dramatized with the authors APP
proval by George Fleming, and will be
produced by Miss Olga Nrthersole. il is
. by no means Mr.. Kipling's best work, but
there are several scenes in 1t that are
dramatic IN the extreme. And yet after
all, it is the bits OF description in it that
one remembers best, and those grim
touches by which Kipling hints at much
more than he tells. All this would be
lost on the stage. It is very likely. how.
ever, that he has ia him the makings OF
strong dramatist if he should ever turn his
attention to the stage But nowadays the
chief attraction which the drama has TO
offer to an English writer is OF a inancia,
kind, and Mr. klpling is one Of the few
lucky favorites who can disregard such
considerations

charges against hi, administration as city
architect, and he brought a libel suit
against Mr.. Peabody, a prominen; politi-

dication and the result was a black eve, DO
litically, for young Mr. Atwood and he
retired TO private life. He is an energetic
man, however. and he has now bobbed up
serenely again into public life, and the
Boston papers intimate that he has a good
chance OF securing the Republican nomi-
