man-Beauty Steele hc is caIled-Suffers a
temporary loss Of memory just when il is most
important that he should remain in full possess

crisis, what happens during his seven months
of mental oblivion. and what he goes through
when he takes up his new existence, it would be
unfair to Mr.. Parker and to his readers to

Still my voice is spent.
