Knot Of Human Fate" published by Little,
Brown & Co. There are only two char
acters. a man and woman. in the Meredith

them in difficulties that make up an IN

The three dimensions In space, as every
one knows. are length. breadth and thick
Hess. The fourth dimension is a scientific
fiction, which the learned have not yet been
able to establish in fact. Nevertheless I'M

Joseph Conrad and Mr.. Ford NJ Hueffer
have written clever and amusing story
entitled, THE Inheritors." in which they
claim the heroine to be an inhabltant OF
the fourth dimension. and indeed her re-
markable actions do give color to the pos
sibility Of an ultramundane origin.
The story Is a fantasy and deals with
political and journalistic life in Paris and
London, and has to do with q gigantic
scheme TO cheat the Inhabitants OF Green
land out of their country and their homes.
