But her daughter, Isabeau, sur wives. to become a reincarnation of her mothers, wonderful beauty, with .sstrange, pale hair that glows like sil- ver.' The grandfather of Isabeau. who by the way, is a man of iron with grand physique, wonderfully strong even at eighty, has set his heart upon marriage with young Englishman. Anton Beresford, brave and noble and also endowed with great physical strength The old earl and his son, yiscount Stratton, are a finely drawn pair, especially the old earl with his pride of race, his yigor and wondrous strength. The women of the story are exquisitely drawn. Mrs Marlowe, the woman with past, handsome and cap tivating, whose charms captivate the Viscount, who asks her to be his wife, unaware of the stain upon her name, is admirably sketched in all her various moods, and the delicate ground upon which the author treads is most deli cateIy and tactfully dealt with. seri- ously compromised during her hus- bands life and divorced by him, her name has been linked with Beresford' S who, believing her innocent of the ac- cusation made against her, has been al most Quixotic in his espousal of nel cause, and who nearly falls victim to this Quixotic sense of honor. She has learned to love him, but he has never 1T any way been interested save as a loya and devoted friend. The woman tries him beyond endurance, even to insisting in her Jealousy of Isabeau that ht should marry her few hours after sht had gone through wearing menta struggle and accepted the Vfscount's of fer of his hand and heart. Beresford: great strength comes into play mos opportunely one day in the chautes woods when he saves the beautiful ant adorable Isabeau from the fangs of great Dane mastiff that was about t tear her life out The great strong Ear solves the mystery which had hung oye as a pail the idyllic love of Beresfort , S,, h fr nyx-l masterly way; and the lovers draem Q happiness, at one time nearly shattered is at last realized.
