Two men, not related, but
looking absolutely alike--one
married, the other a bachelor
secretly change places. The
novel develops along lines new
to fiction, and is torceful, COM
polling story; not story OF style
and words, but a story of doing,
history Of life in action.
When j: was running serially
people kept writing to the editor
begging for advanced proofs, one
man pleading that he had heart
disease and feared he might die
before it came to close. A
reader of Blackwood's for sixty
years says: "Not since l waited
feverishly for Monte Cristo to
appear, have l been so excited
by story"
The New York Euening Man
says of the novel: "
"This is the story of strong man
and strong woman and their high.
handed grasping for happiness in the
face of the moral law. The woman.
magnificent in her love, rises above
considerations OF conventions, above
fear, above conscience. Circumstances
give her the right to follow the die

It will take rank with the few

The novel is being made into a play

women were never intended for work OF

be rash to infer that she is necessarily

tricts where the work is much harder,
but even there the women do it patiently
and never utter word of complaint.
The reason why women take the place
of horses is not because the men are cal

prised very highly and their owners new
