may say that this novel is one Of the most InIe1
esting we have read in a long time
It treats of a tug Of war between one Arun,
the managing partner IN q Cardiff firm Of ship
owners Joseffs, ArUn & Schlange, and coupe
Of men who, captain and engineer respeo-
lively sign an agreement to take certain
tramp steamer, the Titan. to sea on her first
VOYAGE, and on all her others during a period OF
three years. The Titan has been built according
to Arun's own ideas, and those are peculiar. He
has tried to produce ship for less than Il would
ordinarily cost. and so designed that she VIII
carry unusually large cargoes at less than the
usual expense to her owners. Cramming the
vessel with all sorts Of absurd patents, and leaV-
ing the supervision of her construction IN hands
as dishonest as his own, he ends by turning out
a monster which the dockhands promptly re-
christen the Schweinigel. and which every sea-
man shrns as a potential death trap. But there
IS always some one to take a risk and Robert
shiryiu ships as captain, his friend MGrabbut
shining as chief engineer The story tells Of
their back breaking efforts to keep the Titan
afoat first in all good faith. and then because
they have found Aruu out, and realize that he
would like TO have the brute scuttled He has
much at stake. One of his partners is trying TO
Gust him from the firm. and. as time goes on, he
saes that ne must stand or fall by what he does
with the Titan a colossal mistake which must
somehow be remedied. But once ShirwH and
MGrabbut have seen his hand they fight him
tooth and nail using the Titan as their weapon
with a tenacity threatening to ruin him hnan-
cially and perhaps even land him in court under
a criminal charge.
The issue is handled by Mr.. Noble with Just
the right touch He has the courage OF an
artists convictions and in refusing TO come to
the obvious conclusion only strengthens the
force of his work The interest of The Edge OF

There is no accounting for the idiosyncrasies
Of authors Mr.. Noble prefxes to The Edge Of
Circumstance" an "apologia" which is not only
superfuous, but so deporably pompous that we
naturally expect the book itself to prove one
long stretch Of affectation. Instead of that it is
actually a sea story comparable, in some respects
at least to Mr.. Conrad's ''Typhoon," or 1.-The
Niger of the Narcissus." In his preface, Mr..
Noble writes ike a literary man" having GER
tain conceit of himself In THE Edge Of Cir
cumstance" he writes like who has been
through just such experiences as those which he
describes, and has learned the lesson Of life too
well to talk about it in any save manly, sincere
fashion The story has a fault-tt has been spun
out to too great a Iength-but mention this

Mary Hansen Accused by Four Women

Hansen is a large woman, apparently
about 80 years of age, and looks quite
capable of caring for herself. Yet her
story is that instead of being the guilty
one she is the victim.
II lent Mr.. Johnson the money to buy
out that restaurant and thought that
it would prove a good speculation, but
he has been losing money and so 1 ad-
vised him to close his restaurant. Mon

things out Mrs. Reiderich and her three
daughters attacked me.
"They knocked me down and beat me

that they say that l whipped the four

one that was whipped They did not
want us to move the things out because
they own the building. l guess we ara

owed the butcher a little bill and we
got him to attach the things. Tomor-

affair settled. Then the furnishings will

former king of the cribs" whose
housekeeper she has been for the past
three years.
The charges against Ballerino are
brought in two suits, one breach of

a suit on debt for $780,
According to the story told by the
young woman in her complaints, Bal
lerino on September 1, 1902, asked her
to marry him and represented his
property at a valuation of $500,000. Half
of this she was to have as soon as they
were married but in the meantime as
he said he was divorced he must have
a housekeeper and she went to his
home in that capacity

alleges Ballerino has asked her fifty

was about to marry.
Recently, the housekeepr says she
learned that Ballerino was still mar

could not legally marry her. She now
asserts that her friends mock and
scorn her. That decent people will
have nothing to do with her because
of her employment in the Ballerino
home and that she has been forever

She completed her complaint on the
breach of promise allegation by asking

scorns and jeers of her former friends.
In her other complaint she asks

Predictions Fulfilled

The announcement of the lucky
strike came in the following telegram
from FL Paso, Texas, under date Of
September II:
THE Lakewood Townsite company,
which has been drilling a well for ar
tesian water on block 26 at Lakewood,
a short distance from Carlsbad, has
struck flow of oil in fourteen feet of
oil sand, at a depth of $50 feet. The oil
comes from below the flow of water in
the we'll, which demonstrates the per-
manence of the oil flow.
Estimates have been made of the
amount of oil coming from the well
by computing the amount of oil taken
from a barrel of water and then multi
plying this by the number of barrels
of water flowing from the well, with
the result that the we'll is found. to he
producing about thirty barrels of oil
in twenty-four hours; and as the oil
comes from the sand without any
great disturbance. it is reasonably Ger
tain that were the well to be shot the
flow of oil would be many times what
it now is. Besides, this oil comes
from the first oil sand and as there
will be found below this one a second
and probably a third stratum of oil
sand the strike is of much Importance.
The we'll is located in the north
eastern portion of the oil basin which
extends for several miles to the south
west and which has recently been ex-
amined by Leopold Balbach, an oil ex-
pert of distinction, for the Lakewood
Oil company OF Carlsbad. Mr.. Bal
bach's report was made prior to the
strike in the Lakewood Townsite COM
panys well and his prediction that
large wells of high gravity oil would
be found in the Eddy county oil field
seems to have been fully proven as
the oil is of a paraff1ne basis. and of
high gravity.
THE Lakewood Oil company of
Carlsbad is preparing to enter the field
at an early date and will drill several
wells on It's land. 1t owns upward of
5000 acres in the center of the field"
