ton. but a flesh and blood heroine
that seems rather creature of real
life than of printed pages.
The hero, Phil. Calmont, forms a
strange and fascinating figure of a
wholly extraordinary type. In fact the
story fairly teens with rare character
drawing. sustained interest and strik-
ing local color. Taken all in all, "The
Iron Lord is perhaps the strongest,
most interesting romance of the year.
