When z. NJ. S. McClelland gave US Leah
Kleschna," he was full OF an idea. The
moral rejuyenation Of a woman through an
awakening OF her lethargic sense of right
and wrong, or rather through the correction
Of her distorted sense of the proprleties.
Leah Kieschna's father was a moral per-
vert, and had trained his daughter to be-
lieve as he did, that in stealing from the
rich they were but retaliating for wrongs
committed against society. Leah was un-

the woman was quite in keeping with her
general character as outlined by the
dramatist. straightforward and purpoSeful,
once she was convinced that her view OF
life was wrong and her occupation one that
society frowned upon, she did not debate

Clelland married his story for realism by
sending the educated and polished gentle
man OF the world to search out the re-

OF a society that knew much il not all about
her. This was illogical.
