this is something TO the credit OF this

THE Glory Of the Conquered" by
Susan Glaspell. The story OF won
derful love OF man and his wife. he
ginning with the wedding between a
great scientist and young artist.
Life holds infinite possibilities for hap
piness- for these two, when In mo-
ment OF carelessness in his laboratory
the husband becomes infected with a
virus which destroys his sight. The
problem OF now to continue the re-
search the man has prosecuted To the
threshold OF great discovery for the
benefit OF mankind furnishes strong
impulse. The wifes attempt to carry
on her blind husbands work in his
laboratory without his knowledge is
seconded by their devoted friend, a
physician OF eminence and great skin.
whose character stands as one OF the
most perfect strokes of literary art
lately achieved. The two phases OF
medicinal science are clearly present
ed in this narrative. the investigation
into the cause OF disease and the APP
plication OF cure discovered thereby.
The story will be OF interest To read.

Loaded Dice" by Ellery III. Clark
This story deals with the colder hui
man passions SO characteristic OF the
day--lust for gold and for the power
that wealth brings. the gamble in
which material success is staked
against human lives, the game in
which boldness and nerve usually win,
and in which love and the more gem
erous instincts are but pawns. The
book is Of absorbing interest. 1t is
unquestionably well put together and
1t is charmingly illustrated. The
hero, Gordon, with his cold-blooded
brutality. is not unattractive. and hav-
ing entered the rough path OF crime
through secret effort at blackmail-
ing a friend In moment OF extreme
temptation, he seems almost thrust by
fate into more serious crimes in his
fear of detection. Mr.. Clark's book
cannot fail to find many readers.

BODY FOUND IN PARK
Bullet in Breast of Baltimorean.

BALTIMORE. August 15.-The body Of
Stephen Dembipsky eighteen years old
son Of William Dembinsky, 4lS South
Payson street. was found near clump
of bushes in Carroll Park annex near the
banks Of Gwynns falls, yesterday morn
ing by Park Patroman Toomy. The
youth had a bullet wound in his brca st
and had evidently been dead several DAYS.
Coroner Blake decided to hold an inquest
tonight, as the boys parents contend that
he was killed
The fact that no weapon from which
the shot was fired has been found by the
police is the main point which leads TO a
murder theory. The police however, say
that it is likely Dembnsky walked several
yards after firing the shot and dropped
the pistol. They further contend that the
pistol might have been found by some
one without the body being detected.
DemDinSky wore "A coat which had been
Ritter. The lapel had been thrown back
and the pistol muZZle held close against
the breast. The shirt was badly burned.
