reader by the mystical charm Of that
historic and alIuring atmosphere. The
idea of the story is TO contrast ma
terialism and ideahsm, the wife being
the materialist, and the husband the
idcalist, the man loving the soul which
is not present and the woman loving
the body of n man other than her
husband. Naturally this leads to Il
tragedy. and quite as naturally the
matcrialist is the one who is utterly
lost. and tho idcalist, while suffering
mental torture, is still able to rely
upon and rest in The soul-lifc Of his
ideaIism. II is novel of great grasp
and power. 1t depicts not only the
native life, Arabic and mixed blood of
the region, but the life of the English,

absorbing one, full Of fire and power.
