london lawyer, who, aided by the wife of
a professional invalid, fought his way to
fame and honor In his profession. carrying
on in the meantime a unlawful relation
with his benefactress. encouraged by her
and not discouraged by her husband, to the
point where his promotion to parliamentary
practice compelled him to choose between
the woman and his promotion. Naturally no
chose the woman. caused her death and
the wrecklng of his own life. The COM

tthe ugly details Of the life OF the man
and the woman, with the result Of making
the moral of the story shine the more con-
spicuously. Incidental to the main theme
are many character studies that have not
been exceled since Dickens time. The
book is published by Mitchell Kennerly,

that It is still possible to procure

the gorgeous act of lie De Dio. the re-
markable pantomime; THE Elopement of

be seen here at the Krug for three days,

student of human nature. He built HIS
plays upon humorous lines and so con-

moral of no uncertain force. When the
