reader inspiration, and therefore
it's value can hardly. be overes-
zfn7ofed. The magic Of the love
Of man for woman, that, aroused
simply by the sound of a voice,
causes a young millionaire to
cross oceans and traverse
foreign lands to find his fate
wns never better pictured. The
story is Intensely romantic and
dzzuringly mysterious. The in
sfdious evils Of unwise marriage
with foreign "nobzemen" are
cleverzy shown, and the familiar
Italian brand of intrigue is laid
bare. The author shows that the
reward Of patience and purity is
happiness and that the wages
of sin is death. He makes you
laugh when he pictures the ad-
ventures of an American comic
opera troupe stranded in foreign
lands. He makes you thrill with
the wanderlust when he describes

40 francs on No. 26 and 400 on black,

pretty woman, who smiled. If she
spoke English-he scrubbed the ques-
ton on a scrap Of paper and pushed it
across the table, blushing a little as
he did so. She read it. or at least
