oxford, England. Monte Carlo, Lon
don and rural England witness the
happenings of scenes marking success
sive steps in the development of the
story Richard Forster. an Anglo
| American, who made a fortune in the
| South American mines and returned to
| England TO enjoy 1t. figures as the
| hero of the novel. An old friend of

| parative happiness and independence.
| appears in tho story as Mrs. Bar
clay. though her real name was KITTY
| Fox, she being the daughter of al
New York restaurant-keeper. Richard
| Forstcr's friendship for Kitty Fox was
used by his enemies to create some of
| the complicated situations OF the
novel.
Richard Forster was very nearly per-
suaded that he desired Gertrude
Wyatt, clever young English wo-
man. belonging to upper English
classdom, for his wife and was very
nearly betrayed into asking her 10
marry him. Fate and Dorothy Wason-
a different English type interviewed
for Forster's happiness.
Forster began his triumphs as
| financier, by crushing John p. steer,
the Wall Street aluminium king. and
paid a debt which he owed for Steers
! treatment of Forsters father In
Love the Judge Steer forms a
syndicate to get his revenge out of
Forster Gertrude Wyatt, because she
is as much in love with Forster as a
woman of her nature can be- en-
deavors to break his engagement with
dorothy Wason by convincing Dorothy
of Forster's 'unfaithfulness and his
love for Kitty Fox.
. There is much plotting and counter
plotting. The book canvas is n large
one and well-flled with figures. The
. action is lively and unceasing and the
!. incidents come about naturally. The
= authors style is sufficiently dramatic
: to lend color and life to what is de-
scribed. There is vigor without
a coarseness and animation without a
:, sacrifice of wholesomeness. At the
conclusion a pretty explanation of
q the title is given when the hero says
: to the woman he loves: ut is not
: Love the Gift nor Love the Debt; il
e is Love the Judge that has taught us
/, our lesson-Love the Judge of Life

: The mysterious death of Horace
:. yendre head of the American BLADE
), and Trigger Company, arouses in tbs
y mind of the READER of THE Dragnet'
= three burning questions. These are
whether Vendire was killed by Diana
:. Frewe, his intended wife, Charles
Alexander, his successful business
rival, or James Nendire, his brother
The fact that Diana Frewe was
= known TO be the last person who saw
9 him alive. connected with suspicious
circumstances surrounding their meet
ing pointed suspicion toward her.
Charles Alexander was ascertained to
| have had a sharp quarrel with Ven
81 dire on the night of his disappear
ance and to have also had a supposed
meeting with him, in returning from
miles distant.
A trunk containing the supposed
body of Vendire was sent from Lewis
ton to his former home. 1t was
identified and buried before the trutl
came out that the CHASTITY contents
of the trunk were sent to draw atten'
ton away from a second crime fol
which the perpetrators were punished
and that Horace Vendire was still UNI
buried.
Much skill and time were expended
before the correct solution of TIKI
matter set all doubts at rest, and freed
from blame all uniustly suspected. TIL,
climaxes of the story are arranged
- most effectively, and the novel is
good example of its kind and of the
, story teller's art.
