an American against the worm

world ---0S such may the novel
"RaJ a Chance" be briefly de-
scrtbed. The brilliantly drawn
characters, typical of London.
range from Jocelyn Wroy the
beautiful young debutanfe, sought
and worshiped by score of
noblemen, to Tom Rogers, the
british filcher, hishwayr,Gr and
Ge6osed niogsman. A feature of
the story is the influence that
can be exerted on her associ-
afes Of low and high degree by
the sweetness, simplicity and
purity Of a little girl. She was
confident that there was some
thing good in man, no matter
how low he might have sunk. She
set out to prove it. The manner
of her endeapor and the events
associated with it go to make the
story one of rare fascination.
And the vivid pen picture of the
struggle of a great hunaCn spirit
to emerge from the abyssn,al
depths of wrong living and deg
radiation will long be imprinted
on the memory of the reader.
