JACK LONDON A BRILLIANT
RIVAL TO RAMUS FOR HARM

"He had a good constitution, never
was on intimate terms with sickness
nor even mild disorders, but he lacked
vitality His was a negative organism.
No blood with ferment in it could
have nourished and shaped that long
and narrow face, those thin lips, lean
cheeks and the small, sharp eyes. The

and sparse, advertised the niggard

dered and agonized, and that he
should do right was as necessary to
his nature as loving and being loved
were necessary to commoner clay.
"He has persistently prosecuted a
young half caste for his moral lapses
which do not appear to be so awful
to any one but the missionary's son
He feels it is duty, and says so
Suddenly he learns that TINS young
half caste is his half brother and the
shock nearly kills him, for it shakes
the foundations of his house of pride
He has always revered his fathers
memory, and this is too awful. But
the natural cruelty of his disposition
finally triumphs and he solves his diff

Standing on platform with twenty
