Kentucky, where he arrived in the midst of Night Rider Fight, and then he made toward Georgia and in Atlanta found his long lost Doctor once more.
 Again they started out. and this time it was with a wonderful solution, GUARAN- FEED to make black skin white. but after bit the Doctors conscience rebelled against such a fake and they left without attempting to cajole the public into pur- chasing their wares.
 Conviction trial and their final res cue, is told by Danny in most thrilling and dramatic manner, and when the iden- tity of their rescuer Is made known there is a powerful climax for the Colonel who does the work and who would have strung the Doctor up had not the Doctors iden- tity been revealed. which informed tho Colonel that the Doctor was his brother in-law.
 The Doctor then tells of how the Col onefs sister (his wife) deserted him and that ever since he had been total fail ure and wreck on account of his search for her.
 Then what do you suppose happens7 Instead of Danny being waif. like wc have supposed all through his own story. the whole affair is untangled and Danny turns out to be the Doctors only son. Danny Own Story" as told by Mir. Jjarquis, Is suggestive of Mark Twain and O. Henry-quite as fiuently and quite as graphically told as they would have done it.
