The Unfought Duel
BY E. NESBIT

famous throughout the English
speaking world as a poet, a novelist,
and the author Of children's books.
But THE UNFOUGHT DUEL" is
not a story for children, and 1t is
almost inconceivable that It could
have been written by a woman, and
least Of all. a woman most of whose
life has been spent appealing to the
juvenile mind.
In THE UNFOUGHT DUEL" e.
Nesbit shows the power with which
she can grip a tragic theme The
story revolves around a young wom-
an to whom nothing was sacred-a
creature of vanity, light-hearted, gay,
Indifferent, craving adulation. She
won the love Of two strong men, weak
only in the particular that they died
for her.
How?
That is the story E. Nesbit unfolds.

"MR. FAIL OF
THE FOUNDRY"
BY JOHN II. WALSH

1T Is mighty hard to write about a
Walsh story without tipping off
the point of the story, which is just
what you don't want to have us do,
and just what We would not do If
you wanted us to. It is enough to
say that Fahl was a foundryman
who hated women from the time he
was old enough to know that women
were in the world. OF course. he
finally fell for one-his kind always
do-and If you are not amused at
the courtship of this big, rough, raw
boned handler of hot iron, we shall
be greatly mistaken.

He invented the wrinkle of showing
his goods made UP into suits, instead
of showing them in the piece. The
idea proved tremendously effective,
showing, as it did, exactly how the
goods would look in the form in
which they were to be used. He also
devised way of mixing coarser
woods, with the finer fleece SO that he
was able to underseT competitors
sharply. In many ways he was the
best man Mr.. Sampson could have
found.
Met Dr.. Aver.
Wood became assistant mana ger
then superintendent of the Washing
ton mill. This was in 1890, six years
after DR.. Aver had taken the mill
over for debt. As superintendent.
young Wood was constantly in social
relations with DR.. Aver and his fam
lily, and finally he married the doc
tors daughter. They now have four
children.
From then on Wood acquired sue
cessive millions, presidencies and d.
rectorships, estates and yachts. Last
summer in an automobile case he tes-
titled that he did not know how many
automobiles he owned nor how many
secretaries he employed.
Wood lives at No. Fl Fairfield
street, Boston. He has a summer es-
tate, Arden, at Andover, just south of
Lawrence, another at Pride's Cross
ing and a third on Cuttyhunk Island.
He owns Number of yachts. He is
controlling factor in numerous bust
ness enterprises. One of his sisters
still lives in New Bedford. His
mother and his other sister moved to
Woburn Mass, several years ago.
Woods trial will come probably in
November. District-Attorney Pel1e-
tier, who has the case in hand. ex-
presses confidence that he will place
the wool trust head behind the bars.
Wood himself, however, takes the
matter as a joke, as do many others
here and at Lawrence. They point
out that Pelletier is now running for
governor, and argue that the arrest of
Wood was simply a ruse on the part
of Pelletier to get the workingmen's
votes.
