literary work.
One day. Gorki's friends say. she
coldly and brutaIly confessed to him
that the stage had called her back with
a voice tenderer than his. that the call
was more powerful than her love for
him. and that she no longer was able
to resist it. Quarrels between the two
naturally epsued.
Plunged Into Illness.
Cork, who then was working fever
ishly on two new books, one which had
for its setting the Island of Capri. and
the small foreign settlement nestled
along the shore, dropped his pen and
soon fell into a state of dependency
which grew daily more intense, until he
took 20 his bed. 1t was one stormy
afternoon while the sea roared and the
novelist raved in his bed under high
fever, that Maria Rejevna left Capri
never TO return.
For fifteen days the novelist lay un-
conscious between life and death. When
he awoke several persons were around
his bed. Among them was a woman
whom he almost had forgotten. one
whose countenance had, in the mean
while, grown noble and sweeter, brought
about by years OF tense resignation and
suffering. Side by side with the woman
was a boy not yet eighteen years old.
Doctors Treatment Succeeds.
Both the woman and boy looked on
the dazed, weak man with the joyful
eyes of those who could see their most
cherished hopes realized. They were
Ekaterina, Gorkfs wife, and their only
son. The third person was DR.. Man

the Cork family now is permanently
reunited.

set takes its cue from court, not only the
tango but the waltz and two-step have
