NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. BY Fred

ers," ect. Indianapolis: Bookseller
rill Company
II any one thinks that what Bob Ben
nett did was easy 1t only has to be
mans project was. Just think of 60
ing into society and telling nothing
but the truth, no matter what the oc-
casion or the situation! There are GER
tain conditions of life in which this
could be done. but to keep 1t up for
twenty-one days, and especially with
the one girl in the immediate environ
ment, and most especially with a fam
lily financial collapse in the immediate
background, was to put Bob up to
tremendous task. 1t was eternal JUS
tice that the three who got him into
this situation should find themselves
encoiled by its results. Bob Bennett
stuck rigidly to his wager and won
out handsomely. but his difficulties
were many and serious. He richly de-
served the reward which awaited him.
Mr. Isham has propounded a social
problem in this little story that affords
more than mere amusement
