DOLF WYLLARDE TELLS
VIVID STORY OF THE EAST

We are not told IN Dolf Wyllarde's
story OF Exile John Lane Company
Just where the British military post
called Exile vas situated: but II was
probably on the edge OF Arabia, for there
were Camels and desert sands and very
hot weather, and the novelist gays
that IN Bombay. where there IL vegc-
tation, the place was held TO he the
ahomination OF desolation. Some other
places In the story bore suggestively
fanciful names. Punishment was one
OF them, and Health was another.
Health vas a long way of. Its physi-
cal character Is not clear to US: 1t may
have been an oasis. Steamers coming
TO Exile also touched at Alden. and W.
have an idea hat that torrid port was
not far away.
Interest Is sharply excited when Mrs.
Everard comes along past the club

on tho vcrarda were not agitated. why
they looked upon this great beauty

Both ara proven facts and no longer
