pected to prove a sensation not soon
to be forgotten.

deepest tragedy. but in The Lone
Wolf he has a story OF entirely diff
ferent character to depict. 1t relates

Wolf. This man became a crook
through his adoption in his boyhood

vengeance and when, in later years,
he comes across the trail OF this man,
