CHARACTER TEST

~oNFIoENcE and cood-na-
 ture are easy for folks who
 are already prosperous and successful. The true strength of a mans character Is revealed, however. in diversity. Tear the foundation from beneath ore who has always enjoyed advan- tsses of wealth and position, and see if he has the backbone to conquer evil days--:o rise above circumstances and win. In "Web of Steel" we have the story of a man whose foundation is de- stroyed. His figh, to rebuild it makes the novel It is not mere- iy entertaining fiction; it Is a piece of inspiring literature. We feel sure all of OUT readers will enjoy this Cyrus Towsend Brady serial.
