tim girl sufficiently educated and gently
bred TO be the more sensitive to humil-
iation and pain. Sabina was the daugh
ter Of Susan Dinnett, housekeeper TO
Henry Churchouse, who had been for
years the closest friend of the Ironsyde
family, and in his house as well as at the
mill Raymond and Sabina were thrown
together. When through an accident Ray
mond is put in full possession Of the
Irunsyde estate he abandons what faint
thought lie had entertained OF marrying
Sabina and making their child legitimate.
Stunned by the advantage which Ray
mond has taken of her, Sabina finds her
love turned to hate while yet her child is
unborn, and 50 he is nurtured by hatred
which is to do him infinitely more harm
than the unfairness of the English law
regarding natural children.
Woven among the lives Of the princi-
pal characters is Estelle Waldron, dun
and rather unreal person 10 whom Ray
mond becomes betrothed toward the close
of the book. She appealed 70 every one
in the book, but it is doubtful if her lot
will be so fortunate with readers Mr.
Phillpotts knows how to make his char
acters interesting, but he rarely makes
them charming. We are impressed with
the lack of any attempt at anything in
the way of surprise or Of holding back
which he has shown in this novel. Very
evidently he has made the plot a see
ondary consideration to his character de-
velopment, which doesn't at all imply that
the movement is not dramatic. 1t is the
sort of movement that can't help being
dramatic whatever you do to it.
Between the first and second parts ten
years elapse. For Sabina they have
brought deadening of the old anguish,

of small nations at 4 time when such par

family near the Perkins Institute in South

political refugees generally in need of

borderlands of pathology, the writer of

While the name of Julia Ward Howe
is probably destined to live as long as our
country endures, in her lifetime her career
by no means overshadowed that Of her
equally distinguished husband, whose work
for Laura Bridgman, the Helen Keller of
her generation, won him world fame. Mrs.
Hall notes that for the first three years
Helen keller's education by Miss Sullivan
was directed at the Perkins Institute
and had for its basis the report Of DR..
Howe on his pioneer experiments with
