nID you read Fannie Hearst's last book.
"Lummox?" think it is one of the
most beautiful stories I have ever
read. It seems to me greater than a novel
almost an epic, like Knut Hamsun's
Growth of the Soil" If you have not
read the story, here is the seed Of it:
Bertha, the heroine, huge of body, slow
of brain, is human plough horse. Born in
slum squalor, sucked in the bilge of the
waterfront, she has become an unskilled
housemaid, finding work where she may.
Always that outward shell Of hers stays
stupid and uncouth. But deep in her dumb
spirit, so deep that she herself has never
been able to fully grasp it, beauty lives. A
beauty which is never articulate, but which,

I grip, for his hands were wanted now, on n'instinct, to save his head. But his head met something other than the flags, for Kendrick punched up at his 1 face as he dropped, and Elise, above the gallery, heard Hendricks knuckles strike his nose. Kendrick, taking him half blinded and dazed, hooked him cleanly on the jaw and dropped him at his feet.
 Elise came down the stairs. She put out her hands to him. My dear-my dear! You were in time" So she an- swered the question his eyes asked her. They went out of the place together. The car dropped slowly down the winding road, and struck out for the lights of Bareges, Jules in the back, and Elise silent beside Kendrick.
 CHAPTER e7-THE GUERDON
 Elise and Kendrick sat in a cool, shaded room in the Princess hotel at Faux Bonnes the next day. He and she; Jules had disappeared.
 "So you will not do anything about Brunel!" said Kendrick.
 "No. I think he has received his punishment-and I could not face the publicity. The affair of Mordac will be enough"
 You are probably right" He con sidered her. And even that I don't think need worry you, for I under stand Lolette has confessed frankly that she did it."
 They were ,silent for a little while. Then Kendrick said quietly: T have something to tell you"

 And that is true?" she said.A
 Her calmness disturbed him. "Yes-- and so you are well. You can go to a specialist-a thing you should have done long since, and confirm it."
 She shook her head. 'It is unneces- sary. I know it is true" She paused. Tt is strange that should overlook
