between Iron Lock and Sec

Lis and their ilk as the most
dastardly effrontery. an outra-
geous INSTRUMENTATION that
threatened their power and
position. But In the Ii village
were good men who had heard
that the revolution beyond
the mountain would make
such voluntary matches COM

the young lovers.
The malevolence that the
Maiden brings to bear on the
pair is almost more than they
can stand. The Lis, except for
Possessed Of Talent, are deal

dispossess them Of their land

malevolent Maiden reveals
that the rottenness Of the So

new concepts of mental ILL
ness have their vogue. We are
concerned with a boy named
Davey. who grew up DOM
mated by a harsh mother,
whom he subconsciously hated,
and a father who was SYM
pathetic and intelligent but
Intellectual. Davey's story Is
told by his best friend, a
slightly older boy. Theirs was

inhabitants seemed to be spir-
itual as well as physical de.
scendants of Puritans. The

Davey is an attractive but
maladjusted adolescent. To
compensate for the mother he
felt he never had. he falls in
love with a susceptible woman
old enough to be his mother;
she encourages him but holds
him of. Almost inevitably, by
the time he is 10, he has COM
mitted a brutal crime.
As he got older Davey so
obviously was not normal that
it is hard to believe someone
