“Possessed of unusual strength and intensity. His characters
are all sharply individualized and fit competently into the

Review_
“The extraordinary plot is the plot of a melodrama, but its
handling is the work of a literary artist and an authentic
humourist.”—_The Chicago Evening Post_

Innocence.’ There will be thousands to delight in it, with
tears and chuckles.”—_Wilson Follett_
