The glow of romance kindles in the new volume by this successful author. The tale entitled The Swindler and its sequel, jointly constituting a substantial portion of the book, strike a full, vibrant, soul-filling note which is not diminished in the shorter but no less dramatic stories which follow. The Swindler is the story of one who, irredeemably bad in the eyes of the undiscerning, has all the latent nobility of his nature called into play through the faith which is reposed in him by the one woman who counts.
