By Ella Stryker Mapes. It is a novel attractively presenting the counterpoise of character and fate. Broad in conception and true in tone, the story is handled with distinct style. The spark of life glows on every page, the atmosphere is vital—electrified by the quickening currents of humanity.
Hamilton W. Mabie says of it: “There is a great deal of vitality in it, an amount of passion that gives it color, movement and go, quite unusual in stories from the pen of American women.” 12mo. Cloth bound. Illustrated by Latimer J. Wilson, $1.50.
