* Wayne, Charles Stokes. Marriage of Mrs. Merlin. †$1.25. Dillingham.
7–26961.
The unique situations growing out of a wealthy young widow’s purchase of a husband constitute the fabric of this tale. Mrs. Merlin seeks out a good looking, broad-shouldered young Englishman, offers him the sum of twenty thousand pounds to marry her and protect her during a year of travel; at the end of which time either may end the contract. Shadows out of the past flit across the path of each which are dissipated by the growing faith in each other. The year’s end brings to them an earldom and proves that their trial marriage has been successful enough to endure.
