Short sketches are welded together to form this book. There is a gallant Kentucky millionaire; “there is a very lovely widow who talks to him in the tea room, and to whom he tells quaint tales of the West; there is a young man, the millionaire’s adopted son, and a young woman, the widow’s niece.... To add to the zest of it too, the Colonel—so the millionaire is called—is very fond of playing Haroun Al Rashid. There is a villain also.” (N. Y. Times.)

“Really, the present volume furnishes some very good reading.”
