After twenty years ofseparation froma husband has disfigured her for lifeIn a fit of Intoxication Constance Westseeks out the husband aho still loves inepite of her wrongs Corning to the frontiersettlement with a great longing for recon-ciliation she finds her husband the fatherof a young girl by another wife who baadied The discovery of his infidelity turnsher newly awakened love to freniled hatredond the story U chiefly concerned with herflchemea of subtle and malicious revengeschemes which are confounded at the mo-

It box hurt us a little to think that theheroine was not constant She was quick-to think ill of Maurice at a specious opportunity She was hard and merciless at atime when poor Maurice needed her kind-ness the most Ho tragically helped herto be happy He put a pistol to bU headwhen it was proper and ueccwsary thathe should lx out of the way 10 wirethere was no reason for liia survival In astrong world We feel that it ia a weakness to grieve for him Hid strong andhandsome friend tho real hero of thisstory consoled the widow Geoffrey Dauntthere is strength in the name was un

varying and tremorless in his patient andmagnanimous attitude If he could havebrought himself to be for a singlemoment we confess that it would havebeen a relief to us Curiously both oftho men In the story are constant It Uonly the woman who deviates Her limitwas It had room

have no fault to find with this We respectsoriouH purpose in fiction and we remem-

ber what Victor Hugo did in a story withtho battle of Waterloo

A wag of the period defined a VirginianDebtpayor as ono who would rather oweyou nil hU life than cheat you out of a centand this la perhaps as near a description-of what be was as any that can be given-

In that party there wore doubtless numbersof honest hightonod people who felt thattho Funding Bill however outrageous inorigin or effect ought to be respected as acontract of the State With decidedability as a lawyer and oratorical Rifts ofan antiquated typo Daniel had a

upon his party Mahonewaa at thattime the keenest most virile and aggressiveintellect In Virginia

These brief quotations will indicate thekind and quality of a good deal that is inthe story The impression of reading anovel is not always quito as strong heroas the impression of reading tho NorthAmerican Review It hardly need be saidthat not the less and perhaps even

have found ourselves interested Thoauthor a son of that Governor of Virginiawho ordered the lost earthly disposition ofJohn Brown was a conspicuous figure inthe agitfftlons which he describes He wasa Republican in the Old Dominion after thewar and be ran for Governor in J8S5 Thosewere strenuous times in a famous and
