JgAWBDAt, MOVEMBUR JO - • In the opening scene of this absorbing story the reader 13 introduced to the luxurious interior of the mansion of Stephen Morrison, a type of the modern ' plutocrat; From the very outset the author gives one 'the impression that ha ■ has - a story to tell, and ! ; therefore, i does not i waste time on wnat i might be called the accessorial of the narrative. , i Incidentally a vivid light is thrown on the gambling propensities of modern - society, as manifested in the wide vogue of bridge. The first ■: love passage between y Wilfrid Bayfield and :: Freda % Everton u in '<■ the ? garden n is z only one episode In a romantio attachment wbioh, despite many vicissitudes, endures. to the end. This particular tete-a-tete is • interrupted by the intrusion of a discordant element in the person of Grace Morrison, ;> who f takes advantage : of i Freda's i dependent position to ; give vent to - her jealousy of her rival'B place in the affections of the man they both, love, '^x Wilfrid Bayfield is a young doctor with 8 a small practice ; and a ; proportionate ;; Income.' Despite the warnings of >his. sweetheart, he falls a victim rto : the prevalent.; crate for gambling. H- Spurred •on.! by f the stinging innuendoes of the wily : Bent ley, y and saddled with: a reckless partner, he is soon rendered practically : penniless. He ■ confesses: to ? Freda that he has disregarded her advice, and that now he finds a himself . unable -to fulfil , his pledge to Frank Sasby—to lend.him a turn of * money ?to s, save i himself v from disrepute and his brother from disgrace. Freda Afc tressed js and \": sympathetic; .: she ■ even offers voluntarily, to assist her lover in Ills hour of. Mi In foot, uli'e brings Mm i 'valuable jewelled miniature brooch or marlnjlioc, which she bega him to accept. i He, however, i»hivalfottsly declines to take advantage of v her jdevotion. Another interruption ■ causes them 'to leave iS the '4 conservatory,'? momentarily, s and J when they ,; return the medallion has disap- I peared in moot mysterious fashion, This disappearance is the first '..< a series of : strange happenings which, are calculated: to i excite :. the; reader's if interest, to fix his attention, and to fathom the "< drift •of 15 which will exercise' his ingenuity. < Thus it may be deduced, that the medallionsis:;■ destined .;■ to have no small bearing on the course of the ■'.narrative.'";: The :element 'of mystery;-wad suspense is still further ideepened by.ithe.entry of a cloaked stranger, -whom" wo afterwards ! know as Mr. Marriott. His appearance seems to upset all Mr. Morrison's calculations. Of the important part ; which he plays in- the i story we cannot apeak at this point. Nor is | it possible to dwell on,, or even hint.: at, a: tithe of the complications and entanglements | in s which s the ingenious i writer has : involved his characters. Those > who follow the story from the beginning will find -that "Craven Fortune" is a powerful and a thrilling serial, and that the threads : are gathered together finally in a dramatic and appropriate consummation.
