" An Angel of the Revolution," etc. A SENSATIONAL AND UP-TO-DATE SERIAL OF ABSORBING INTEREST. In this his latest novel, Mr George Griffith grapples with modern problems, and portrays with vividness and skill some of tlio most dramatic episodes for which a parallel can be found in this somewhat prosaic everyday existence of ours. That speculators. company promoters, and gambler.? in stocks and shares appear to have their own code of morality, the author makei clear, as also the fact that they sometimes endeavour to procure a scapegrace for their own misdeeds. Such is the case in the indictment of Lord Overbury, a too-confiding nobleman, who. thanks to the efforts of Kenneth Markham, is unconditionally acquitted. This young barrister, who will not accept a brief until he is convinced of the merits of the ease, is a fine character— of nature's noblemen. His father is ruined by the machinations of an unscrupulous syndicate of company-pro-moters. Prostrated on his death-bed the old man dictates a will enacting that the whole of his private fortune should be distributed amongst the poor shareholders of his companies. Before he can append his signature, however, he is called away. Nevertheless. Kenneth (the act .is characteristic of the man), seconded by his mother and sister, decides that the unsigned will shall be given effect to. and the family honour vindicated even at the cost of impoverishment.
