Woman from Afar, the corrupter who.
involuntarily, prepares the youth for
the vision that is unfolded to him dur
woeh of drifting on the lonely
s?-as in ft boat with these three and the
woman's ehild. There i? a touch of
Jack London's horrible superme?. in
: episode on the water, and much
that suggests Joseph Conrad and yet
it is all typically Mr. Comfort's own,
own mystic, spiritual plane. The
material experience, the physical suf?
fi ring-- ovar are but the base for the
development of understanding, the
flowering of mind and soul and if the
planter dies horribly in his mnte.'ial
ism and the missionary loses his life,
:t is not utt'.l his mission i; fulfilled.
The youth and th? woman have found

with him readily follow in his path.

In "His Official Fianc?" Miss Buck
told the story of a self-supporting giii
who, all in the way of business, played
the part of her employer's betrothed,
(living this invention a twist she tells
us. in this flaw story of hers, the compli?
cations that ensued when an energetic
matter-of-fact young woman devoted
to uplift work told her private secre?
tary to ??rite her lovc letter* for her.
The engagement was a matter of con?
venience, not love a matter of cousin
ll p and property. In fact, the be?
trothed had never seen each other, the
?oung man being away at the ends of
the earth doing things. The secretary,
however, a girl "who was incidentally
a golden-blonde, goddess-built," ?vith
violet eyes, concluded that in even so
prosaic and material an engagement
should be room for epistolary
.sentiment and, Well, she was curien <
tc see what a light touch of it ?vould
do. It brought the young man home,
eager t.. ni'et and won his formerly
prim correspondent. Having led the
reader to the beginning of the plot,
the reviewer leaves her to discover
its development for herself. It leads
us into the early days of the war
the private secretary goes recruiting in
the streets of London and she thinks
of war bride?. Thus does a ?vhimsical
story end on a serious note.

TELLS OF CHECK
THAT COST BLOOD
"Every One Kicks Dovvn
and-Outer," Says Chauf?
feur, Freed by Court.
"When a man's down and out every?
body kirks him around and hard luck
just seems to follow him."
This was the sentiment expressed
yesterday by Henry Troller, who wai
arrested Wednesday night, charged
with forgery, after he had come from
the Prcibyterian Hospital, weak from
giving a pint of his blood to lave a
dying patient. Miss Tina Seitz, the
cashier who caused his arrest, would
make no comment upon it last night.
Troller, who is a chauffeur but trill
work at anything to provide food for
i himself, his wife and their two small
children, ??as discharged Ifl Washing?
ton Heights court yesterday after Al?
fred Kraus, of 14rJ2 St. Nicholas Ave?
nue had testified. Troller was charged
with having written Kraus's name, fol
lo??ed by his own, on the back of the
$34.84 check h had cashed. He con?
tended that he had received the per?
mission of Kraus, in whose favor the
check was drawn, to indorse it for him.
Kraus w-as unable to remember in
? court whether he had given Troller the
right to sign his name, and Magistrate
I'euel discharged the prisoner.
In his home at .3883 Tenth Avenue
1 roller told his story.
"I was up against it," he said, "and
could get nothing to do except odd jobs
that would last only for a few days. I
owed Kraus the $31.84, and got a check
from my uncle to pay him. Then I
called Kraus up, fold him I had no
money and asked it' 1 could indorse the
check with his name arid pay him when
I got enough. He said that ?voultl be
a!! right. So I went to Tina and asked
her to cash the cheek.
? 'That isn't Kraus's signature' she
told me. bat when I explained that I
had telephoned him she gave me the
money. That was in July. The next
'hing I heard w-as a ?veek ago Wednes?
day, when 1 was handed a subpoena. I
went to see Assistant District Attorney
Heilborn, and when he accused me of
forgery I described the whole thing to
him. He took my statement and told
me I'd hear from him in a few daya."
Troller described ho?v he saw the
Presbyterian Hospital's advertisement
in a newspaper a ?zees' B**0 tor a man
who would give a pin? of blood. He
went there and was tested b] Or. Caid
well.
"The day before yesterday I got a
message and went back. I was put in
bed and 500 cubic c-ntimetre? of blood
a little more than a pint was taken
from my right wrist for Miss Sarah
Wilson, a patient. The doctora advised
me to stay In the hospital, because I
was still weak, but I said 1 wanted to
get my $15 and get out to settle up
this check matter.
"As soon as I left I telephoned Miss
Seitz and told her I ?vould give her $10
If she would come to the home of my
urother George, at 32 West 115th
.?treet. I was too weak to go all the
way to my house. She met me and I
?a?e her $10 of the $15 [ had received
for my blood. When I explained that
I ?vould pay th-> rest as soon as I got it
she said that was agreeable and left.
Soon, however, she returned with De?
tective Harvey and I was arrested. I
went to Police Headquarters, where I
was locked up."
In court yesterday Trollt-r's brother
gave Mis-? Seitz a certified check for
the money still owed her and the case
was dropped. Meanwhile the bloosl
giver is hunting for work.
