Peter Hawkins, a clerk with ideals, has a youthful escapade with a workgirl named Evie Wills. But remorse dogs him ever afterwards, and when, while he is leading an unhappy married life, he has the sudden opportunity of saving Evie from moral disaster, he rises to the height of his chance and fulfils his ideals. But he is misunderstood by his wife, who sues him for a divorce but fails to bring conclusive evidence. The book ends happily, and throughout its course is a fine picture of a rather humdrum soul seeking--and reaching--the heights of opportunity and spiritual victory. _By the same Author:_ And then Comes Love Dawn Breaking Red "Mr. Milner tells a story well, with a vividness of incident, and he has a nice sense of humour."--_Northern Whig_. * * * * * The Money Barons By John Haslette Vahey Dexter's ranch was wanted by Kelly who had projected a railway through it, but Dexter had reasons for believing Kelly had tried to murder him. A plausible rascal, Page, pressed his services upon Dexter, to expose Kelly, but Page was employed by a greater rascal called Bull, who had a whole staff of gunmen upon his pay roll. From then onwards the story moves as swiftly and unerringly as the most hardened reader could desire, and what Dexter found on his ranch and how he married a maid in the enemy's camp must be left to Mr. Vahey to tell. _By the same Author:_ Fiddlestrings Down River Up North The Storm Lady Payment Down "Well told, with a quietly effective undercurrent of excitement."--_The Times_. * * * * * POPULAR NOVELS BY EDGAR WALLACE PUBLISHED BY WARD, LOCK & CO., LIMITED.
