The background of this tale of the time of Alexander the Great is the Macedonian invasion of the Empire of Darius. The love story tells of the separation of Clearchus, a young Athenian, from Artemisia, his betrothed, on the eve of their wedding, and of how he, with two friends, goes in search of her. It is a spirited and well–told romance. THE MASTER–WORD A Story of the South To–day By L. H.
