Tba crit ics abused the book, Inveighing against tha efeeffae of literary taste, but tbey were not heeded. Every one road and talked about "The Kiss of Fire." Then suddenly, at the end of three months, the babel ceased. Everybody bad read the book aud waa ready for tba next wonder, About this time tba literary editor of a prominent inagaslne fell ill, and Ben Hathaway, an understrapper, wbo took care of tba books to be reviewed, bap-l voned oa "The Klaa of Fire."

Now, It happened tbat Jimmy Ileeeler, away back of a pair of strange eyes far down la that peculiar brain of bis, had soma very singular fancies-fancies with which only a brain en rapport with hla own would aympatblte. In other words, when Xloealer wrote "The Kiss of Fire" be waa writing ft to Hatbaway. Hathaway In hla criticism spoke very highly of the novel.
