A gentleman gets off of a NY subway train at the wrong station. Not in itself an unusual thing; but from that simple act Mr. Vance shows how an unprincipled scoundrel is able to saddle the accusation of murder upon an innocent man; and how a devoted lover loses for years every trace of the woman whom he worships. In the rapid narrative of a double crime, and the unexpected dangers which beset the hero in his long search for the woman whom he finally marries, the author has equaled his best work. (#00001526)
