THE TRIUMPH 



r 



THE TRIUMPH has fire and pathos and 

 romance and exhilarating humor. It is a cap- 

 ital story that will keep a reader's interest from 

 the first appearance of its hero, the young doc- 

 tor Neal Robeson, to his final triumph his 

 triumph over himself and over the lawless, tur- 

 bulent oil-drillers, his success in his profession 

 and in his love affair. It displays a delightful 

 appreciation of the essential points of typical 

 American characters, a happy outlook on every- 

 day life, a vigorous story-telling ability working 

 in material that is thrilling in interest, in a set- 

 ting that is picturesque and unusual. The 

 action takes place in a little western Pennsyl- 

 vania village at the time of the oil fever, and a 

 better situation can scarcely be found. Mr. 

 Pier's account of the fight between the out- 

 raged villagers and the oil-drillers around a 

 roaring, blazing gas well is a masterpiece of 

 story telling.
