We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

This is rather a crude example of the cut-back, but it serves to show how the scenes are laid out to hold the suspense. It also makes possible that overturned automobile. As the car swerves it is stopped. After .it is overturned scene fifty-one is made and then the last scene. That last scene closes the story rather abruptly, but it is better to stop right there. We see that John gets the girl and there our interest dies. It would be possible to go on and show the marriage, but it would be just as possible and just as logical to keep on and show that they had children and grandchildren, that they lived to a ripe old age, then died and were buried. This is the story of how John won Nell. As soon as he wins her stop, for the interest dies. There is art in knowing just when the story starts, but to know just when to stop and not stop a scene too soon or two scenes too late is a far greater accom- plishment. Before we drop the story note that while we early find that the Count really is Jim Laroque, a thieving chauffeur, we keep on calling him the Count. Have just one name for a character and always use that name.
