THE STRANGENESS

OF NOEL CARTON
               By
       WILLIAM CAINE

 Noel Carton, driven to desperation
 by his vulgar little wife who, in buy-
 ing his position, is forced to accept him
with it, determines to bury himself in
the writing of a novel, in the vain hope
of forgetting.  At the same time he
elects to keep a secret journal. In his
novel he subconsciously draws the
portraits of the living people surround-
ing him.
How this novel becomes inextricably
entangled with his own journal is the
basis for this extraordinarily original
story which leads to an astounding
climax.
