AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Christmas Eve in San Francisco reminds an English ex-army officer of former years; of his battles against the Russians and his despair when on his return to England his fiancee breaks off their engagement. A child begging alms touches his heart and in visiting his house discovers his former love on her death bed. Pathos; competent. (PB)
