-----
Many plays have been made from novels; this is a book made from a play. The Carpetbagger origin ally was written as a four-act comedy. It was performed for thirty weeks during the theatrical season of 1898-9, underthe intelligent management of Mr. Tim Murphy, and met with a most flattering reception. There have been so many requests for the preservation of this story in permanent form, that_ we have been led to publish it as a novel, and the result is before you.
