NEW FALL FICTION, 1909
DARLEY ROBERTS has learned the uses of power from the viewpoint of the under dog, and the symbol of the power he seeks and gains gives its title to "The Dominant Dollar." But the dollar is here the outward sign only, and the story is not the usual one of the self-made man but of the man who does the making. Roberts' room-mate is Steven Armstrong, professor in a small university aspiring author, and accepted lover of Elice Gleason. He lacks the contact with the harder realities of life which has moulded Roberts. The letter, too, falls in love with Elice, but does not wear his heart upon his sleeve. The scene of the story is a college town of the Middle West. Roberts' strength, Armstrong's weakness, and the sense of duty of Elice, make it a tale of unusual interest in which character dominates, but in which the plot takes an inevitably dramatic course.
