Their Descent Traced from Adam.

Popular interest in Albert Judson Fisher’s unique love story, ”A Daughter of Adam,” in The Ladies* Home Journal has been increased tenfold since it became known that the genealogical part of tne story is not fie- ■ tion, but fact. Not only is the marvelous line of descent, traced through 121 generations from Adaip and Eve, absolutely genuine, but also the family names of the characters are the names of real people, for the line is actually that of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith Sargent, of Chicago, and Mrs. Sargent was formerly Miss Frances Moore, of Warren, Rhode Island. Even stranger still is that fact that, as shown in the story, Mr. ana Mrs. Sar- * gent had the same ancestor eight generations back.
