The Cad Fly.

The Gsd Fly.
To read book that the critics have
called great and wonderful and to
ind 1t tiresome and meaningless is an
indication that ones literary evOlu.
ton has not proceeded very far.
Nevertheless 1t Is better to admit
that one Is not on speaking terms
even with Shakspere than to claim an
intimacy and admiration which does
not exist. After thirty years de-
voted more to reading than to any
thing else, even the humblest is
likely to have a modest respect for
his own literary taste and Judgment.
And this self-respect does not wait
orany publishers or critics confir.
nation. On the contrary. it survives
the critics denial Of its existence and
the publishers scornful cOntumely.
To the OmnivOrOus and interchangeable
reader In middle life his own literary
Judgment Is indisputable and final.
He cannot be convinced that a book
he Ands tiresome and pointless is
inspired. This is, Of course, not ad.
hitting that indefatigability and
will produce, In time,
a correct taste. The liking for all
sorts OF literature and non literature

as the latter, and
literary distsste is no easier to argue
away and ignore than the one the
palate pSesides over.
Tn CAD Fly Is the story Of man
whom the author tells you over and
over again is brilliant. witty, original
yet the bUek records not . wise or
witty saying OF hts and hts conduct Is
uncommODly stupid. The other
characters whOm she calls malicious
and wicked do nothing wrong and say
0Oshtng remarkably silly. Rivarez,
the hero. Is such an egOtistic zany
that his sister-in-law dislikes him,
and she would be freak sister-fn-law
II she did not. The hero is the H.
legitimate son Of priest who is the
real hero in spite Of his sin for which
he has done pennance and been long
since forgiven. Montanelli, the
priest, 10 clever, wise, generous. low.
ing. He has brought up his son with
an extra solicitude. He is willing to
relinquish cardinals place, IL his
son, who does not know Of the rela-
tionship. desire It. But when the son
finds out that the priest has not told
him all the truth he writes a cruel,
hateful letter and goes to drown him.
self and II he had succeeded, the rest
Of the story would not have been
written and that would have been
worth life, like the hero's. Instead
he hides on board a ship bound for
South America and is beaten and
maltreated by the people the fool
killer hires to slaughter fools. He re-
appears on Mrs. Voynich's pages, a
cripple from his South American ex.
periences. He has acquired reputa.
tiOn which is as mysterious as the
wealth which accompanies his ad.
vent. The author does not explain
where he got either and he does moth.
ing to earn an honest living or to
justify the reputation, which Mrs.
VOynich adorns him with. Finally
he is imprisoned for being a revolu.
tionary and meets the cardinal, his
father. He tortures him and pro.
poses an impossible and futile repara.
tion like the selfish cad he is. The
sanity old Cardinal refuses though
his tender heart Is torn by the suffer.
ings Of his son who had accomplished
his own fate and who died happy be.
cause he fancied it was a martyrs
death and he had played that role all
his life.
The Cad Fly Is one Of those books,
may their tribe decrease!-with a
suspended situation. You who have
not read 1t, will read it, expecting,
continually, to come upon a situation
wherein the hero will do something
to justify the authors praise and his
star role. Something impends from
the beginning to the end OF the book
and the hero gets more and more
nauseating and self-conscious till his
hnal execution, which is the only
pleasant thing we have to look back
upon. Egotists such as Rivarez, who
continually look in upon themselves
and fancy themselves entitled to bet.
ter treatment In the world than they
get, who revenge fortunes buffets by
crucifying those who really love them,
are unfortunately common enough,
but, for mercy's sake, let us not make
heros or heroines out of them. Every
little kitchen maid whose innocent
heart Is glad because the family we're
pleased to be pleased with her bis.
