NOTES.

A unique contribution 10 literature,
q model Of succinct expression, Is a
hitherto imprinted epltome Of Wonders
''Lucifer," the great choral poem that
Mr.. Leonard Charles van Noppen has
done US a lasting service In transplant
ing. The new and more economical
version OF Lucifer's rebellion was made
by precocious and appreciative young
savant OF ten. Mr., Spencer Acheson OF
Washington, and omits no really sas
lent point In the drama. More than
year ago visitor to the Acheson
home was reading Mr.. van Noppen's
translation aloud and Spencer called
forth gentle derision by his unfailing
interest In what was so obviously be-
yond HIS mental grasp. The visitor az
length departed, with her the book. and
all mention Of Vondel and Lucifer was
dropped until the ladys return 10
Washington a few weeks ago. Spencer,
who had now reached his tenth birth
day, was the first 10 refer 20 the poem,
and shortly after the visitors arrival
ne withdrew 20 the library, 10 set down
for her the impressions he had retained
during her absence. This Is the re-
suit:
ACHEsoNs "LUCIFER,"
Beclzebub-
What Is II hear thee say?
God Is not against thee.
Lucifer do not be wroth with God. He
II not against thee.
Lucifer-
know well he Is not. But who is 1t
he is going
To place upon the throne
Beside him? II belongs 10 us.
Belial--
Luclfer thou art wicked.
The crown. the sceptre. and the throne
belongs TO him.
Gabriel
Yes. advise you not to be wroih with
God.
Luclfer--
God is not true to US There is some
thing up.
Uriel-
What thou sayest IL not heard by us.
But by God who tells us what thou
sayest.
Michael
Lucifer, thou art a wicked being.
90 thy way.
Rafael
Yes. 60 thy way
We dearest thou not.
Apollion-
God lowest thee not.
Luclfer--
care not, my mind is set upon one
thing and that is TO have a bat
tie.
Oh, oh, they all shrieked.
The last line recalls the Holy. holy"
,horus Of the angels In the "Lucifer'

narkable and delicious exposition Of

Ships That Pass In The Night II shows
az even that romance aid not. the sac
rlflces that grow out OF the situation
and the sympathy that Is awakened In
the hardest OF hearts Several little
love stories grow up even In this allen
environment, and touched with pathos
as some Of them are. they have deli
cacy and warmth when atone for the
sadness In fact, a popularity OF the
book is that In spite OF the sombre
background and the tragic situation,
there Ia an atmosphere Of cheer and
happiness which IL rarely found even
outside resort for lnyalids. The story
has the same sympathy and tender
ness which characterize Miss Harra-
den's success and II promises to be re-
celyed with the same enthusiasm.

Mr. r. V. Risley, whose MEMS
Tragedies" published last year Is
strong enough 10 be still unfOrgotten,
has written trilogy Of novels to be
known as 1.-THE Sledge," THE Anvil
and THE Candle respectively. The
first is to be published immedl-
ately, and the others are TO fol-
low shortly Whatever else may
be Characteristic OF Mr. Risley's
work, there is certain assurance OF
power. / quite from the Literary Re-
view. which in turn quotes from "The
Anvil" these brave words, which go
far toward explaining the Intention Of
the trilogy: "All strong men have one
or more OF three qualties-the candle,
the sledge and the anvil Some men
illuminate. They are beacons. Their
minds see ahead, beyond, around the
ideals. They understand. They flare
and rout the shadows In the valleys
and their reflection Is on the mountain
tops. Some men are force. They heave
and smite and bang their will on the
world. They dare. They are not men,
tai towards Their self is powerful
And some men are anvis They bear
The world may batter them how II WILL
but they endure. They are true TO
their levels. A strong man has at
least one Of these qualitles a powerful
man has two. A great man has all
three. Now, my friend. | give
YOU the anvil. You have always been
lonely. You are Saint Simeon Stylltes.
For you, with your dreams: for you,
with your solitary and high standards:
for you with your piteous. sublime in
divldualness--fo you. | say, there can
never be any more what we call con-
tent "A. Stand and be true to your
Ideals | give you the anvil Learn
to be IT."

Of books published In the United States
