THE MODERN NOTE
1t Is Not Sentiment, but Bravery
with n Dash of HumOr.

According to the modern notion, d
man should be something of an artist
in life. He should at least appear to
play his part easily, with dash and
gusto, like the acrobat who performs
each dangerous feat smiling. This is
la panache, the feather in the cap OF
courage-brayery with humor added.
1t is the spirit In which Lungtungpen
was taken, in which Cyrano composed
his ballade while he fought duel, fof
Cyrano and Alan Breck, no less than
Mulvaney and Sherlock Holmes. are
very modern heroes.
Stevenson's whole life was one long
devotion to this ideal. He carried his
i'll health and penury brayely and wit
tily into far corners of the earth
through many strange adventures. As
he wrote to William Archer: THE
medicine bottles ON my chimney and
the blood on my handkerchief are acct
dents. They do not exist in my pros
pect."
The melodramatic gloom of Byron,
the laehrymose pathos of Dickens and
the shallow sentimentality of Thack-
cray touch the source of our tears less
surely than the sheer gay heartedness
and courage in the face of disease, diff
ticulty or danger. This is the modern
note clever woman told me that
every young man of her acquaintance
when he reached a certain degree Of in
timaey, quoted these lines of Henley's:
Under the bludgeonings OF chance
Ny head is bloody. but unbowed.

The child. The priest or astrologer
