THE PURSUIT OF A HEROINE.

Time was when the morals of his
sideration. He realized that to fill the
role adequately not only must she be
like Caesars wife, above suspicion, but
that her goodness must be of the SUI
perlative and assertiye kind that pro-
claimed itself on every page and made
the gentle reader conscious always of
the unworthiness of the hero. But
times have changed, and heroines with
them. Neither the heroine's morals
nor her beauty concerns the novelist
any more. Provided she be Of the I'M
conventional type, he makes no fur
Their demand. He is content to rely on
her unconventionality alone to charm
his readers. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that these latter day heroines
represent a queer assortment.
One Of the newest is the most re-
markable of all and she promises to
have a great vogue. She is a thief and
rather glories in her skill. The novelist
out of her. She presents her to the
reading public for what she is worth
and she bids fair to be worth great
deal For this thieving heroine is
beautiful and Iovable and clever, and
whether we approve of her or not we
cannot help liking her. We are in a
perpetual ferment for fear she will be
caught during one Of her thieving esca-
pades; and when finally she steals a
document, the possession of which per-
mits her to settle down in peace and
aff1uence with the man she loves, We
close the book with that pleasant feel
ing which happy ending invariably
inspires.
To what extreme the novelist will yet
go in his pursuit of a heroine it is diff
cult to surmise. But it is not probable
that he will be content to stop with
thief 1t would not be at all remark
able, indeed, if the reading public
found itself in the near future follow
ing with sympathy the exciting his
tory of a heroine given to murder, and
of rejoicing with her when a particu-
larly successful crime wins for her the
man she loves Of course the reading
public will need a little more education
before it can be expected to accept
such a heroine without demur. The
murderous heroine will have to be ap-
preached by easy stages. But it is not
preposterous to predict that one day
she will appear. One thing is certain,
however. When she does appear, re-
action will undoubtedly set it. The
reading public will demand that the
| heroine be replaced on her pedestal.
1t will do this through a sense of JUS
tice to the hero.
For the heroine is the hero's reward
Of merit for being always brave and
| honorable and true. He deserves the
| best, and the best surely is not Julie
| who plans an elopement with another
| man or a Nance Olden who picks pock-
cts. The reading public may admire
both, but deep down in its heart it
knows that the hero stands better
chance of happiness with a heroine of
the d-fashioned Amelia type, and it
will demand that such heroine be

The fear of burial alive has
prompted the Massachusetts Leg.
islature to consider bill for the
prevention of that accident. This
is regretable because it makes the

The danger of one being buried
alive is so slight that it should not
be considered. The sensational
stories which appear in the secu-
lar press and which have given
rise to the morbid fear have sell
dom any basis of fact. The com

there would not be air in the coffin
