lard and .Heloise OF these six have been
already printed in the Cosmopolitan Maya
zine, and two, the stories of Keats and
Fanny Brawne and of Abelard and Heoise
now appear for the first time. The stories
are retold in a spirit of shrewd analysis.
The author draws lines of distinction be-
tween the real relations of these people
and the poetic concepts of their intercourse.
He finds that not only was the flesh weak
at times, but that the fire of genius seemed
to have blinded the eyes of these poetic
lovers especially the men. For In some in
stances the women whom they set their
hearts were far from being remarkable for
any of the virtues even for their per-
sonal beauty. All of which goes to prove
that there is absolutely no accounting for
the grand passion, after all.

Mr.. Haggard has lost none of his power
to please the reader who wants plenty or
excitement in his fiction good, hard hgnt-

to be found all of the qualities that gave
him his strong hold upon the attention or
large following some years ago. but there
is a certain new note in his work, the note
of a subter meaning than was to be dis
cerned in the past romances by him. Here
is the tale of two brothers who loved their
cousin Rosamund with Supplemented thor
oughness, with the knightly devotion OF the
olden days when men went forth to tight

more than passing interest as product OF
this prolific pen.
Tolstoy's dramatic method is typical Of
all his other work, direct, forceful and UNI
compromising. His characters are clearly
defined and afford types of the Russian
people whose likeness to life cannot be
questioned. In scores of little ways the au-
thor exposes the weaknesses of his coun-
trymen. In some respects there Is dis
tinct suggestion of the qualities which mark
Ibsen's work. The sensibilities of the spec
tator or reader are never considered. the
story is there to be told, and it is told with
the greatest possible effect with the nearest
approximation to real life. The transia-
ton Is well done. Mr.. Maude has caugnL

So the story moves from England to Syria,
into the mountain fortress of the dread
Sheik Jebal, ruler over that abominable
crew known the ASSaSSinS, thence
to the court of Saladin, all with swift ac-
ton and never ceasing interest. Mr.. Hag-
gard acknowledges in his dedication to his
sister that in life things might have hap
pened differently, leading to other ends,
but he holds that ina gination has few finer
qualities, and none perhaps more helpful
to the heart. than those which enable us to
dream for an hour that men and women,
their fortunes and their fate, as We
would fashion them. He has strongly and
effectively contrasted the utter baseness of
traitors and boodthrsty men with the gen.
tleness and fidelity of true women and the
manlness and virtue of the brethren who
follow Rosamund into the forbidding east
to rescue her.

real and human. Mr.. LIE Caffeine has
chosen eight of these romantic attach

upon them, not with any consecutive

to give new view OF the old and more or
