The common custom of that part
of the world which calls itself civil
lied is to seclude its choicest art prod
ucts in museums and galleries, where
they are seen only by the small pro.
portion Of people willing to go out
of their way and to spend time and
money in visiting them Japan and
some other countries, which, accord
ing to prevailing Anglo-Saxon ideas,
have not yet fully emerged from a
state barbarism, have made art a
part of the common life, SO that even
the humblest citizen is familiar with
beautiful handwork. 1t has occurred
to some leaders of thought in Den
mark that acquaintance with artistic
achievements should belong to the
general education, and to that end
a plan is being developed for display
ing the work of Danish railroad sta
tons. If the scheme materializes it
Will be interesting to watch results
AT least the public will learn to know
what artists are doing, and if it is
really true that art, hung on the walls
is educative and uplifting, then PEG
pie will derive a benefit they do not
get from museums.

CHAPTER XXI.

The Secret Staircase.
We trust him to help US in our diff
ficulties."
Those were the words Helena had
spoken; she trusted me, who had been
called coward, to accomplish what the
cleverest and bravest man must have
hesitated at promising. For one can
not promise with reason to attempt
successfully the unknown. It was the
vagueness of my mission that made
it so perplexing.
One cannot tear apart lover from
lover as one tears a piece of paper.
And yet, If Sir Mortimer were living
and still enamored of his mistress, I
had promised to attempt even that.
If, on the other hand, Sir Mortimer
were dead, was to essay duty even
more difficult: to rescue his great
name from dishonor.
Before midnight, then, there were
two things to be accomplished: I
must know the truth from Madame de
Varnier concerning Sir Mortimer
Brett, whether he were living or dead:
1 must rescue Captain Forbes.
1t was to be double duel. The first

cannot wear old clothes at all these
days, but must give them away. The
gain is perceptible to the receivers, fof
these rejected garments do not get
much worn before they are out of
date, and, after all, the family labora-

Literary Criticism.

Mr.. Shan F. Bullock complains that
literary criticism is becoming namby-
pamby. "Considerateness" is the
prevailing fashion in it, One English
journal, noted for it's trenchant re-
views of books, was rebuked for its
f1arshness the other day by a brother
editor, who innoeently observed that
the publishers would soon cease send
ing volumes for notice, if nicer things
were not said about them. Critics
must be "considerate." This is vari-
ant of the old phrase to the effect that
they must be constructive" Honest
by interpreted, that meant that the au-
thor must be coddled, not told OF his
faults; and that the public must be
fed on sugar-plums, not warned OF
impure or indigestible food. Consider
ateness, as Mr.. Bullock remarks, is
most excellent thing. We ought all
to be as kind as we can. But there
are higher virtues, sterner obliga-
tions. One of them is to be sincere
And If a critic feels that he is set
for the defense of the truth, and has
a literary standard to maintain, in
stead of merely making himself bait
for advertisements, he will often dis
cover that the truest kindness is to
be severe. The older and more saw
age criticism may have sometimes
been unfair, but at any rate it was
never insipid or dull. This, says the
New York Post, cannot be said of the
new style of "considerate" criticism.
1t may create new geniuses every
week, out of the most unpromising
material, and may note the appear
ance of 20 masterpieces in a single
publishing season, but it certainly
does cloy one. 1t makes many of us
look back, with Mr.. Bullock, longing
ly'' to the old "ramping days of Hen
ley" the roaring Nineties," when
the artists of the rapier and the
bludgeon had their way"

Frankly, did not look forward to

of Captain Forbes pointed too obvious
