Can Such Things Be?"
By DOROTHY SCARBOROUGH.

u ON & LIvERlGIIT are rendering
~ genuine service to American letters
by their republication of the works Of
Ambrose Biercc. They have recently is
sued Cos Such Things Be- following In
the Midst Of Life, that appeared short
while ago. Ambrose Bierce is slowly
coming into the recognition nc so richly
deserves, yet which he never received dur
ing his lifetime. There have all along
been a discerning few who appreciated
him, yet he was not generally known.
This was doubtless due 10 the fact that
his books were brought out by small firms
which did not widely advertise, so that
the public never really had fair chance
before to become acquainted with him.
Now the chance is here.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-03-02

in tales Of mystery aud horror, in
stories of terrible awe, Ambrose Bierce
ranks next to Poe. He knows a subtle
refinement of spiritual mystery as well as
a brutality of horror that at times is sick
ening. He has touched upon more as
poets OF the weird Chan any other writer
of English, save perhaps that tireless sn-
pcrnaturalist Agrrnon Hardwood, and
Bierce's stories seem 10 be dragged re-
luctantly from tho depths Of the mans
soul as is not tie case with BlackwoUd's
iluent productions, c'evrr as they are.
BiCrcc knows the mtricacics of the
dream life, of dreams Within dreams that
seem actual. He reveals the inexpiicablc
rapport between persons closely related,
between mother and child for example, as
in the pathetic story The Baby Tramp,
where the little child toddles weary miles
upon miles TO die on his mothers grave.
"The grave, however, had not opened to
receive him. That is circumstance which,

40 forth. He shows ph4ntasms Of The iv-
ing and I'll manner of curious hallucina-
tons with an Oriental jugglory of words.
He describes environments as SO affected
By strong personalities as to yield, long
afterward, images of those being on ID"
eyes Of others. He peoples our world
with strange spirits, so that life is never
quite the same after we have read his
stories.
Ambrose Biercc has gifts Of sty,, as
well as Of unusual literary material. lie
knows, as few Of our writers do, how 70
"ordense, how TO tell = short story. HIS
manner partakes more of tLe French in
that respect, as in his effect of dctach-
ment, OF effectiveness of method Some
of his stories, il must be even recalled

which bear resemblance to them.

Tie truth is that there are two types OF Scnsa-
tionalronaDce between which our wilder st nsation-
asts seem to waver; and think they generally
at their strongest in dealing with the first type and
at their weakest in dealing with the second. For
the sake of convenient symbol | may call them
respectively the romance of the yellow; Room and
the romance Of the Yellow Peril.
We might say that the great detective story deals
with small things while the small silly detective
story generally deals with great things Ii deals
with diabolical dipomatists darting about between
Vienna and Paris and Petrograd with vast cosIo-
pOlitan cOnspracies ramifying through all the
cellars of Europe worse and most widespread Of

which call for convenience here the Yellow Peril.
