service between them. They stayed in
the porters quarters; and as soon as
the bell was heard they had only to

typical dinner, "the meal looked like

the ancient type of Oriental story
teller. He is a slkilful chronicler of
events, painter of external scenes. He
epplies the same we'll tested method to
all phases of life.
The war intrudes on the melodrama
with it's antique duels in grotesque
contrast to the general slaughter. In
the final pages are many laudatory
passages about America, the natior
that fights well abroad and is good to
novelists who come here a-visiting.
For example: "A people has just
risen above all the peoples of the

rise been known. 1t dominates through

says M. Boulenger, took place at Mar

circling about both of them after q
lifetime of distrust, ingratitude and
battle against England, Spain, the
Professionals and their own conspiring
courtiers. The King was i'll
and had himself carried to the chamber
In which the Cardinal lay in bed; the
King was thoroughly ashamed of his
own ingratitude. and the Minister had
hardly recovered from the state of anx-
fety into which he had been thrown:
