How Does the Novel Man Know?

1ow Does the Novel Man know7
WHEN Mr.. Kipling's Ung drew
w the mammoth and aurochs
with a certain assumption of in
timacy, the Neolithic public hummed
and hawed over the drawings:
Yea, they are like-and it may be
but how does the picture man
know" How does the novel man
know. Is he god that he should
be able to patter off all that is going
on behind the inscrutable depths of
the heroine's violet eyes as well as
the slighter screen of the hero's fair
mustache? Novelist after novelist
seems to have set out on the road
with no fear, at first, of having
these nasty questions to meet.
Thackeray at thes start poked into
every characters mind just as he-
liked. Later on he grew rather
nervous. He made for that ap-

manner. Relinquishing the ques-
tionable right to "go behind" any,

he acquired lawful and unlimited
access to the mind of the Colonel.
Every revelation made in the course
OF the story was now accountable;
something inside the story itself
made it credible. To use Mr.. Percy
Lubbock's excellent technical terms.
Thackeray had now got the point
OF view into the book; he had
"dramatized the seeing eye;;" he had
made objective the mind that
knew the whole story instead of
leaving it somewhere outside, as it
is in Vanity Fair" The picture
on the screen had somehow swal-

Memories in Samoa.

TT may indeed seem a long re-
L move from the stern Scottish
Covenanters to the gay romantic
novelist: from John Stevenson,
sleeping in Old Daily Kirk-yard,
to "Tusitala," laid to rest on the
summit of Pacific peak; but at
the very core of things there is a
closer likeness than might be sup
posed. Although centuries of time
and worlds of thought apart, the
nearer one gets to the hearts life
of these two Scotsmen, the more
heroic is the character, the simpler
and clearer the vision. Even in far
away Samoa Steyenson's mind
turned oftentime to the land that
gave him birth, and to the brave
men of the past whose nobility he
justly appraised, and whose works
have left an impress on his own
mastery style. In his pathetic exile
he recalled the scenes that are so
rich in memories of other days:
"Grey recumbent tombs of the
dead in desert places,
Standing stones on the vacant,
wine-red moor,
Hills of sheep, and homes of the
silent, vanished races,
And winds austere and pure"

Corendnters," by Hugh Rodgers

worthy reason. From his earliest
days, when under the tutelage of
his beloved "Cummie," young Stev-

literature of the Covenant; and
all through the wanderings that led
him so far away, mentally as we'll
