ton; living corpses physically and
mentally. All of them must, step by
step, gradually sink down to the bot
tom of life whence there is no return.
They are condemned thereto by a
cruel fate; and in completing his
study Of them the author comes to
the conclusion that he would rather
choose the life of a savage than the
life Of these outcasts in Christian
London. There is no hope for these
benighted machine slaves. They do
not feel their shackles. What can
we expect from them?
True, here and there isolated indi-
viduals manage to break away from
this thraldom. They perceive the
truth, the causes of their baneful
plight, the wherefore of their down
ward course and begin to struggle for
their emancipation. There are strong
personalities who possess indomitable
wills. But they are isolated aud must
succumb to the inevitable. Such an
individual is Martin Eden" a great

descends from civilized Europeans, is
changed into wild beast, when neces-
sity compels him to live together
with the dog. Battar, son Of the large
forest wolf. They both fight with each
other in a manner that renders it diff
ticult to distinguish between Leclaire
and Battar.
Why is this so? The answer is
plain. In Konovalov, the man is al
ways predominant, even when he
finds himself in bestial company, and
in Leclaire the beast is uppermost,
in spite of his being overflled with
civilization. In the former the man
may be partly disguised, but at the
first opportunity he energies to the
surface. In the latter the beast is
masked and bounds forth when the
mask becomes unnecessary.
Thus artistically conceiving man, it
is not surprising that London was par
ticularly fond of portraying animals.
In this respect he is one of the most
remarkable writer's of fiction, and ma
turally 1.-THE Call of the Wild" ranks

We have here a mastery description
of the psychic processes Of the dog
Buck, how the new surroundings in
the gold mines of Alaska aroused
in him extraordinary ferocity and
what dreadful strength he thereby
reveals. Properly speaking. Buck is
merely a symbol of bestial men. In
this we see the qualities of London's
talent. He seems to apply his best
colors to the extraordinary, the clum-
sy the beastly in life, while Gorky
reveals the refined, the delicate, the
truly human.
Particularly characteristic of both
these literateurs is their portrayal Of
proletarian life with which they were
so familiar.
In "The People of the Abyss" Lon
don paints a grandiose. vivid but most
depressing picture OF the workers
lives in London Town. There is not a
single ray of light to relieve the
gloom. All the people here described
are veritable automata, devoid OF Will

working class, he breaks thru the un-
yielding wall of life, develops literary
talent and engages in a combat with
the bourgeois world. In the end he is
exhausted and commits suicide. He
cannot overcome the adverse sur
roundings and fails to infuse light
and hope into the dark slums in which
he was reared because he is not
united with others, not realizing the
necessity therefore, and thus overes-
timating his powers.
In his novel, 1.-THE Mother" Gorky
similarly gives us remarkable picture
of proletarian life in a small Rus
sian factory town. We see here no
less poverty and squalor than in the
metropolis of the world; the same
exploitation, the same drudgery; but
the picture does not terrify and de-
press us so much. The solitary strong
personalities, as Paul and his mother
manage to infuse into the benighted
lives Of the machine slaves SO much

they do not overestimate their pow

1t 1DGs a distinct shock to

day that his daughter, ChicEcis,
tOGs no longer a gGsOky, lG1pky

had to blink sharply-make her
eyes steady.
So Mary didn't go out with
them any more. Chickie found
her in the late afternoons sit
ting in the living room, her feet
on a chair, the sun streaming
over her shoulder. She read q
great deal-boOks that Edward
brought.
"I love to sit here and dream"
she said, folding her hands as
though she never intended to stir
again.
Chickie was weighted down
with Mary's impressive Quietude.
Often when she found Mary
moving about with such heavy
effort she said, "Oh, sit here,
Mary, I'll throw the things on
the stove And she dashed
about getting Mary's dinner. feel,

ing In each buoyant, elastic step.
Oh, it was good to be dashing
along light and slim like this
free as the sweet, breezing air.
She no longer dreamed of herself
setting blue dishes on a table for
two.
Jimmy brought her back with
q wrench to deeper thoughts.
He came over one night in a
high state Of suppressed excite
ment. He blurted out: what
do you think. Chickie-I'm off

and a pang caught her heart.

He was standing, holding her
hands, looking into her face!
''No-they're putting UP q new
cannery-I'm going down to give
it the once over. Say, that's
a trip, Chickie--a whole month
there-Say, what about it-well?"
He waited-waited with his
eyes pulling her like hooks.
Her lips began to tw1tch.
Jimmy dropped her hands.
Well" he said with his
back half turned. "I'n come
in again" He went hurryink
down the hall. She stood mo-
tionless. It seemed as though
her pulses all were sti!led.
Jimmy closed the door softly.
She felt that a moment holy
and terrible had come to her.
1t was passed now and might
never come like that again.

NOW CONTINUE.

II didn't last. There came a
night when Mary wouldn't go to
the show, though Jimmy had the
four tickets. This happened
twice. Chickie, dropping in one
afternoon. urged impatiently:
"Oh, why don't you come, Mary
why, you just want to stick
around here and do nothing!" .
Mary had drawn a chair over
90 the sink and was sitting there
heavily, slicing tomatoes for a
salad.

going to begin and spoil every
thing
Mary's face turned scarlet. 81

mot equal to going to a show"
Then Chiclie stopped, for. Mary'S
eyes had suddenly filled. Her lips
were trembling. Chiclzie stood
there and stared. All at once her
heart began to pound-pound
madly-sent q queer holiness stiff
ling through her.
She saw Mary's eyes asserting
and she whispered, frightened,
"Oh, Mary, so soon," and couldn't
say another word because her
throat got dry and tight.
Mary laughed nervously, took
up her knife. 1T thought you
guessed it long ago. It's not so
soon. Why, don't stand there
crying about 1t! I'm glad"
For long while Chic11iO
couldn't speak. Then she came
over and leaned on the sink
board. Honestly, are you glad,
Mary? Oh, 1 can't believe that"
"Well, you don't know, Chichie,
But I mean tit may seem
hard and all that don't care"
Chicllie could see a strained
white line about Mary's lips.
Her own heart felt like that.
She managed to say, with q little
high pitched laugh, "Oh. well;
then it's all right, I suppose"
But she found it hard to breathe.
She wanted to hurry way-not
look at Mary.

ut can't hurt you to go.
You're nobody's fool, are you?
Oh, Chickie-you might as well
take few pleasures while you
can. You'll be settling down.
It's in the cards for you."
Mary smiled wistfully! ''It
wouldn't surprise me a bit If that
man marries you within month.
He's old, isn't he-you're just the
type a man like that falls for.

head. brushing aside the vague

into her mind, twittering there,

heated; her heart swelled out
half bursting.
As she got off the car. Jimmy

stood awkwardly as though he

say, yet remained silent, his eyes
reaching out to her like gestures

She laughed uneasily: Jimmy,

Then, how about tonight?
Why don't you come out with me
tonight"
Oh, you always ask me the
wrong time. I can't tonight. To-
morrow or Monday-any other
night. She wouldn't meet
the hurt, eager look of him.
She went into the house half
ready to cry. She would ring up
that Janina-break her old date.
She paused. She went into her
room and stealthily took out the
