dint of loving care and patience, is responsilile for his final triumph o er himself and hostile forces. The author has divided his stud} ' of temperament into three olumes. The first of these observations upon life, The Early History of Jacob .Stahl, tills one with enthusiasm; the second, A Candidate for Truth, arid, by the way, a remarkable bit of psychology, is inclined to leave rather a bad taste in one ' s mouth, while the third, The Inxisible Event, satisfies entirely. The trilogy is probably one of the finest that the school of realism has yet produced since Romaine Rolland ' s Jean Christophc. Concentrating upon the commonplace feelings and happenings of life, Mr. Beresford has given us human nature as it reallv is, without attempting to heroize his characters, nor to translate them into terms of his own temperament.

Books V PETER WESCOTT RIDES THE LION XX Fortitude Hugh Walpole has given us a magnificent study of human nature. His character, Peter Wescott, shows the secret of Success, the ke}- to Self-Respect, the path to Peace, and all in the fighting slogan, ' Tis not life that matters, but the courage you bring to it. Once the girl he loved showed to Peter Wescott the photograph of a man who rode upon a lion. This lion was a struggling brute of enormous size, and yet the man was his master by sheer force of energy and iron determination. Something of that man ' s face, the scars of struggle and long sufifering, brought to Peter a sense of overpowering awe — awe, and a vague unrest. Xot until many years later, when he had completed the full circle of his lift , did the significance of that struggle as a symbol of his own existence present itself to him. And a great peace visited the soul of Peter, for then he knew that in his battle against Loss and Sorrow, bitter Disillusionment and humiliating Failure, he had won. And, lo, the face of the rider was his own ! Blessed be Pain and every Torture of the Body Blessed be Loss and the Failure of Friends and the Sacrifice of Love Blessed be the Destruction of Possession and the Disappointment of Ambi- tion Blessed be all Sorrows, Torments, Hardships, Endurances that demand Courage Blessed be these things . . , . for of these things cometh the making of a Man. THE LIGHT THAT DID NOT FAIL Once upon a time, a tiny spark fell from some glowing ember — fell and lighted alone upon the hard, cold earth. Aided by kindly breezes, this tiny spark became a small but brightly burning flame. Soon, however, strong air currents and forceful, gustv winds oxerpowered the little flame — it flickered, wa ered, and almost died out. But, coming to its rescue, a pair of loving hands protected and sheltered it, fanning it gently. And lo, the feeble flame increased in strength, burned more steadily, and blazed into brilliant fire, meeting cold winds in defiance, and glorying in its triumph ! In Jacob Stahl — . Man of the Real Today, J. E. Beresford has created a being oddly like unto that flickering flame — a weakly, wavering soul, handicapped by self-depreciation and lack of initiative, overcome by the strong wills of others, and unable to throw back his head and laugh in the face of defeat. Unfortunate influences have entered his life — Madeline, the glorious sinner; Lola, his first wife, a bit of clinging poisonous ivy, and the shallow hypocrite, Reverend Cecil Barker. However.
