M.itcment that he does not ib slro to lay
undue rmphnsls upon the litotal quality
of llctlon, because, in his onlnlon, it Is not
of supreme importince Possibly, however,
miny may lie iceonelleil to this opinion
nfter rt-idlntr Its t,J.pIanntion
A novel, or story or nny Mini, he asert,
la a work of art, uml therefore, though
It ntiy mrlilentally inlluence or teach, it
exists prlni.il lly to please. Plcisuro Is the
.-nil of all art, ana In the nrt of tlction the
jnenni to that end Is representation Hit
representation of human life as it tnlrrois
Itself on the mind of the nrtM.
Now the pb.isurp Riven by nnv repre
FPntatlon of a familiar object (and life Is,
of course, familiar to us nil) consists
larijely in our own recocnltloti of rcem
lilance In the represent ition to the thine
represented. The new Iktion of sexuallt

unpcakably rexoltltiK, oecasloially It Is
nllled with inoralllnp; as agitresotie as thut
of n Sunday school book, but per where
It Is a lliiRrnnt violation of the obvious pro
portion of life. , ,

tni tliod of the new- tlction is considered as
ludicrously in trtlstlr, but the lark of In
artistic truth In this hind of llctlon Is not
the only charse brought against it. It ex
lilhlts a still more remarkable laik of those
jniibnPlPS and reticent les which, whether

in tho earliest developments of

"licyond the Dreams of Avarice" This
newest novel by Walter Hesnnt, which has
tieen wrlttin about at lengthi In these col
umns, continues to attract tnanv readers
mil to be mm h talked about It Is a ro
mnnre of Intestacy, and possesses the
great merit that there Is nothing Intrinsic
ally Improbable In any of the circumstan
ces of the case. It Is. in short, a story
vvhl'h might very well come to he pro
duced on the stage of real life, and many
of the grotesque and pathetic episodes In
which It abounds would then inevitably
llnd their counterpart In fact Nothing Is
better in the book thnn the skill with
which the author traces the gradual in
roads of the atiri sacra fames on the chnr
acter of his hero The heroine Is certainly
one of the most attractive ty pes of woman
hood that Mr. lies int has ever conceived,
the varluits claim ints are happllv con
trasted nnd clevirly drawn, nnd the nt
tlluile of the press In the matter Is de
si ribed with not a little quiet humor nnd
good mturisl satire In point of style, Mr
llesant leaves a good tleal to be eleslred in
his present ventute, but If his in inner
lacks distinction. It Is at least free from
thu vices of affection or extt.avagance.

Into suburban literature. Not that many
arrive within the gates nf the Hternnl City
itself, for straight is the gate and narrow
is the w.iv-, and few there be that enter in.
l'or the most part tho llter.irv product of
the pressman Is a sort of glorltld Journal
ism, which oftimes bedecks Itself with the
borrowed plumes of literature It cannot
well be otherwise where there Is
No leisure to grow wise,
Net shelter to grow- ripe.
The tranquillity and solitude which nre
essential to art are withheld from the
hnrd-wotklng Journalist, and It Is- seldom
th it he has self-denial to forego the ex
igencies and temptations of his profession
to devote himself to better work, even
when he is cot tldent of his own ability
"Men Horn Hqual," however, must take
rank In this c itcgory- with distinction.
It is a story that shows thought, tact
and an appreciation of the value of tillles
whiih go to make- up a whole, nnd for a
llret story bv one who has been trained
as a Journalist and who has had to deal
with fnts In a far different way. the book
Is sure to bu accepted as a success.
