It was the private opinion of His Britannic
Majesty (Jcorgo ihc Third, communicated to the
fair author of ? Evelina," that ? there -was sad
stuff in Shakespeare." So far His Majesty wa*
entirely respectable. It might lie lils misfortune)
that he could not admire the Hard of Avon, hut it
?srae creditable to him that he should maintain his
own opinion. But he did not long continue to i
deserve- even this credit, for he proceeded: "1 j
know it is not to lie said, but it's true. Only it's ;
Shakes'icare, and nobody dare abuse him." The
human inclination to hero-worship has suffered no
decline since those daya, aud if nt present the I
world allows Shakesjiearc to be abused by the
gibbering Baconian pnradoxers. il seems inclined
to erect tltt old tabu over other and younger
writers. Not the world, cither. It ls not fair
to bold it accountable for that eddy of tendency I
which i" rh a ps ten years hence will bc recognised |
for what it is. namely an abnormal growth in no
way an indication of healthy progress, but on the
contrary a dir ct product of feeble intellectual
health.
The rise of the liii&sirtn school of Action, and
mon cs'ieeiaUy thc Tolstoi school, has indeed been
an interesting and diverting spectacle. It would
be exceedingly rash to assert that more nonsense
bas been written on these subjects than on any
other of current vogue, beean** the amount of
noi'.seiiM- written continually upon a great variety
of subjects is really very considerable, and tlie
endeavor to proportion it would be dinieult. and
Clearly not worth thc trouble. From the first.
howi-vcr, the Russian cull has been marked by a
?Jugular and increasing ctiihusiasm. and since
Count Tolsloi ap|?nred thc eulogists have been
hard a-a*, to it to maintain the desired plane of
laudation. Ile bis proved tai be a very diflicult.

at bil beat unworthy of admiration, but bee-nils'* he
??was g man who did not know his own stri".rlli; a
gH-iiiiiiivc. un-, 'i Un rv,i man, evidently a type of a
mack ward race, in vii,un Western Civilization had
aa yet (ailed gg penetrate. 'I he obvious usefulness
of this man lay in graphic description of what he
knew: BBSS is. of what he had seen. He had lt
gift i-f observation, and a p"ruliur naive method
of interpretation. His reflections were frosh,
though never profound. Ile was sure to fall into
eruiity if he went far beyond th' matter-of-fact.
?n writing thc stories which made his faun- he
eommiited ft ulta which would eerttvlaly have
mt*amped any MjagHth. French or American writer.
Ilia " Peace and War" ami " Anna Karenina" are
'both fully twice us long as they should have been.
iiThey ure often tedious, verbose to somnolency.
Of the character drawing it has often to be said
that while it may ]verha*>s be wonderfully faith?
ful to l{us**ian human nauirc, it reg embie. BO
?kunian nature found out ol' lius'ia. With tabes*
Sand i-tht-r elcfects, however, yo merits uud benni jcs
tuftii-i.-nt to give IU. to thc writings, and had
ffolsioi kept to this kind of literary production he
would probably have improved by practice, and
evuitriully he mii,ht have come to deserve a lame
?preapi itioii of the praise so pu n..tt.rely and iu
tei.i;.erHtely showered upon him.
But he had a philanthropic side, and it. de?
veloped unduly. His lack of cluettivi) painfully
jTc\ca)'d in such booka as lu- has latterly written
on 1,-licious and economic toi-i, s led him Into the
? adopt iou of diverse, crude ami shallow f ll
all of which had been cxplo-ied gage, pn viously;
and at the sain,- time rjegsjQgjded him that lt wa.

dis<ij,l"s of the Tolstoi Behool stand gallantly to
tie n r-'-I'vis. and nothing ls more curious In tha
whole singular " Kunian movement'1 than th. en?
thusiasm willi which the translators of ti- I WV
iii*- ;rous books In fore us Mht> their ttraage
peotiges into the FilnTlth atngablng world. Ac?
cording to them evi ry thing their author writes is
2 tupi ?natively excellent, and the rc is no lg om for

retilly a fantastic and essentially unsound work,
while the otLcr volume contain, abtwrditie. iail
ure io |ai-rc ive which Indicate, a phenomenal
litei.uy myopia. Count Tolstoi takes Napoleon
anl the l.'issian Campaign as th. terzl of a singu
gularly wild argument, thc gist of which is that
in wai commanders do not fight battle.; that they
do not direct campaigns; that in fut nil ile-ir
dispt siiions go foi nothing: thai a stream of ten?
dency, or destiny, or Provid'-iiv,-, or the individual
soldiers composing the uinics. are the controlling
causes of victory or defeat; and that all history 1
ia wrong nnd false in ascribing to any capt ii in,
lead, r. Caesar or Napoleon the inspirit! ion. the
Tolition, the initiative, of pea, conflicts or cam
paigj's. Nothing is more striking in this ni-giim-nt
than th" Ptsi childishness which underlies it,. It is
miiiiiiain.-d throughout by thc most thoroughly
puerile quibbles. And though ia the llus.siau i
?taapaign there was more mnnMfqniant than in
most because of lhB tn niendous part played by the
deadly climate in the grui', tragedy, thc contention
that -Napoleon did not direct his armit*.; thu!
Koulousof did Uot restrain his; that the battle of
lion 'lino, tlie hurtling of .Moscow, gad the subse?
quent retr.'ut. were not humanly coutr.P'd events,
the respou-sibility for whieh is as ci, arly fixed as
au*, thing iu history, is most ex tra va tja ut.
Tau is the way Count To'-tvi na-oiis: ''lt is
paradoxical to assert that th. musggiini of St.
Bartholomew was the work of Chaffie. IX, I

which cost the lives of eighty thou*'iiid m -n. wits

sjagngi nant, and gave the order to begin the at?
tack. A sentiment of human dignity, which tells
nu- Uial tarli of us, if he bc not more of a mau
titan Napoleon the (JTrial, is at least not less than
he. directs me to a solution of the problem jubtilicd
by ;i multi!ude ol fae'*..** And llien he goes on to

And what, do we find ? A nu_ul>er of very short

apparently for the use of infant schools; und ari

circumstance my thou, hu reverted when Mon

ed!;.- th. same illiiri'e-sir.u hid bell (a,live,',1 to
my own mind when the box fell. It would be
larly unfortunate if this should be thc Iden?

I also beran to have doubts of tlie crafty Com?
inan,li,i,-nt. 1 bad noticed him eyeing m. once
ot twice, and I might, unknown to myself, have
shown mon- anxiety than the occasion seemed
to v.arrant.
I wns ba much pcrdcx lt y as to what court. I
should pursue. I could do nothing openly against
the desperadoes that surrounded me; and ii any
iv',i dawned upon them of the real nature of my
charge, no! lng eould mire me. But- I wa* de?
termined not to resign it, without a ttrugrrle
Several plans suggested to my mind. I thought
of Quietly harneaging the mules and driving back
to rietermariwburg, taking my chane, ol pur
s nt, .ud waiting a more tuc ruble opportunity'.
But this i n, ,,n reflection, I abandoned, ts ir,
wa,nhl b. Impossible to get away unobserved,
and my returning wit hom any obvious Masons
v i lld give ri," io commonly.
I never eloeed my eyes during Hm night, and
- the nay lian! ,i dawn Began to appear,
i got ni* and looked around. Otierton and Mun?
dt tn were lilli lying where r had left them, and
a numbs i of ,,i hem wi re scattered about the steep.
At thia moment I beard n quiet step pass thc
eio! of the houae near ths laager, and was g little
startled to tee th. dark face of an Italian named
..la. Dinelli, who bad ben employed i,s '? ??'n|
! . clerk ia the oillee of thc Chief P.u master.
l'rra that post be had I.n quietly dismissed
,,n account of a doubtful Iraiisiwiioii in reference
to ii money Ditlei teni to a soldier who was a
patient in hospital; which order, wat etvthed by
LMnelli, tfte* the man's death.
Tb. deceased soldier's signature was mis- | I
of being a forgery. The [talion averred, however,
that he had .advanced the amount ol tbe order
to the man.
ex-eli rk knew a good deal about the pey
. and t1,, ob|.?i ol my lourney might by
- omi- means mitre leaked out ; to 1 wa. nol without
a ppr iniisioii on thia score.
tte ad van - I nnd sainted me respectfully.

"No," I nhl; "my mule, have as much as

He glanced, I tl,ought, curiously at the boxes,
nnd saluting again, wished me good morning,
and w.enl toward the front ,,!' the hotel.
By this time th*! peoj lc ol thc hi ute began to

Dr. Mills, at un early hour, hammed, in a

I moya a sigh of relicl as 1 saw the muies turn

I noticed that they did not, commueicate vvith

When the time ni riv al that I baal decided ti

On reaching the point I had Indicated, the driver

Urning by this tun.- re-looded, tho? sent in a -
second volley, one shot, -triking me in the cheek, j
while another disabled two of the feuding tn.iles.
This brought me to a stnudstilL and the three men i
rushed forward. I lind at the foremost, bringing j
him down, and the other two, swearing fearful
laths mad- toward me. I recognized tie a as

I Stood aside, revolver in hand, while tho blood
streamed down my fa.,e and neck. They bott

At, thlfl instant I east my eyes down the road,

waved my hut fi un ti cully *o thom. Tho next
