His uncle nsed the very same words in sending from the room. Was he even now making the same horrible suggestion to Eric? He sprang to his feet with a sudden exclamation Eric——could Eric be trusted? With out waiting to think, Lindsay dashed from the room, up the wide staircase, and along the corridor to his uncle's room. He knocked lightly, and, hear ing no answer, turned the handle softly, and entered the room. Erie stood hy the bedside, a glass in his hand, which Mr. Arundale was reaching forward to tdke Neither man had heard Lindsay enter “Eric,” he cried, sharply, “for God's sake, man, think what you are do ing.” Bric Wynford started violently, and made a sudden movement as if to ro cover possession of the glass, but Mr, Arundale held it tightly in his grasp. He looked from one nephew to the other. “Erie does not share your fool fsh scruples,” he sald, calmly, and be. fore Lindsay could reach the bedside he had emptied the glass and set 1t back on the little table by his side. “Bric,” Lindsay eried In horror, “what have you done?

The American novelist of the newer order is apt to write, as the American young woman talks, at the top of his voice. There is something in the at- natural, partly artificial, and the ef- fect of an inveterate spirit of rivalry which stimulates the organs of ex- pression to an excessive, often a strident, pitch of energy. The itching national desire to be thought original, to have “snap and go,” in season and out of season, leads inevitably to freakishness, irrelevance, slang and grievous maltreatment of language. The literary ideals of Hawthorne are evidently obsolete. of Mr. Henry James and Mr. W. D. Howells are contemnad or forgotten. The ambition of the younger school of transatlantic novelists ig, as we are frequently told, to produce “real live” stories, Assuredly that is one of the most laudable of ambitions, but it miscarries sorely when it results in a fussy effort to galvanize inert matter to a semblance of vigor and gayety. Not thus is the novel endowed with organic life.~—London Chronicle.
