A Great Love Story, By Joseph Conrad A reader says " 'The Arrow of Gold was three books to me. I read it three times with a new emotion each time. I have heard it said that Conrad was hard reading that his story is always less than his style. I have read on and on in 'The Arrow of Gold,' hurried on by the swift action, led on by irresistible lure of Dona Rita, truly a woman of all ages, and only at the end was I conscious that this absorbing love story had been told with great art that there had been any style at all."

KIPLING, POET OF REAL MEN His New Volume of Verse Is a Metrical Commentary on Great Issues -the publication of n new volume of VT.C y ni"Inr' Kipling might be made the occasion for an extended essay on his qualities as n poet. It doubt less will be thus utilized bv those periodicals which hate room for such matters. ) the lifted spate nwill nble heie but one or two points can be touched upon. A reading of the new olume. "The Years lletween." Impresses one with the immunity of Kipling from the criticism which Tennjson in his Inter jenrs leveled against the jounger generation of poets. He said Hint great so lal and political questions were pressing upon the world for solution, but that the erse makers seemed to be unaware of them. They were writing ballads nnd londeaux nnd triolets, nnd frittering nway their time with amiable futilities instead of summoning their generation to the tasks which confronted it. ivipnug lias not wnstei ns time writing pretty orscs. Nor has he de oted himself to discussion in meter of abstractions. Perhaps he (an best y described as a metrical editorial writer, dealing with the problems of the Hritish empire ns they are affected by woild nffnirs. Most of his poetry of recent years has been called out bv some occasion on the significance of which he has been compelled to make com ment. There is, for example, "The Unworn." written in IDO'J when (ice many proposed .that Knglnnd should help her in n naval demonstration ngainst Vene.uela to collect her debts. H('i protested against leaguing "anew with the (loth and the shameless Hun," and. Incidental! v. was the first to apply to the modern (lermnns the term Hun. Then there is his poem on the denth of King Kdwnrd. n splendid resume of the greatness of the man and the empiie which he served. A large uum- ' tier or the poems in the Miluine were written between 11)14 and 1!)1S ind den! with the war. In n seiies of epitaphs he has comnressed olmnes of iconinient into brief i-pace. Here is what he calls the "Common 1'orm" of a sol dier's tombstone inscription: If anv question why we died. Tell them because our fathers lied This is followed immediately bv an epitaph for "A Dead Statesman rends : It I c ould not dig. I dared not rob, Therefore I lied to pleai-c the mob Xoiv all 1115 lies are proxed untrue And I must tace the men I slew. What tale shall sae nie hero among Mine angry and defrauded joung?
