A lo w mus ical voice came gravely from the larger of the log hut : •·If you. the pale m o nsieur wi h to serve, you the ting-s kno w where are.''

The low \·oice, with a hint of laughter, came to them from just hcyond the doorway of the hut: "The \Vhite Father \vould send never a pale monsieur over a waterfall to my father for to see." The cowboy grinned admiringly while Brandon's face flushed, and Billy gleefully remarked: "Say, Pard, ain't she a brier, though? Keen's my huntin' knife.'' Turning his attention to the Indian girl, he called: uBut, Lonona, th ' young paleface wants to see yuh-all.' "If to me the paleface monsieur to speak wishes, you he would never let say it."

RECENT FICTION Through the Eyes of An Uoder-gtaduate

fictio n these days. A college man may hardly expect to keep abreast of all this fiction. Nor is this otherwise than it s hould be. For the man who has a w o rk to do in this world-and this is essentiall y the case of the college n1an-must be something m o re than the den tc~ of the n o Ycl and the magazine. But n evertheless it is the mark o f the sound, broadminded college man to ob en·e and to pass judrrment upon the nature and trend of at least a ron iderablc part of the literature of his <.lay. It is intcrc~tinrr to note the influence of the modern magazine upn n fi'ti o n. And it i cq unll y interesting t o ob crve the influence of the times a nd of the people upon the magazine. Vv' e are cosmupolitan a nd we are r ecluse. The magazine, th erefore, as the exprc s ion of our life, is o pen to the whole world of to day. and it is eager fo r the fnture: in s far it is cosmopolitan. nut it cares little for the yesterdays; it lets th e dead bury the dead: in so far it is r ecluse. And in none of its departments docs the magazine sustain this tendency so uni versa lly as in its fiction. The ficti on of the magazine is pre-eminently a reprc.::entation of the life of to-day. \Vh ether thi is in respo use to public demand, whether it is a reaction fro m the late ly fo1·saken cult of the historical ro man ce, or whether it is the inevitable expressinn o f our intense and strenuous life we leave for others to decide. Dut we may be certain that the magazine has done a great deal for the s hort story; perhaps there are thos e who would venture to say that the magazine is r espons ible for the short story. At any rate it is given an in1portant role in the mag azine. It is being used by every walk of life to t ell it story, to plead its cause, to give its warning, to bring it smile or t ear . The technical cons tructio n of our short stories may be faulty· but, then, we are Atnericans, and we have a way of doing these things so that they count, regardless of the ways of the forefathers. In fact, we can do no better than quote Bret Harte's words of a fe\v years ago when the short story was aspiring to its present status. And very aptly did he state what has come to be the intense vogue of the short story of to-day. He said that it was uthe treatment of characteristic American life, with absolute knowledge of its peculiar-

DR. DRIVER'S LECTURE

The last numher o f this season's lectur cnttrse '\vas rend e red on the evening o f :\fa rc h 14. Dr. J. 1\1. Driver, speaking on "America Facing the East,'' closed the series with what was perhaps the strongest number on the co urse. He capti\·atetl his large and appreciati\·e audience from the ve ry beginning. and h eld it captive till the end . The very presence of his great, strong phy!'ique was a thing to be felt , and it took o nly a few minutes to cd'nvince his h earers that they were listening to an alert and eloquent orator and a "royal good fellow." Bnt Dr. DriYer came to in,truct as well as to entertain. and certainly atl felt that there stood before them a man who, from the weJI-filled s torehouse of his wide experience, extensi\·e travel, profound study, brilliant intellect and imtnense thought-area, was well fitted to teach them much. The lecture was a very valuable one, for it not only gave food fo r serious reflection by the promulgation of new ideas, but also enlarged one's horizon and broadened his views. Never did anyone get a glimpse of a grander or more patriotic conception of his country's work aRd mission than when he heard Dr. Driver tell of how it is our nation's noble tas k to do the Jio n 1s share in civilizing and Christianizing the countless hosts of the heathen and pagan Orie nt. And never can an American experience a prouder moment than when h e reflects on the fact that the Far East is anxiously awaiting our coming and wants no other country, for it cons iders us alone as disinterested. This thought was the corner-ston e of the address, the core of Dr. Driver's message, around which he built a magnificent and majestic structure of edifying ideas, gorgeous ly decorated and embellished with wit and humor.
