Excerpt from Stories of Exile The performance of this task has suggested the idea that, in romantic fiction, ours is the day of small things, - small as the diamond and the violet are small. Going freely through English literature to gather little classics, I have been surprised at finding so few that antedate the present century. Haw thorne, De Quincey, Poe, and Dr. Brown have put within the compass of a few pages as much plot and character, as much pathos, humor, human nature, metaphysical speculation, and dramatic effect, as commonly suffice for a full-length romance. The ponderous novel cannot be said to have had its day; but the indications are that it must soon cease to have more than its day. The work of art which, embodying a sacred principle or a living idea, condenses its plot, its moral, and its effective climax into the limits of a single sitting must, in an age of crowding books and rushing readers, possess a decisive advan tage over the unwieldy conventional novel, with its caravan of characters and its long bewilderment of detail. The Ark of the Deluge may crumble on the mountain, but the Ark of the Covenant is borne by the people through all their wanderings, and enshrined in the temple when they rest.

Excerpt from Hearts in Exile For his was, above all, an invitingly honest face, and one does not come across too many such. Perhaps also there was, in the eager face and strenuous figure, more than a suggestion that such of the good things of life as had come his way had been rather mental than material, had con tributed more to his inner well-being than to his outer, that the lower things held but small interest for him, and that he had not greatly missed them.

Excerpt from The Tale of My Exile It was perhaps on the 11th of December of the year 1909. There has been a complete overhaul of things during my twelve years' exile. Yet the changes outside are not so remarkable when compared to the change in my memory. This faculty seems to have fallen into a moribund condition and can only groan at its best. All the past events have become there shadowy and uncanny images, as it were, parading in a drunken brain. Certainly one must not expect from me any ordered narration of facts in their logical relation'of time and place. So I beg to be excused at the very outset, if I happen to commit the blunder of punishing Jack for the crime of Peter.

Excerpt from In Exile, and Other Stories Nicky dyer and the schoolmistress sat upon the slope of a hill, one of a, low range overlooking an arid Californian valley. These sunburnt slopes were traversed by many narrow footpaths, descending, ascend ing, Winding among the tangle of poison oak and wild-rose bushes, leading from the miners' cabins to the shaft-houses and tun nels of the mine Which gave to the hills their only importance. Nicky was a stout Cornish lad of thirteen, With large light eyes that seemed mildly to protest against the sportive relation Which q broad, free kled, turned-up nose bore to the rest of his countenance; he was doing nothing in par ticular, and did it as if he were used to it. The schoolmistress sat With her skirts tucked round her ankles, the heels of her stout little boots driven well into the dry.

Excerpt from The Story of a Siberian Exile It has not been thought advisable to give these papers to the public without a few words of explanation to those readers who see them for the first time in an English dress. It may seem that the three parts of which the book is composed have little connection with each other, hut this is not the case. Along with the story of a Polish Exile in Siberia will be found two chapters on the political aspects of Poland. The first of these contains an account of those measures and events by which the dismemberment of ancient Poland was effected. But the Poles contend that the wrong done to their country has not stopped there; and that she has been not only dismembered, but denationalised.
