First there 'was the ime petus given to the reading of the works of Russian novelists, and then bit by bit the classics of other peo- Dles began to receive attention, One of the latest of the books is the first English translation of "The Legend of the Glorious Adventures of ™ Ulenspiegel." This book, known as the National Epic of Flanders and called by E. Camille Lemmonier "The Bible of the Flemings," was written by Charles de Coster, an eo centric journalist, who, acco: te Geoffrey Whitworth, to whom we are indebted for the translation, "wag born of obscure Parentage in 1827, and, after a life spent in not much less obscurity, died in 1879. The taste of de Costa ran to archaeology, and he spent tem years gathe from mediaeval sources the material that he put into "The Legend of Tyl Ulenspiegel." The story that he turn- ed out was a very colorful romance, written with the quaint spirit of the Middle Ages with its full-blooded flamboyant jollity in the narrative, The story that de Costa had to tell was almost entirely romantic. He deals with the love story of: Ulenspiegel, youthful, high-spirited and fond of adventure, and Nelo; the beautiful, devoted and pure, 'The background of the: tale is his. toric. The King of Spain, a devilish figure, throws a sinister influence over all the incidents of the tals, and horrible accounts are given of the black intrigues and the tortures devised by the Spanish Inquisition, Some people who regard Belgium as a stronghold of the Roman Catholigy) urch may be astonished to find a Belgian book containing such pas. sages, but as the translator tells uss "De Costa himself was in no sense a theological partisan, and hig sym- pathy with the Beggarman sprang from his enthusiasm for national liberty far more than from any towards the Protestant cause as such." Mixed with the historie in- cidents, there Is also a large element of the supernatural. Katheline, the mother of Nele, is one of the most extraordinary figures in literature, Sometimes she seems like a pro- phetess, and again like a martyr, while at other times she becomes' as abliorrent as a witch. Her character, like that of so many of the people plaged dy de Costa in his story, was intended to be symbolic, A good deal of the symboljsm and' the allegory will interest us because it might have been written as a re= sult of the German invasion of Bel gium. One striking example is the ¥islon seen by Nele and Ulenspiegel of the giant "Pride," who held a Sword in one hand and a Beeptre in the other. The author' tells us "He cried, 'I am God.' Then by his side appeared a ruddy-faced girl, and she was seated on the back of a goat, and her bosom was bare, her gown half open, and she had a wanton LH and her name was Luxury. After her there came an old woman, a Jewesa, who was busy all the time, seraping up the egg-shells of the sea-gulls that lay about the ground; and her name was Avarice. Then a monk appear +» Most greedy and gluttonous, eat ing chitterlings he was, and cram ming himself with sausages an champing his jaws together without 0 , like the sow whereon he rode; and his name was Greed, Thereafter came Idleness, dragging one leg after the other; wan she was and bloated, and she had a dull eye.

"And the wispd kept dancing all around, and they ke with many volees like the voices of men, wo- men and girls, and in the plaintive voices of children, and they groan ed, saying: 'O, Pride, father of Am- bition, and you, Anger, that are the source of cruelty, you slew us on many a battlefield, and caused our death in many a prison and many. a torture chamber, that you might keep your sceptres and your crowns! And yeu, O, Eavy, that have de- stroyed %0 many useful thoughts souls of the inventors whom you have persecuted. Avarice, you it is who have turned the blood of the poor into gold, and we are the souls of your victims.
