to acton free library a well- i known author tells the nearly incredible story of a girl who left off reading quo yadis because nothing happened in it she had been so demoral ized by sensational fiction that the long record of cruelties and heroisms of murders and martyrdoms that fill the pages of quo vadis seemed tocher tame looked at from her point of view the book was uneventful the modern storyteller has a hard time to keep up with the modern reader after all there are only a certain number of casualties that can befall a human being and the sensational novel ist exhausts them all in the opening chapters it is easy enough to kill people and in the novel it is easy to bring them back to life while there is death there is hope is the novelists battlecry it is easy to bring a hero safe and sound through adventures that would have laid hercules low be cause it is not in the nature of heroes to die per manently seas cannot drown them explosions can not explode them swords can never touch them in a vital spot an army of spearhurling savages could no more kill a hero than a swarm of black flies could iciu a crocodile he is bulletproof feverproof waterproof if he were not he
