TRAGEDY OF A GENIUS.
"W. N. P.BARBELLION " PASSES AWAY.
Since the publication in the spring of that poignant and bril liant book, The Journal of a. Disappointed Man," the identity of its author, "W. N. P. Barbel- lion," has been a much-discussed mystery. The secret has been well kept, and probably not more than half-a-dozen people outside the author's own family know was Mr. Bruce Fredrick Cum that "Barbellion's" real name mings, a young man of 31, and the victim of an incurable form of-paralysis.
Recently "Barbellion's" long and terrible illness came to an end. For weeks he had lain in his cottage at Gerrard's Cross, Santoo weak even to move his head, hoping and waiting for death. The vigorous mentality which marked his literary style remaia- d with him to the end.

Barbellion's life. He had en-I countered a series of disappoint- ments which would have broken the spirit of a lesser man, and the recognition of his genius was with-held from him until he was actually on his death-bed. He

The volume was a frank revela tion of the 'vie intime" of a young man-indeed, so frank in parts was it that the publisher who originally undertook its pro-Blake Pier). duction changed his mind, and gave Chatto and Wind us the opportunity of issuing the book. Most critic's greeted it enthusias- tically; one or two others were almost as loud in condem- nation of what they called its moral tone." Mr. H. GA Wells wrote an introduction to it and more than one-critic declared he was the author of the whole journal. In spite of Wells' pro- testation that he only wished he were clever enough to be guilty of such a deception, American Critics are still ascribing the work to him.
It was the frankness of his Journal which made a pen-name so necessary. There are many flashes of humour in the Journal, but the entries towards the end reflect the acute mental and underwent in the last few years. bodily suffering which Barbellion He did not expect to be alive when the book was published, and added to the last page the sentence?
