A LITTLE child the beautiful
ly drawn character sketch of
such a one as the Divine Mas
ter so often chose to hold up as a mod
el for his followers this Is our hero
ine. Though not yet fourteen years old,
she could loolt back on better days
gono by. Then her grandfather wns
happy nnd contented and had often
talked of her nngcl mother. She had
walked with him In the fields beyond
the city's noise, nnd they had there en
joyed many delightful hours.
Now ho has changed, no Is anxious,
worried, nnd secretive. He often sends
the child on busluess to tho house of
the hateful dwarf, Qullp. Ho Is away
from homo every night, returning just
before day, and Is filled with gloom
whenever he conies back. The child
cannot comprehend the reason for this
change.
She tells this to the sympathetic
Mrs. Qullp, while the monster who has
loaned her grandfather money listens
nt tho door. He has supposed tho old
man to be possessed of great secret
wealth and to be In tho way of mnklng
much more money If only he could be
carried over a temporary emergency.
But the child's statements to his wife
made the dwarf suspicious, no Inves
tigated and found Nell's grandfather
had talcen his loans to the gaming ta
ble and had" lost.
"I am no gambler," cried tho old
man fiercely, when accused by Qullp.
"I call heaven to witness that I never
played for gain of .mine or love of
play; Unit at every piece I staked I
whispered thnt orphan's name and
called on heaven to bless the venture
which It never did."
He cried out that his winnings would
liavo been made from evil men and
would have been spent on a sinless
I child. Qullp wns unmoved by his ap
I peals for further aid. He had a legal
l hold on the old man's curiosities and
other property and brought UIs lawyer
to take possession of the premises.
Kit, the sen-ant boy of Nell's grand
father, had angered Qullp by calling
him names, and tho dwarf took re
venge by telling the old man that Kit
lind Informed of tho gambling.
Early one morning, before Qullp
nnd his lawyer awoke, Nell and her
grandfather crept softly out and left
their home forever. They had visions
' of fair fields and country scenes
through which they would journey.
i Tho child had learned that she must
be tho lender, and ho followed willing
ly. She had a little money, hut ncy
must depend upon chnrlty when that
was gone.
i The first day they made n long Jour
ney nnd were given n ride by a kind
I countryman. They stnyed. that night
at an inn with two Punch and Judy
showmen for whom Nell had done n
bit of mending. With thim they went
to the races the next day, but Nell be
came suspicious of the men nnd es
caped with her grandfather Into the
open country.
Nearly exhausted by another long
walk, they arrived nt a school play
ground. Tho schoolmnstcr kindly took
them home, nnd they stayed there a
few days, obtaining nculod rest.
Continuing their Journey, they next
met with n traveling wax-figure show,
and Nell so favorably Impressed Mrs.
Jurlcy, tho mnnagcr, thnt she received
employment, nor bitterest experience
enmc at this time.
Ilcr grandfather fell In with some
gamblers and lost nearly nil their mon
ey. Sho had a gold coin of which he
knew nothing. She chnngod this in
payment for their nlght'H lodging, lint
awoko to find her grandfather robbing
ner purso of every coin In order to
;aii)blo ngaln. A short time Inter Noll
icnrd tho gamblers persuade, htm to
tea' from Mrs. Jurloy holding out Uio
hopo that ho would win much more
I hnn enough to repay her secretly.
Poor Nell was now In absolute ter
ror. She woke him thnt night nnd told
htm of a terrible dream, wherein sho
saw men Hko him robbing those asleep.
She made him flee with her at once.
On nnd on Uiey walked, farther and
farther from Loudon. Finally they
came to a smoky town. A poor work
man took the tired child In his arms
and led the way near the furnace room
of n huge factory where they could
sleep warmly.
The poor girl wns nearly exhausted,
but In tho morning they pressed on
their Journey. At last they saw a fa
miliar form. The child screamed and
fell senseless r.i tho feet of Uio school
master. He carried her gently Into a
nenrby Inn, nnd there she gradually
recovered by means of stimulants, food
nnd rest. '
Tho schoolmaster had received what
wns to him n princely appointment. He
had been given a position paying thirty-five
pounds mutually In n distant
town, and he was walking there. He
had loved Nell since ho saw her nnd
begged them to go and live nenr him.
Entirely friendless, except for hltn.
they went gladly. Their new home' was
in n beautiful peaceful village. Nell
obtained n position ns caretaker of the
church, and they lived next door to
the schoolmaster.
Now tho old man's servant, Kit, had
obtained nn excellent position near
homo by being strictly honest In his
dcnllngs with n kind old man, Mr. Gar
land. He had never lost his deslro to
find nnd help Nell and her grandfa
ther. A strange gcntlcmnn appears In the
story In senrcli of the same personages.
He proves to bo tho old grandfather's
younger brother, who has lived abroad
many yenrs. Ho has made much money
and has returned to share It with his
aged relative, who has now disap
peared. After one unsuccessful Jour
ney, he found out where Nell nnd her
grandfather were living. Taking Kit
nnd Mr. Garland along, tho younger
brother traveled to tho vlllnge. They
arrived there late at night, but Kit
discovered the old man nt once. He
asked for Nell, and her grandfather
said she was asleep. Then the younger
brother, Mr. Garland, tho schoolmas
ter and an old man who had befriend
ed Nell entered.
Poor Nell had been (lend for two
days. "There upon her little bed she
lay nt rest. No sleep so beautiful and
calm, so free from trace of pain, so fair
to look upon. Sho seemed n creature
fresh from the hand of God nnd wait
lug for tho brcnth of life; not one who
had lived nnd suffered denth." Worn
out by her long journey, her lack oi
food, her exposure, and the anxiety for
her grandfather, she had never recov
ered from tho strain, although her Inst
days had been spent In perfect peace
and joy.
Tho old man wns found dend upon
her grave not long afterward.
How Kit's honesty had onco been
questioned because of a plot laid
against him by tho wretched Qullp,
and his lawyer; how his Innocence had
been proven through the testimony of
the lawyer's servant mnld, n starved,
abused child ; how the humorous Dick
Swlvcller nsslsted in freeing Kit, and
how he was rewarded; how the horrl
ble dwarf met n well-deserved death
by drowning all those side-lights to
the main story of Little Nell are told
In Dickens' own Inimitable wny. But
they must ever be regarded as mere ac
cessories In tho development of the
short life history of one of tho most
pathetic and lovnble characters In our
literature.
Oh, mightiest mnster of the pen of
English ficUon, we thank thee for tho
gift of little Nell, to show us by her
love nnd Innocenco nnd faith how much
of God may reside In humnnlty.

ONE THING SHE HADN'T LOST
Puptl's Statement of Fact Probably
Gave Music Teacher Occasion for
Deep Thought.
A well-known music teacher In At
lanta was giving n lesson to a talent
ed but careless pupil and wns rapidly
losing nil patience with nor. Finally,
at a most complicated part of n dif
ficult piece, the pupil lifted her hands
from the piano and made a wild dash
for her handkerchief to stop a threat
ened sneeze. It wns tho last straw.
"Was there ever such a girl!" ex
claimed the teacher, thrusting her own
handkerchief nt the offender. "You
lose your position, you loso your lin
gering, you lose your handkerchief
you loso everything I"
"Not quite everything," said the pu
pil with a smile. "I haven't lost my
temper."
Flls In Education.
A pet theory of Hex Ingram, pro
ducer of "Tho Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" and "Tlio Conquering
Power," Is thnt motion pictures win in
time virtually supplant ornl Instruc
tion In tho schools. Ho believes thnt
the eye Impressions work more pow
erfully on tho brain thnn those of
things heard.
A test of the theory, It Is said, was
made recently in Detroit, where a
school class was divided Into two
crouns of euunl Intelligence. Ono
group had n motion picture lesson ;
no explanation wns given by a teacher.
The lesson lusted l.'l minutes. Tho
other group received oral Instruction
from n teacher for 55 minutes. Then
oiii'h group wns tested on the lesson.
The average grade of the motion pic
ture group wns J1.20 per cent higher
thnn that of the oral group.
Medium Was Right.
