Hamit Charles John Huf-faDickens was born Feb. 7, 1812, at Portsea, England, where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. He died at Gads hill Place, in Kent, on June 9, 1870. His dream of writing came to him early when as boy he read the breathlessly battered novels in his father's library. He became a reporter on the London newspapers, (1836) and wrote Sketches by Bos," in wherein are, miniature, all the abounding virtues , of his novels. The Pickwick i Papers (1837) were success. a inimitable Their rollicking humor captivated the English reading world.

Perhaps the quality that distinguishes his novels among all others is their abounding humor. taph: ON a cold November night, In the the English mail on Its way from London to Dover, was carrying among its passengers a Mr. Jarvis Lorry, a London n firm of banker of the Tellson & Co. As the coach stumbled along in the darkness, there arose before him. the. vision of an emaciated 1775, well-know- 1 nnmi white. figure with hair prematurely All night between him and the spectrd the same words repeated themselves again and again. Burled how long? Almost eighteen years." I hope you care to live? I cant say." About eighteen years before the story opens, Dr. Manette, a prominent young physician of Paris, had suddenly disappeared. Everything was done to discover some trace of him, but in vain. The loss of her husband caused his wife such anguish that she resolved to bring up her little daughter In Ignorance of her fathers fate; and when In two years she died, she left little Lucie under the guardianship of Tellson & CoM to whose care Dr. Manette for many years had Intrusted his financial affairs. Strange tidings concerning the Doctor had Just come from Paris, and Mr. Lorry was on his way to meet his ward, and explain to her the facts of her early life. This was a duty from d banker shrank, which the and when he saw the slight goldenhaired girl who came to meet him, his heart almost failed him; but his task was accomplished at last. concluded Mr. Lorry, And now, your father has been found. He is alive, greatly changed, but alive. He has been taken to the house of a former servant In Paris, and we are going there. I to Identify him, you to restore him to life and love. The servant that sheltered Dr. Manette was a man by the name of who, with his wife, kept a wineshop In the obscure district of St. Antoine. The banker and Lucie were taken to an attic where a haggard, white-haire- d man sat on a low bench, making shoes, a wreck 'of a man, oblivious of all around him. Again was the Channel crossed, and again the old inquiry whispered In the ear of Jarvis Lorry: 1 hope you care to be recalled to kind-hearte- De-far- lifer I cant say. Five years later, in the court room of the Old Bailey in London, a young Frenchman was on trial for Kis life. Near him sat an untidy looking individual by the name of Sydney Carton. With his eyes fixed on the celling, he was unobservant, apparently, of all that passed around him ; but it was he, who, first noticing the extraordinary resemblance between the prisoner and himself, rescued Charles Damay from the web of deceit which had been spun around him. Between these two young men, the striking resemblance was In outward appearance only. Charles Darnay was of noble birth; but his ancestors had for many years so cruelly oppressed the French peasantry that the name of Eyremonde was hated and despised) Wholly unlike them in character, this last descendant of his race had given up his name and estate, and had com i he had been to England as a private gentleman, Evremonde. eager to begin life anew. These Sydney Carton was a young English lawyer, brilliant in Intellect, but steadily deteriorating through his life of dissipation, able to advise others bnt unable to guide himself, conscious of the blight on him and resigning himself to let it eat him away. He and Darnay soon became frequent visitors at the small house In Soho square, the home of Dr. Manette and his daughter. Through Lucies care and devotion, the Doctor had almost wholly recovered from the effects of his long imprisonment, and it was only In times of strong excitement that any trace of his past insanity could be detected. The sweet face of Lucie Manette soon won the hearts of both the young men, but It was Darnay to whom she gave her love, v And so that Interview between Lucie and Sydney Carton has a pathos that wrings our hearts. He knew that even if his love could have been returned, it would have added only to his bitterness and sorrow, for he felt it would have been powerless to lift him from the slough of Selfishness and Sensuality that had engulfed him. But he could not resist this last sad confession of his love; and when she weeps at the sorrow of which she has been the Innocent cause, he Implores: Do not weep, dear Miss Manette; the life I lead renders me unworthy of your pure love. My last'suppllcatlon is this : Think now and then that there Is a man who would give his life to keep a life you love beside you." But dark days were to come In the year 1789 the downtrodden French peasantry turned upon their oppressors. The streets of Paris were filled with crowds of people whose eager cry was for blood. Madame Defarge no longer sat behind the counter of her Bmall wine shop, silently knitting into her work the names of her hated enemies, but axe in hand and knife at her belt, headed a frenzied mob of women on to the Bastlle. The French Revolution had actually begun. Madame Defarge was one of the leading spirits of' the "Revolution. Early in life she had seen her family fall victims to the tyranny and lust of the cruel nobility and from that time her life had been devoted to revenge. Three years of crime and bloodshed passed, and in 1792 Mr. Jarvis Lorry and Charles Darnay landed lu Paris, the former to protect the French iranch of Tellson A Co., and the latter to befriend an old family servant who had besought his help. Not until they had set foot In Paris did they realize Into what a caldron of fury they had plunged. Mr. Lorry, on account of his business relations, was allowed his freedom, but Darnay was hurried at once to the prison of La Force, there co- - await hla trial.- - ThUnMOa given for the outrage was the new law for the arrest of all returning French migrants, but the true cause was that -- nmnmiaaii recogulzedT as Charles tidings soon reached Londoh, and Dr. Manette, with his daughter Lucie, hastened to Paris, for he felt Sure that his long confinement' In the Bastlle would win for him the sympathy of the French people, and thus enable him to save his Days and months passed, and although the Doctor succeeded In . gaining a promise that Darnays life should be spared, the latter was not allowed tr leave his prison. At last came the dreadful year at the Reign of Terror. The sympathy which at first had been given to Dr. Manette had become weakened through the influence of the bloodthirsty Madame Defarge. Also, there had been fbund In the ruins of the Bastlle a paper which contained Dr. Manettes account of his own abduction and imprisonment, and pronouncing a solemn mrse upon' the House of Evremonde and their descendants,-wh- o were declared to be the authors of his eighteen years of misery. Charles Darnays doom was sealed. Back to the and death within twenty-fon- r hours. To Sydney Carton, who had followed his friends to Paris, came an Inspiration. Had he not promised Lucie that he would die to save & life she loved? By bribery, he gains admittance to the prison ; Darnay is removed unconscious from the cell, and Carton sits down to await his fate. Along the Paris streets six tumbrils are carrying the days wine to la guillotine. In the third car sits a young man with his hands bound. As the cries from the street arise against him they only move him to a quiet smile as he shakes more loosely his hair about his face.
