rho Deceased Novelist.

Charles Rcade, the eminent English |
who died in London, April IL,
was born in 1874 at Ipsden House, Ok
fordshire, England. His father was an
eminent scholar, and his mother lady |
of unusual intellectual strength. He was
educated at Magdalen College, Oxford.
After graduation he read law, gained a
Vinerian fellowship at the University of
Oxford, in 1912, and was called to the bsr
the year after. He never practised law,
but adopted literary life, occupying it's
earlier years in writing for newspapers
and magazines. His frat novel was "Peg
Wellington" Published in 1858. "Chris.
tie Johnstone," issued the came year, was
well received. TT il Never Too Late to
Mend" produced in 1866, dealt severely
with certain abuses Of prison discipline,
and created great excitement. Hence
forward every work from Mr.. Reade's pen
was welcomed eagerly The list OF his
works includes, in addition TO those al
ready mentioned. 1.-The Course of True
Love-" Jack of All Trades" Love Me
Little Love Me Long" "White Lies"
The Cloister and Hearth" which is, per
haps, the ablest of his books; "Hard
Cash" ""Grifiith Gaunt," ""Put Yourself in
His place." and "a Terrible Temptation"
His pen hNs proved inexceptlonallv power.
ful, dealing lncidently with social wrongs,
and severely condemning their perpetra-
tors.
Few writers, ii any, have covered wider
range than lie in the variety of fiction
originating in The view OF motives and I'm.
pulses arising from other passions than
that of 1--we.
Charles Reade was a successful dramatist.
He published "Gold" in 1S43, the first OF
his plays. MASKS and Faces" 1.-TWO
Lovers and Life" and "The Kings Ri
val" followed at intervals. Several of his
stories have been drama,ized, notably
'Gr' filth Gaunt," by Auguslin DAILY.
American Readers will remember Mr..
Reade's snit against the New York Times
because it had characterized Griffith
Cunt" as an immoral production. Six
cents damages were awarded the irnte
novelist 10y the jury sitting on the case.
The decensed writer was a man OF great
force and originality of character. He
loved and hated with vehemence. His pen
was far from being sqeamish, for it wrote
the truth, and he was unqncstionably
great master of the knowledge Of human
nature.

ended, the boy, and little ones and their
mothers went to bed.
Hour after hour went away. and the
profound stiffness without and the labors
of the day began to affect the watchers !;
one and another, and another grew drowsy.
and so on, until all dozed, and mapped,
and at last sank into the deep, sound sleep
that comes before dawn.
Up stairs similar state of affairs exist
ed. only with less responsibility resting
on them; the inmates of the attic had
fallen asleep much earlier in the night.
Suddenly. and at once, all were aroused
by finding the room full of Indians. The
door, so securely barred, standing wide
open. while the windows remained fas-
tened as before.
As soon as the gentlemen recovered from
their stupor and surprise, they made ges-
lures of g pod fellowship. and set out the
TODD and liquor provided for the emergen-
CIV, and babe them eat and drink and be
merry. When the repast was ended and
the handshaking and parting over, the
Indians left. and then arose the startling
question: How had they gained an en-
trance How came the door open?
A further disclosure added to the mys-
terry. The iron bar was missing. and no
search discovered it. All their surmises,
all their guessing. amounted to just moth
ing at all. 1t was like piece of witch
craft how that door got open, and what
had gone away with the bar which had
fastened it up so safely
Later in the day, the mystery which had
agitated them all so much was explained.
While grandmother was restoring the
beds to their proper places, she found the
bolster of her young brothers bed very
heavy, and on examining it, the missing
bar was hidden in the case.
He was a sleep-walker and had gotten
up and removed the bar. and being deeply
impressed before he went to sleep with
the reliance placed on that iron bar, had
brought it up stairs and hidden it where
the Indians would never think of looking
for it.
A few months subsequent to this, one
evening, while the family was absent, the
house was burned to ashes; aud although
no positive proof existed, every one be-
lieved that the old squaw returned and

Economical Women.

There are three varieties Of women, f.

whose dollar has ninety cents in it. Sec
ond, the woman whose dollar has one
hundred cents. Third, the woman whose
dollar has one hundred and ten cents. On
this margin of twenty cents in the dollar.
family fortunes rise and fall.
The woman whose dollar is at a prem
ium. insists on saving something every
month. The woman whose dollar Is
worth from fifty to ninety cents. seems to
have married a man merely to expioiter
his pockets. There is very great. and
often very Just complaint that men do not
confide their business affairs to their
wives and that women often expend be-
yond their means. simply because they
have no real knowledge of what those
means are. But in the first flush OF Young
married lite, almost every man will 'tell
every thing to his wife. II he is an
honest man, with no nefarious practices TO
conceal. he will detail to her all his income
and expenses. If at that time she chooses
n know exactly what is the cash standing
Of the new partnership, she can undoubt-
eddy do so.
Also. let il be remembered that in this
first ioy Of married life. the first dignity
OF claiming a vile and home, nearly all
men are disposed to be not only liberal
but lavish. They are willing to Law out
all their income on this new idol. Now
If the idol permit this. if she takes all the
offerings laid on her shrine, il she even
encourages her votary by CRYING ''more.
more" when the day swiftly comes that
the months income is gone before the
month is gone. and the newly married
man feels tie ''stings and arrows OF out
rageous ''impecuniosity. he says in his Sc
cret SOUL that this is very selfish idol.
and evidently an idol. with poor and I'M
happy brains" for business.
Mean while, do not blame the young
wife. She went through arithmetic, pos
sibly through algebra in school. but who
has applied algebra or arithmetic to her
daily life? The young girl is. IN ninety
nine case out of hundred the girl who
has known OF money merely as success
sions of five or ten dollar bills, transferred
from her fathers pocket to hers. She
never heard but what it entered and left
his pocket easily. We are not blaming
the charming young wives, but their
mothers, who should have taught their
daughters stern, practical common sense
about finances. - JULIA McNAIR WRIGHT,
