There was a wistful, loving look in her
| dark, glowing eyes, and a sweet, magnetic

the majority of people.
Concerning her sudden departure from
her home, Mrs. Bland throws some light
| She was day nurse in famil in the town
and slept at home. The girl was always

care of two children, but when sue reached
| home she would uncomplainingly wash the
dishes and put the children to bed. There
was no let up to her work or brightness to
| her life and she was very happy. To
marry any one Of the factory hands she
knew, or to be a nurse and ia nily drudge
| any longer were alike imp nasible for her.
She could not be mucn worse off in some
new place, and already her mind was set On
getting away from Guiselev. Her mother
says that she could not settle down to be a

she hated the common people g had to see

there from the me that she knew she was
not related to Mr.. Bland, and after she hal
exhausted her patience deaVOriug to make
living, she decided 10 leave. This resJlu-
ton was strengthened by a gross insult she
received from man of the place who
shocked her into a state of utter wretched-
ness.
1t became impossible for her to stay there.
She was very pretty, even in the common
apparel She wore, and she was resolved
never to be what Ter mother was. But the
loving heart was sOrely tried because it as
impossible for her to exist without affec-
ton, and she dearly loved the little children
III her step-father's home They loved her,
and the old mother whimpers Today over
their grief when they hea d that she was
gone and would not come back to them.
She goes into details at every point, aud
IL becomes wearlsOme t. hear her tell of the
occurrence in her home when S % went to
learn why her daughter remained at Mrs
PadgeJt's two lights, and found that she
had gone from there with but few pieces
OF clothing and her months wages, and wa
then no doubt IN LOudOn. The mother
grieved always for the child she loved, but
whom she could not fueuce she thought
of her constantly for years, and mOurued
for her as she reared the 0 her children who
came too fast to be welcome, aud " 0 were
too commonplace to compare With her first
born. Now, in listening to Mrs. Bland as
she garrulously pOrtrays the events of her
life, one is compelled to belive that was
very proud TO be known as the mother If
Miss Nelson, even though it made her
nelghborS aware of the facts of her earlier
ye trs Of which they ID been ignorant.
She never heard word of Adelaide for
9 years-nOt even that from GuseleY She
went TO Leeds and stopped for a few days
with the aunt in whose home she rad bee
born. The aunt was very religious, cared
little for her sister, and seems to have inter
ested herself not all about the niece, VINO
had come unexpectedly upon her She did
not try to prevent ner ing to London
though She was but seventeen, and in all
ways immature and unsophi5ticated
Mrs, Bland was not told Of the fate of
her child because there was none to tell her
Adelaide had steeled her heart against
her mother and she never sent
her word or wrote her. All who are IA
miliar with the actress life know that she
slept for two nights in Hyde Park under
the trees and that she obtained shelter
through the kindness If q policeman who
took her to his WIFE, d gave
her sewing to do for her board. He
was impressed with her Yorkshire dialect
and her iunocerce, aud knew that she was a
country girl wholly unacquaiuted with the
dangers that surrounded her.
TO her new friends she told her wish to
become an actress, and very soon she had
found place as ballet girl. From that
fcothold she climbed the rough way she had
selected to follow, and to-day all the En-
glish speaking world iameuts the early death
Of 'Snakespeare's woman
The old age Of Mrs. Bland is entirely
comfortable, thanks TO Adelaide Nelson's
generosity. She has a small but pleasant
house in small village ad iOinlng Guiseley,
aud she is not alone, for her only remaining
cnIld, aud a son, ia with her aud some Of
her husbands kindred are near by. She is
harmless, and her physicians fear no cha ge

sible but docile, and II anyone will
listen to her she is happy IN talking Of her
daughter. Sometimes she is really inter-
estlng in her "reminiscences. Her account
Of the manner in which she discovered her
daughters identity eleven years after she
left her, IS graphic and dramatic sometimes.
Some one told OF great actress who had
come 10 Leeds 70 play She was E young
ana beautiful lady nd she was playing 10
great audiences. The poor woman at once
thought Of her missing child ami she grew
anxious 70 hear more. The Leeds paper
was bought and when the mother had road
all that ~ SAID Of the &C ress she determined
10 GO 10 !. eds aud see for herself If Miss
Nelson aud her Lizzie were not one and the
same. Sne recognized her the moment she
saw her come upon tue 81 ge and sat through
the act laboring under the greatest excite
rnsut. Then she hurried 20 the stage en-
trance and was admitted 20 er daughters

Just now the actress received her mother,
but certain it Is she saw her next day and
promised O. 60 10 Guiseley the next time
she was in Leeds. Meantime she gave her
moaey and sent ter more, and she kept her
word and went 10 soc her mother and gave
her more money. After the frst visit which
Miss Nelson made 20 this conutry she went
30 Guiseley and settled Slj,0 900 upon her
mother and bought her a house. Sue Esver
made but ole more visit 70 her, and that
was 70 see II she was estab.

Miss Nelson had but little affection for her
mother, and by many Who knew her well,
