thousand characters. never surpassed for
originality, tenderness and power in the
creations OF Dickens, Thackeray, Eliot,
Bulwer, Dumas or Hugo, have played
their part in these natchiess conceptions
OF tie dolors, delights and desIinies of

one OF these tales could have been an eX-
tended novel or a great drama. The
marvel has constantly been that such
prolific and fruitful situations, masterful
and tender lie histories, thrilling and
impressive human dramas, could have
been SO symmetrically and perfectly en-
