Dumas's Kindness.

The late Alexandra Dumas was n
man of kindly sympathies, but how
far his kindness could 60 was known
to but few during his lifetime. In
one instance lie even went so far as
to alter the ending Of n novel which
was then appearing in serial form in
one Of the magazines. Shortly before
it's conclusion he received note from
gentleman residing in the country.
The writer begged him not to kill his
heroine, a consumptive, as the plot of
the story seemed to indicate, because
his invalid daughter, who had taken
q great interest in the story, imagined
that she would share the heroine's
fate. Dumas rewrote the final chap
ter, and predicted an unexpected cure
for his heroine. although he had or
iginally intended to close the novel
with her tragic death.
