CHILDHOOD AND MURDER.
How Charles Dickens Painted Them In
Our Mutual Friend


"Our Mutual Friend"
1t Is in the passage of childhood
veritable childhood, in which the ia
nous Little Nell seems to me to have
no part-that Dickens writes those
words of perception of which literature
would do well to be proud. Take the
passages of several of the novels in
which the heart of child is uttered
by the humorist in whose heart moth
ing ceases to live. These pages are
too full for citation. But here, in the
last word of the phrase, is most
characteristic stroke of authorship.
Pip" in Great Expectations" as ev-
eryone knows, has taken food for his
convict, and he goes to church on
Christmas morning: Under the
weight of my wicked secret | pom
dered whether the church would be
powerful enough to shield me from the
vengeance of the terrible young man,
If l divulged to that establishment"
Another word of precision is this:
"Trabb's boy, when l had entered,was
sweeping the shop, and he had sweet
ened his labors by sweeping over me.
Here is another, and it repeats the eff
feet of Mr. Vohles' sleeve, in child's
apprehension: Miss Murdstone, who
was busy at her writing desk, gave me
her cold finger nails" "A sobbing gas
light" Mrs. Wilfer's "darkling
state" and 'lurid indications of the
better marriages she might have
made" (wherewith she celebrates her
silver wedding)-these serve to remind
a reader of the thousands of their ad-
mirable kind. | cannot think that the
telling of violent accident (most diff
ficult achievement of narrative writ
ing) could be done more dramatically
than it is done in the passage that
tells the murder in Martin Chuzzle-
wit" So with the half-told murder in
Edwin Brood" AS by strong drama
held. These passages of extreme ac-
tion are never without dignity Lit
erary dignity is rarer in the pathetic
mood, but it is frequent in landscape:
Cali beyond his figure was a vast dark
curtain in solemn movement toward
one quarter of the heavens" 1t seems
to me that the word curtain" is COM
mon, and that it would have spoiled
the phrase of many writer's as it fails
to spoil that of Dickens.-Colliers
Weekly.

all the time, and scarcely able to main

He wished to taunt and torture the

"Will 1 not?" chuckled Starne.

There was murmur among the
crew. These dark-skinned fellows were
not all murderers because they were
smugglers. They had liked Torrevo,
and they bore Starne no love for kill
ing him. They liked Rob, and while

CHEAP VIOLIN
Used by Two Smooth Men to Boat
Pawnbroker.

UoeQ Dy Two c"ooth hoh W AsoN" -
Pawnbroker.
The impression that pawnbrokers
cannot be worked" has been exploded
by some cunning swindlers. Some
months ago there came to Philadelphia
two musicians who had been stranded
with theatrical company in neigh
boring New Jersey town. They needed
money badly, so they put their wits to
little stake. This is the way they
worked it: One of them, who may be
called John Bow, took his violin
which was a cheap instrument, worth
at the utmost $25-to a Market street
pawn shop and gave the proprietor a
long essay on the rarity of the instru-
ment To prove that it was an old
Cremona, he played for the pawnbrok-
err, and finally succeeded in getting a
SIS loan on it for two weeks. Before
he left he urged the money lender to
be very careful of the violin, as he
would not lose it for hundreds of dol
lars. The pawnbroker placed the fid-
die in his safe and instructed his as
sistants to be very careful of it. A
week later a man entered the place
who said he was a collector of rare
violins, and wanted to know if there
were any in the shop that he might
fancy. The boss showed him a num-
Der, but the fancier did not see any
to his liking. Finally Bows violin was
brought out, and when the fancier
drew the bow over it he became enthu
siastic and said he would give $500 for
it. The broker replied that he was
sorry, but the violin could not be sold.
The stranger then became anxious and
left a S. deposit, and asked that they
try to get the fiddle. A few days aft
erward the owner, Bow, came in, and
when the. proprietor learned that he
wanted an additional $40 on the fiddle
he offered him 500 cash more for the
instrument. At first Bow would not
listen to it, but finally he took the
additional 500 and left with sorrow
full face. The pawnbroker chuckled
over such an easy way of making over
5000. He waited anxiously for the
fancier, but as it is now over three
months since he said he would come
back, the broker thinks it was a put up
Job. He had the violin valued last
week, and it was pronounced worth. at
the highest, s25.-Philadelphia Record.

they were not the kind to mourn If
they heard of his death somewhere
else, they were not quite ready to have
him killed under their very noses.
Rob heard the murmur, and in
stinctively knew that some of the men
were friendly to him, and opposed to
Starne's brutality. He quickly turned
and addressed them.
Men, l have sailed with you'll" he
said. "Torrevo was your friend and
mine Will you let this man kill me?"
There was no answer from the crew.
They looked at each other with dark,
questioning glances.
will they let mel" yelled Starne,
now beside himself with murderous
rage. "Ill show you and them what l
care for their let"
He drew pistol from his belt. AS
he raised it to aim at Rob, the boy
suddenly felt giant arm on his, and
he was swung round behind powerful
fellow who took his place before
Starne.
mo shoot" said the dusky giant.
Starne, who had now lost all con-
troll of himself, and had no caution in
unexpected interruption.
Get out of the way!" he yelled. DO
you know that boy is traitor?'
mo shoot" said the man, stolidly.
"He must diel" said Starne. He is
placing us all in danger. He knows all
our secrets. He is the nephew of Hor-
ton, of Buenos Ayres, and knows that
we have arms stored in the cave;
knows that we are planning to over
throw the government, and knows
who the men are who are with us. II
he lives and escapes from this schoon-
er, he will have us all shot. He did
write a letter to his uncle, but / got 1t.
1 tell you he must die"
mo shoot" said the confronting
giant, with face that was impassive.
mo KILL" now came from someone
in the crowd.
He berry good boy. What for he
must die?" asked one, who had heard
every word of Starne's explanation.
ITO save your life and mine!" said
Starne. Then, with an angry glance
around, he added, And because l say
so. l will not only shoot him. but
every man who interferes. as we'll"
Quick looks Of anger greeted this
speech Starne was not aiding his
cause any by rousing the anger of such
men as .heS

stake me on board, will you? l have
run away from Elvin, and they may
come after me. i want to hide"
Hide from Senior Elvin! Ho! Him
got sharp eye!"
"He can't see down in the hold Of
the Black Cat, said Rob.
During the voyage to Brazil and back
many of the crew had grown fond of
Robin their own savage sort of fond
ness. They all feared Elvin, but none
loved him.
Come" said the one who was do
ing the talking.
Rob stepped into the boat, they
showed off, and In a few minutes Rob
was on board. The situation was at
once explained by Rob, and the crew
promised to help him. He was snug
ly hidden in the hold, and his last
words were:
IF anybody comes after me, don't
say am here. But tell Torrevo when
he comes"
Rob remained for sometime hidden
there, and wondered what kept Torrevo
so long. He could see nothing, hear
nothing. He could feel the motion OF
the schooner, and knew she was still at
anchor.
At last he heard the sound of the
anchor chain. They were getting I'M
der way.
"Torrevo has come back" said Rob,
exultingly. Now l am all right"
He still remained hidden for time,
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1900-03-30

Rob, whose senses were rendered
more acute by the danger he was in.
saw at once that Starne had created a
feeling against himself. He was quick
to take advantage of it.
Every man who sticks to me will
be rewarded by my uncle!" he called
out. What il this man does kill me?
Does he think that the litter he re-
ceived was the only one l wrote? Be-
fore week has passed this gang OF
plotters will be in prison. Where will
you be, then, if you follow him? But
II you stand by me, my uncle will help
you, and everyone will go free"
At this there was a rising sound OF
approval in the crowd.
