Soon after her love disappointment she
had written to her lawyer In London,
who was named Jaggcrs. asking him to
find a baby girl for her to adopt as
her own. Now Mr. Jaggers had just

duller and less sharp than he, and as q

many years. Those two men, by the
way, were the convicts who escaped from
tho hulks into the marshes, and Mag

tho food.
This Magwltch, as 1t happened, had q
baby daughter, which had fallen into
Mr. Jaggcr's care, and In answer to
Miss Havishams request the lawyer had
sent the little girl to her, telling her
nothing of tho chlld's parentage.
Miss Havsham had named her Es-

knew.
Pip saw no more of the pale young
gentleman, though for almost year he
went to Miss Havlsham's every other
day, Each time he saw Estella ana
felt himself loving her moro and more
But she was always unkind, and often,
when she had been rudcr than usual
he saw that Miss Havisham seemed 10
take delight In his modification. some
times she would fondlc Estcllas hand,
and he would hear her say:
''lnat's right! Break their hearts, my

At last one day Miss Havlshan sent
for Joe. tho blacksmith. and gave MIN
n bag of money, telling him that he was
not TO send Pip to her any more but
that he should put him to work anu
teach him 4s1a trade of .hlacksmithing
So Uncle PGmblechook took Pip to town
that very day and had him bound TO
Joe as an apprentice.
This was just what Pip had once
looked forward to with pleasure. But
now 1t made him wretched. Through
IIstela's jcers he had come to feel that
blacksmithngs was common and low He
thought constantly. as he helped Joe
blowing the forge fire, of Estella's looks
of dsdain. yet In spite of all he longed
to see her.
On his first half-holday he went to
call on Miss Havisham. But there was

sprang to Pip's eyes, she laughed. When
he got home he confided in Biddy, ia
told her how he loved Estella, and tina.
he wanted more than anything else IN
the world to be q gentleman. Mean
while he began to study hard at any
spare time he had, and Bddy helped
him all she could.
Pip might have fallen in love with
Blddy If he had not had Dstella always
in his mind. Orlck Joe's helper. In
decd, thought he had done So and 1t
made him hate Pip more than ever for

grew morose and quarrelsomo and spoke
so roughly to Mrs. ZOO ono day that
she was not satisfied till tho blacksmith
took off his singed apron and knocked
the sury Orlick down In the coal dust.
This was a costly revenge for Mrs.
Joe, however. Orlick never forsave It,
and q few nights after, when no one
! was at homo but herself ho crept IN
her terrible blow on the head with
a pleco of iron. Hours afterward Joe
found Mrs. Joo lying senseless. and
,, though she lived to recover q part OF

again. sho grew we'll enough at last
to sit all day In her chair, but was

CURED till he had been for four years
Joes apprentice,
One night. as Pip sat with Joe before
the fire In the Three jolly Bargemen,"
they were called out by q gentleman
whom Pip remembered to have seen once
at Miss IIavisham's. 1t was, as matter
OF fact, Mr.. Jaggers, her lawyer, VINO

So Estella had grown up In the dismal

ion. Day by day she became moro
lovely, and even while she was still a
little girl. the same age as Pip, Miss
Havisham was impa tlent to teach her

This was the reason Pip received his in

he was intended only ms practice for

On its appearance not long ago the

S2I pages, the result of exhauStless
study and wide professional expert

into 81 chapters there are added 217
Illuminating illustrations. the frontis-
piece in colors
DR.. Cleaves is the most noted spe-
eialist of her subject and its allies
who has gone out from Iowa. Ii was
AT Davenport that she began her stu
dies and commenced practice: il was
at Mt. Pleasant that she first received
recognition for her hospital skill; and
this has since been extended TO East
ern and European cities. She has three
sisters living in Davenport now.
Light Energy has been received
as a standard text book on its sub
ject- While too technical for the com
prehenSiOn of the average reader il has
been received at home and abroad by
the medical profession as a most val
liable contribution. Few books have
met with so cordial a reception on the
part of those competent TO judge.

which are unstinted in their praise are

Charles Woodin, was as eloquent an
address as was ever made by a pupil
of the high school. Mr.. Woodin is
gifted with a remarkably distinct and
well modulated voice, and expressed
himself in terms that would do JUS
tice to a polished orator. He has dis
tinguished himself in the school for
his ability to speak before the student
gatherings with such dramatic effect
In we'll chosen words he thanked the
graduating class for the gift, and wish
ed them the best that their future life
could possibly give.
In view of the fact, as he said, that
the Junior class is chemically slow,
Walter Calf Jens. of the senior class,
presented the juniors with an alarm
clock of approved pattern, with the
advice that they make the most of its
assistance to cultivate the habit OF
promptness. On behalf of the junior
class, Clarence Martin received the
gift with a few well chosen remarks in
expression of the appreciation OF the
interest of the seniors, and in meas
ure denying the assumption that the
members of the class of '06 are given
to hardness, and not prompt.
Farewell.
Anna Irene Ferry delivered an ap
propriate address, in we'll chosen
words, bidding farewell to the teach
ers and school. as students. She spoke
of the reluctance with which they
leave the school, and of the more ad
mirable desire on the part of the pu-
pills to begin their battle with the
world. and to carve out their destinies
for the future.
The closing number of the program
was a mandolin solo by Miss Elsie
Julia ShOcker, with piano accompani-
ment by Ernest Henning. Miss Shock
er gave The Evening Star" from
Tanhauser. rendering the composition
in a manner that demonstrated her ar
tistic mastery of the instrument.
This evening the commencement ex-
ercises of the class are to be held at
the Illinois theatre, admission being
by ticket only.
