Humor IL more or less secular en-
joyment, and Its suggestion In pictorial
art therefore necessarily has a secular
Significance. And US the chief motive
Of Indian art was religious expression.
seculnrism IN the form Of caricature
was never very much emphasized. R'it
this aspect. though not very frequently
represented. WIS not entirely absent In
Indian art. Even the Oldest records OF
Indian painting bear evidence to the
fact that the sense Of ridicule or sntire
was not altogether divorced from the

DICKENS ROMANCE.
Mis- Early LevA Who Tilted Him, and
Hsr Pathetic End.

Hsr Pathetic End.
was Tilted IL particularly interesting.
When be was eighteen Dickens be-
came acquainted with the three daugh-
tiers Of George Beadnell. II Lombard
street banker. With one Of them.
Maria (the original OF Dora In David
Copperdeld"I. who was u yenr his
senior. he Immediately fell In love. and
Maria nirted with him very desperate
~. But the love making Of the future
novelist was not treated very serious
b.. for he was not considered by any
means an eligible party. and even Ma
ria herself adopted an attitude OF
amused tolerance.
For three years the affair went on,
and then Dickens realized that his case
was hopeless. He pleaded in vain
with the girl. whose caprices madden
I'd and gladdened him alternately. for,
AS matter of fact. Maria Readnell
was a willful cOquette. The end OF 1t
all was reply that held out no hope.
and so the parting came. For twenty
years they saw no more Of one an
other.
Ultimately Maria Beadnell was mar
ried to Henry Louis Winter, and when
Dickens met her again time had
wrought sad havoc on his youthful
ideal. Mrs. Winter wrote to her old
lover. but Dickens did not care to re-
new correspondence with his old
sweetheart. Then MIR. Winter failed
and the chagrined wife appealed to
the lover Of her girlhood for help. but
without avail. and the romance ended
long before the death Of Dickens In

SPECULATION IN WARSTOCKSv VIOLENT The Success of Foreign
 Loan Stimulates
 Trade

New York. October s.-The riot of speculation In war stocks took on a more violent phase last week. Transac- tions ran in excess of million and a half shares for each full session, with a total of about S,250,000 for the six days, while sales of bonds at par value. approximated $sO,O00. .00O Actual news had little to do with the movement. Ru- mors of intended combinations and of contests for control for certain prop critics were widely circulated.
 Speculation was stimulated by the agreement on the half billion dollar loan to Great Britain and France. Lon don joint stock banks were reported to be large borrowers from New York banks to supplement the purpose of the loan. The hardening effect on foreign exchange was little more than moderate. The domestic money market also was but slightly affected.
 Two significant features of the stock market situation were found in the continued backwardness of railroad shares and the state of the bond mar ket Investment issues are holding their own but that Is about all that can be said for this class of securities. The eff feet of the new foreign loan on issues of a high class offers food for conjec- ture.
 International conditions hardly were a market factor, aside from the interest manifested in the new offensive of the allies.
