AN INNOCENT VICTIM.

The Original of Squeers Died of a
Broken Heart.
The grossest injury which Dickens
ever inflicted on fellow being was
his too accurate portrait of an inno-
cent man in his Squeers. That York
shire schoOlmasterS were. as n rule
cruel and wicked enough it is true. but
the particular schoolmaster who was
recognized and who recognized him
self as the original Squcers seems to
nave been an exception to the rule.
1t will be remembered that Dickens
and his illustrator Travelled together
to the north Of England for the DUR
pose of collecting material for "Nick-
leby and especially for the Dothe-
boys episode. At Greta Bridge they
visited n boarding school known as
Bowes academy. The master, William
Shaw, received the strangers with
some hauteur and did not rs much as
withdraw his eyes from the operation
of pcnmaking during the interview.
Phiz skctched him in the act: Dick
ems described the act The personal
pcculiarities Of William Shaw were
recognized in Squeers. Shaw became
butt of popular ridicule. lost his pu
pills and finally died Of a broken heart
Yet there is abundant evidence TO
prove that he was really excellent
and kind hearted man, who was made
