TEARS AND MOURNING

And thus, taken into the Sower-
berry encourage, Oliver learned how
life ended before he really had
learned the way it should begin.
Tears and mourning were easy for
him to disclose and assume for OF
such had his life been fabricated.
Thus he proved a great comfort to
Mr.. Sowerberry even though the
worthy Mrs. Sowerberry resented
the appetite which now contented it
self with something like gratitude,
on the leavings of the family table
twice removed-once from the table
of the Sowerberrys and once from
the table of Noah and Charlotte.
For Noah, being naturally resentful
of divers obvious superiority of
mind and spirit, and vain of his own
superiority physically, constituted
himself the boys tormentor and
daily aggravated the miseries of the
yound lads life by impositions
recklessly cruel.
But one day, young Noah, big
and bully that he was, overstepped
the bounds of safety. Little Oliver
was laboriously scrubbing the stone
floor of the basement in which the
cooking was done and Noah was
seated at the table watching with
amorous gaze the ungentle Char
lotte as she attended to the prepa-
rations for the next meal.
The question of divers dubious
parentage was one that Noah liked
most to dwell upon with ever in
creasing malice.
"Hey, Work'us; who Uuz your
mother"
II don't know, Sir; my mother is
dead" said Oliver pausing at his
work.
Dead, huh;" commented Noah, a
sneer on his face, "it's good thing
she is. I'll bet she wuz bad uni"
! Crimson with fury, Oliver started
up, the heavy, drenched cloth in his
hand. In size he compared with
Noah as David to Goliath. He hit
his enemy quite as squarely with
the sodden rags, the weight of
which toppled the unsteadily poised
Claypole who, chair and all, fell to
the floor, his head, somewhat for
tunately for Oliver, submerged in
the water that filled the tub that the
smaller boy had failed to move. In
an instant the maddened Olive
raging within, was upon the h.lp-
less Noah. What might have hap
pened is a problem for prophets;
but, fortunately for Noah, Charlotte
voiced her fears in such lusty man.

tete with her swain to attend the
aged woman who lay stricken on
the very bed where but few short
years ago her withered hands had
swaddled the infant Oliver and had
robbed the young woman whose de-
parting soul had scarcely time to
say "hail and farewell" to the ar
irving soul of her babe.

them if it isn't too late and restore
Oliver to his rights. Promise me
you'll do this. I cannot die in peace
unless you do"
Had Mrs. Corney the imagination
of a dumb animal or the conscience
of a serpent she might have been af-
fected by this confession and even
thus tardily have brought Oliver in
to the haven Of his proper environ
ment.
But, fortunately or not, Oliver
knew nothing of all this as he re-
fected on his lot and contemplated
means of escape; for he had OBJ
served two items of an equation
that might conclude in his release
the pile of coal and the coal-hole in
the sidewalk above him. He reason
ed that where load of coal could
be put in, a boy could get out and
in that faith proceeded to heap up
the coal until it's peak was as high
as the supply of fuel would provide.
He found that by standing on the
top he could just reach to the aper-
ture now covered but not locked
save by its own weight. By dint of
great exertion, much perspiration
and some prayer-the trilogy OF
causes invariably conducive to sue
cess-he managed to lift the metal
lid and slide it over onto the side
walk far enough to permit his
egress.
1t was dawn. The light of gray
day was breaking in the east. With
out knowing whittier, Oliver ran to-
wards the suburbs of the town. His
immediate purpose was to get away
from Sowerberry's and the Work
house. Later he'd direct his course
to-London.
Of divers adventures, mishaps
and miseries trudging his way to-
wards the city of his dreams, we
shall not write, but will be content
if something said in these made
auate terms would direct the reader
to the masterwork of which this is
but the poorest dilution and atrnn-
uation, and to the. picture-play
which visualizes them in vivid and
stirring screened images.
Early on the seventh morning of
his toilsome journey Oliver limped
slowly into the little town OF Bar
net. The sun was rising in all its
splendid beauty; but the light only
served to show the boy his own des-
olation as he sat, with bleeding feet,
upon a cold doorstep. He had been
sitting thus for a long time when ne
observed that boy who had passed
some minutes before had returned
and was surveying him studiously.
Hello, my covey, what's the
row." he asked in rather unintel-
ligable language.
"I'm very tired and hungry" an
swered Oliver frankly. 'I've been
walking seven days"

The boy whistled and gave HIM
self up to reflection.
Finally he said. Don't fret your
self on that score. I've got to be
in London tonight; and l know a
merry old gentleman as lives there,
wot'll give you lodgings for nothink
if any genelman he knows inter-
duces you. And doesn't he know
me? Oh, no! Not in the least! By
no means. Certainly not!"
For reasons likewise not COM
pletely revealed, "Tke Artful Dodg-
err" preferred to make his official
appearance in London after night
had fallen.

took circumstantial evidence for
what the suffering Ciaypole made
it worth, and consigned Oliver to
the coal-hole beneath the sidewalk,
left him there with the terror-in-
spring information that on the
morrow, back to the Workhouse he'd
go.
Bad as were his circumstances
with Mr.. Sowerberry, they were bet
ter than they were at the Work
house, reflected the forlorn Oliver,
who, though he had not the ironical
wit to voice the fact, yet dinnly real
lied that it was better for him that

Cliff Timber for violins.

Valuable violins are being manufac-
tured from wood taken from the ruins
of cliff dwellers near Aztec, n. NJ.
While eXcavating recently Carl Nor
ris, research investigator for the
Smithsonian institution, found a num-
Der of perfectly preserved timbers
which are believed to have been used
in constructing the homes of the cliff
dwellers.
The dwellings were estimated to be
over thousand years old, and, due
to the dry, hot climate that prevails in
the vicinity Of the ruins, the wood has
become so well seasoned that high
class violins are being made from 1t
which have a tone, it is said, equal to
that of an instrument that has been in
use for a number of years.
The instruments are all of fine quail
ity and are bringing high prices.-Kan-

CAN'T BEAT EN-

Washington.-When the railroad
shop mems strike was at it's height,
rail managers assured the public:
"Poof. This is nothing. Business as
usual"
Now these managers intend using
strike losses to maintain high freight
rates.
Reports by "hard-boiled" eastern
rail managers who led the fight show
that for September their operating
expenses increased 1877 per cent over
those of the same period in 1921.
The cost of the strike is made more
impressive by the added statement
that in September the roads expend-
ed $120,000,000 for maintenance of
equipment, an increase of 1871 per
cent over the same month year ago.
