THE SOUL OF NANCY

Make 'em your model" the old
gentleman admonished Oliver con-
stantly, referring of course to Char
ley Bates and the Dodger. "Do
everything they bid you and take
their advice in all matters-espe-
cially the Dodgers, my dear. He'll
be great man and will make you
one, too, if you take pattern by him.
Is my handkerchief hanging out OF
my pocket, my dear?"
"Yes, SIR" said Oliver.
''See if you can take it out with
out my feeling it."
Oliver held up the bottom of the
pocket with one hand, as he had
seen the Dodger hold it, and drew
the handkerchief. lightly out of it
with the other.

gentleman.
Here it is, sir" said Oliver.
you're clever boy, my dear"
For many days Oliver remained
in Fagin's room picking the marks
out of handkerchiefs and sometimes
taking part in the game described.
At length, however, he began to lam
guish for fresh air and entreated
the old gentleman to allow him to
go out 10 work with his two COM
panions.
One morning, Oliver obtained the
permission he had SO eagerly sought.
There had been no handkerchiefs to
work upon for two or three days.
The three boys sailed forth; the
Dodger with his coat-sleeves tucked
up and his hat cooked as usual;
Charley Bates sauntering along with
his hands in his pockets; and Oliver
between them, wondering.
they were just emerging from a
narrow court in Clerkenwell, called
"rhe Green" where the Dodger
made a sudden stop, and, laying his
finger on his lip, drew his com
pan.ons back again with the great
est caution.
What's the matter?' demanded
Oliver.

Nancy found that Oliver had been
taken from the court by the old gen.
tleman whose pocket he was sup
posed to have picked and by that
worthy and sorrowful old man had
been taken, the, police didn't know
where.
bill, my DEAR" said Fagin to his
friend, Mr.. Bill Skies, murderer,
we've got to get that boy back. He
means a lot of money TO u.s." Bill
dropped his customary contemptu-
Gus attitude with his partner" and
listened carefully while Fagin ex-
planned to him why it was necessary
that Oliver should be committed to
life of dishonor.
With returning health, Oliver re-
joiced in his surroundings. He told
his friend, Mr. Brownlow, about his
life at the workhouse, at Sowerber-
RVS and later at Fagin's. To the
horror of the good people, he gave
an imitation of the merry old gen.
tleman teaching him how to pick
pockets and it was not necessary
for him to assert how he had been
made to think it was but game.
Needless to say, Mr.. Brownlow
and Mrs. Bedwin believed divers
story implicitly; but Mr.. Brownlow
had friend, Mr.. Grimwig, who
thought it was sign of weakness
ever to agree with anybody. Ac-
cordingly, he assured his friend, Mr..
Brownlow, that he would regret his
kindness to the lad, for it was clear
to him (Mr. Grimwig) that Oliver
was born to evil.
Very WE'LL" answered Mr..
Brownlow one day when Grimwig
was unusually persistent in the ut
terance of his suspicious. ~ will
prove to you that Oliver is trust
worthy"
Calling the boy to him, he en-
trusted him with tive ty-pouni
note, some books and the commits
sion to go TO the bookstall to pay his
bill, and "be sure that you are back
in fifteen minutes" said Mr.. Brown
low.
Putting his watch on the table in
front of him, Mr.. Brown'ow resu.n-
ed his chair, Mr. Grimwig sat in his,
and both stared at the dial of the
watch. 1t grew so dark that the fig
ures on the face of the watch were
no longer discernible.
CIR nwig's doubt produced its own
evidence; Oliver was caught. Nancy
and Bill, haunting the district
through which the boy had to pass,
him with such speed and
energy as persuaded the casual pass
ers-by that Oliver was indeed the
naughty little brother that had run
away from home," as described in
tenderness by Nancy
At Mr.. Fagin's it was but the
work of few minutes to reduce
Oliver to the condition of rags and
desolation in which he had lived up
to the time of his arrest, and now,
with all his illusions gone and the
blank misery of his condition star
ing him in the face, Oliver sought in
vain for peaceful, restful sleep.
I'll be back, Mr.. Brownlow, in fif-
teen minutes" he murmured in his
,roubled dreams.
divers disappearance shattered
he happiness, but not the faith Of
he Brownlow home. Neither Mr..
nor Mrs. Bedwin believed
hat the gentle lad had betrayed
heir confidence, but were sure he
lad been the victim of some ugly
dot.
And in the days of divers res
oration to the gentle" care of Fa-
hin, Nancy came to regret her part
n the plot for divers destruction.
Divers piteous plight and his dear
awakened in Nancy that
maternal instinct which is latent
wen in the most abandoned of wo-
men.

POSSIBILITIES IN A HOBBY

Interesting, isn't it, how some people apparently quite by
accident hit upon a means of livelihood.
Let me tell you of ar experience of an acquaintance oil
mine. She was forced because of poor health to move from a
large city to the country. Because she dearly loved flowers,
and because the doctor prescribed for her plenty of fresh air
she planned and planned a little flower garden on her place.
Being particularly fond of iris, she gave the larger part OF
her limited garden space up to iris plants. She tried to have
some of all the. different varieties and combinations of which
she had ever seen or heard. Tending them with great care
and much love, these plants grew so luxuriantly and spread
so profusely that her garden Of iris became known and adj
mred by every one in the little town.
One day some n~eighbors, having a social func-
tion, asked ii she would not sell some of her iris to them for
decoration. G~ladly'she gave them some, but their request put
an idea into her head. Why not raise iris and sell it, she
thought. Being a person of quick action it didn't take long
for the thought to terminate into an act.
Today she has an iris garden, ten times the size of the
original one, famous throughout all her section of the country,
and from which she secures every year a comfortable income.
Perhaps you have a hobby that has the possibilities of be-
omlng a livelihood. Chance alone won't reveal it unless you
have the keenness to recognize it.

Some Bad Habits

When one sees a grown up with
an ear that is pulled entirely out
from his head we know that when
he was a baby he had the ear-pull-
ing habit. 1t is quite common Tor
some babies to keep at one or the
other ear until it is mlsshaped for
the rest of their lives. Ears OF TINS
type are most dlsiguring and the
habit should be broken as soon as 1t
is begun. To keep the child's arms
with cuffs at the elbow ia
newspaper folded SC that 1t will not
bend) will make it impossible for
him to reach his ear. and the habit
will oe broken, FOR lack of anything
to grow on.
Thumb and finger sucking Ear be
cured in the same way. DO not keep
the arms tied up this way all day
but as soon as the baby begins any
of the habits put the cuff on.
Children sometimes nave manias
for putting things in their ears or
nose-shoe buttons, pebbles, corn
or beans. The child's hands should
be tied so that the lesson of using
them wrongly Will De impressed On
his mind. Naturally such obIects
should also be kept out OF the reach
Some children have the nasty
habit of eating hair or DIRT IN
the latter case such a habit may
arisa from a distinct lack of some
mineral element in the diet, and
then. too. such habits are often met
with in children of below normal
intelligence. Change of diet-and

treatment that can possibly do any
good. as for those children VINO

fully making the pilgrimage to
Mecca. His mothers mind, an UNI
usually fine one, was inherited by
Sir Richard and the advantages of

She was his earliest teacher. and
formed his youthful mind and

in letters and life-a well balanced,
clear minded, logical thinking
woman.
She and her son were at all times

came from a very fine and well ed
ucated family a family which had
always admired the arts. She was
ambitious for her son, and encour-
aget. every sign of talent that she
saw in him. She understood him
perfectly, and believed in permitting
him to exercise his own judgment
wherever possible. In many re-
spects she was a most modern
mother, abandoning many of her
methods of the Victorian era of
which she was a part. She did not
believe in the theory that sparing
the rod necessarily meant spelling
the child. If she had lived today
she would have been considered a
good scout"
Having a decidedly individuality
of her own, she did not try to inn
pose it upon everyone else in the
family. but believed in letting her
CHILDREN develop personalities of
thei. own. She was indeed of the
vanguard of the new motherhood.

The ghosts of the pioneers of Dead

In the days when they took thei'

knitting was hardly recognized as a
manly sport.
If the old dime novels were to be
believed, shooting holes in the plug
hats of the eastern tenCerieet was
the after-dinner pastime which oc-
cupied the leisure hours of all West
erners.
Doubtless the sewing on of a but

the act was demonstrated, constitut-
ed the sole Introduction of the needle
into their lives.
At that, the art of knitting may be

Counting off signals may afford an
