CONDENSED CLASSICS
A TALE OF TWO CITIES
By CHARLES DICKENS
Condensation by Mlu Sara A. Hamlin
Chatlea John Huffam Dicken* wa. bom Feb. 7, 1812, at
Enjland, where hi. father wa. « clerk in the Navy P,y oi&c<,. He died at
' Gad»hill Place, in Kent, on June 9, 1870.
tti* dreamt 01 wriiiug v«u.v — —— ,
as a boy he read breathlessly the battered novels in
his father's library. He became a reporter on th«
London newspapers, and wrote (1836) "Sketches by
Box/' wherein are, in miniature, all the abounding
virtues of his xxovels.
The "Pickwick Papers" (1837) were a great suc
cess. Their inimitable rollicking humor captivated the
English reading world. His first extended novel was
"Oliver Twist" (1838), followed by "Nicholas Nickle
by" (1838-39), "Old Curiosity Shop" and "Barnaby
Rudge" (1840-41). He produced some 16 major
novels, the last, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"
(1870) being unfinished. "David Copperfield" (1859
60), held by many to be his masterpiece, and by not a
few to be the greatest story ever written, is supposed
to be semi-autobiographical. Many of his novels were
published in installments, and never before or since
has any literary publication excited such a furore.
After his initial successes, Dickens' life was a
triumphal procession, saddened only by domestic un
happiness. He visited America, where his works were
even more popular than in England, in 1842 and
1867-68.
He wrote in his will his own best epitaph, "1 rest
my claims to the remembrance of my country on aty
publishecf works." He might well have substituted
"»li« world tor lt>y couniry# • « • • it. .1 •
Perhaps the quality that di.tingui.hcs his novol. among al> other, it
their abounding humor.
*CoI. Thomas Newcome, the hero of
Argorn. ami of Bhartpour, had loved
the beautiful Leonore d<S Blols, hut
having incurred the wrath of his step
mother, he fled to India to carve out
his career. There he had married
the widow, Mrs. Casey, and a few
years later s"nt their son Olive to Eng
land. He regaled the ladles of the
regiment with Olive's letters; sport
ing young nieu would Rive or take
odds that the colonel would mention
Olive's name once before five minutes,
or three times in ten minutes. But
those who laughed at ClWe's father
laughed very klncft.
At last the happy time camo for
which the colocel had been longing,
and he took leave of his regiment. In
England, he had In his family circle
two half brothers. Sir Brian, who had
married Lady Ann, daughter of the
Earl of Kew, and ilobsoo Newcotne.
One morning at breakfast while Sir
Brian chuinped his dry toast. Barnes,
the sou. said to his sister Ethel: "My
uncle, the colonel of sepoys, and his
amiable son have been paying a visit
to Newcome."
"You are always sneering about our
uncle," broke In Ethel, "and saying
unkind things about Olive. Our uncle
is a dear, good, kind umn, and I love
him."
At llobson Newcome's and else
where the family party often assem
bled. the colonel, his friend Sir. Binnle
aud Binnie's sister, Mrs. Mackenzie
with her daughter Rosev, Sir Brian
and Lady Ann, and Olive who had
become a painter. From one of these
parties Olive and I. his friend Arthur
l'etidennls, walked with the usual Ha
vana to light us home. "I can't help
thinking." said the astute Olive, "that
they fancied 1 was In love with Ethel.
.Now, 1 suppose, they thiub I am en
gaged to llosey. She is as good a
little creature as can be. and never out
of temper, though I fancy Mrs. Mac
kenzie tries her."
Time passed and our Mr. Olive went
to Baden, where he found old Lady
Kew with her granddaughter Ethel.
"You have uo taste for pictures, onlj
for painters, 1 suppose," said Lady
Kew one day to Ethel.
j "I was n<>t looking at the picture."
said Eiitel. "but at the little green
ticket In the corner. I think, grand
mamma," she said, "we young ladles
In the world ought to have little green
tickets pinned on our backs, with 'sold'
written on them."
j Barnes Newcome. too. was at Baden,
for he was to marry pretty little Lady
C'lnra Pulleyn. free at last from that
undesirable Ja<-k Belsize, Lord High
gate's son. Lady Kew nau pians
1 which Clive's growing regard fur Ins
cousin Ethel put In jeopardy.
"My good young mnn, I thiuk It Is
time you were off." Laily Kew said to
Clive with great good humor. "I have
been to see that poor little creature
to whom Captain Belslze behaved so
cruelly. She does not care a fig for
• him—not one fig. She Is engaged, as
you know, to my grandson Barnes;
in all respects a most eligible union;
mill Ethel's engagement to my grand
son. Lord Kew, has long been settled.
When we saw you in London, we heard
1 that you too were engaged, to a young
j lady in yoiir own rank of life—Miss
j Mackenzie."
Olive's departure led to more flirta
tions by Ethel than old Lady Kew
could countenance, but Ethel had
found out how undesirable a mnn Lord
Kew was. and broke the engagement
so dear to her grandmother's heart.
When Clive heard that the engage
ment was over between Kew and Ethel
j he set out in haste for London. I was
I Installed as confidant, and to me Clive
said: "Mrs. Mackenzie bothers me so
I hardly know where to turn, and poor
little Itosey is made to write me a
note about something twice a day.
Oh Pen! I'm up another tree now I"
Clive met his cousin Ethel at a party
or two in the ensuing weeks of the
season, and at one of their meetinp
Ethel told him that her grandmother
would not receive him. It was then
that Clive thought Ethel worldly, al
though much of her attitude was due
! to the keen and unreieuting Lady
Kew. Tne colonel and James Binnie
| during all this time put their two fond
heads together, and Mrs. Mackenzie
Puttered both of them and Clive «s
well.
Meanwhile the Lady C:."-n was not
buppy with tier Humes. All the life
and spirit hail been crushed out of the
girl, consigrted to cruel usage, lone
liness, and to bitter recollections of
the past. Jack ltelslze, now Lord
nighgate. could stand the strain no
longer, and took Lady Clara away
froui her bullying but cowardly hus
band. The elopement of Clara open
ed Ethel's eyes to the misery of love
less marriages, and the mamma of her
new love, the Marquis of Fnclntosb.
already distressed over the unpleas
ant notoriety of the proposed New
come alliance, received a letter from
Ethel which set her son free.
Ethel then turned to the lonely,
motherless children of her brother
Barnes, and found comfort Id devoting
herself to them. Cllve married his
Rost-y, and his father determined to
become a member of parliament In
placo of Sir Humes. One night the
colonel, returning from bis election
eering. met Cllve, candle In hand. As
each saw the other's face, It was so
very sad and worn and pale, that Col
onel Newcome with quite the tender
ness of old days, cried "God bless me.
my boy. bow III you look! Come and
warm yoursel f, CI ivy 1"
"1 have seen a ghost, father," Cllve
said, "the ^liost of my youth, father,
the ghost of my happiness, anil the
best days of my life. I saw Ethel to
day."
"Nay, my boy, you mustn't talk to
me s». You have the dearest little
wife at home, a dear little wife and
child."
"You had a wife; but that doesn't
prevent other—other thoughts. Do
you know you new spoke twice In
your life about my mother? You didn't
care for her."
"I—I did my duty by her," Inter
posed tlie colonel.
"I know, but Jour heart was with
the other. So Is mine. It's fatal, It
runs In tiie family, father."
The shares of the Dundelcund Iiank
1ns company in which the colonel had
made his fortune now declined stead
ily. mid at last the crash came, wiping
out all the colonel's money and with
It nil Kosey's fortune. The Im
poverished Newcomcs settled down
tirst at lioulofctie. and then in London,
the colonel weary, feeble, white hair
ed, Mrs. Mackenzie a perfect ter
magant, Rosey pale and ailing, and
little Tommy, the baby, a comfort
and a care to the hard-worked Cllve.
The colonel, no longer able to live
tinder the same roof with Mrs. Mac
kenzie. found a home with the Grey
Friars, and here 1 saw him.
When the colonel's misfortunes were
at their worst, t-.uiei m reading nn on:

stepmother between the covers. It
whs a memorandum ot a proposed be
quest to Cltve. Kthel at once deter
milled to carry out tills Intended be
quest. nnd so she and I hastened to
Olive's home: but not even (rood news
could soften -Mrs. Mackenzie's evil
temper. That was a sad mid wretch
ed nisht, in which Mrs. Mackenzie
stormed until the poor delicate Kosey
fell Into the fever to which she owed
her death. We soon repaired to Ihe
Grey Friars where we found tl.at the
colonel was in -his last illness. He
talked loudly, hp pave the word of
command, spoke Hlndustnuee as if to
his men. Then he spoke words in
French rapidly, seizing a hand that
was near him. and crylns, "toujours.

old man talked on rapidly for awhile:

voice he called for the lore of his
youth "I/eonore, Leonorc!" The pa
tient's voiCH sank into faint murmurs:
only a moan now and then announced
that he was not asleep.
.At the usual evening hour the chapel
bell began to toil, and Thomas New
come's hands outside the bed feebly
beat a time. And just as the last bejl
struck, a peculiar sweet umiie shone
ever his fuce. and he lifted np his

"Peggy, the way you act you'd thick
thut you were sis Instead of sixteen."
The reproving voice of her oldei
brother aroused Peggy from her ab
sorbing task of fitting together the
•parts of a picture puzzle.
"Raymond, I'm seventeen I I guess
you forget I" was her Indignant an
swer.
"Well, I do wish that you would act
like it, then. What would Dick think
of you if he saw you now?"
IJer brother spoke with all the
dignity mid "man of the world" air
which he had acquired a short time
previous when he had fully realized
that he had the right to vote.
Dick was a former schoolmate o
Raymond s, and from the first lie had
been Peggy's champion when she was
just a little schoolgirl with golden
curls and short dresses. Now that sh<
was older, their friendship was fast
becoming stronger.
"Oh, he wouldn't care, Ray Hardy;
he's used to It, and—"
"Now, listen here, Peggy! Whm
would you say if I told you that Dick
is gettiug tired of your childish ways.
Why, only the other day—well, J
shan't say a'tiy more. Hut really.
Peggy, when will you ever grow up?"
Peggy was made speechless by the
suggestion, that Dick was getting tired
of her.
For the rest or trim any reggy was
very mysteriously busy In her room,
itnil even her mother wus cautioned
not to enter; ^ind that evening, with
smiling eyes, she n;rain surveyed her
self In the mirror.
"Oh. you nre perfect 1" she told her
self frankly In the mirror. "I'd never
know you If I met yoit on the street!"
With a sudden Impulse thnt th(
thought suggested she started toward
her desk and caught up the telephone
"Oh, mother that—O-o-o." Her voice
trailed away as u plan entered bei
mischievous liead, for the calendar
showed that the day was April 1
With a happy little laugh, she caught
up the receiver and Impatiently wait
ed for her number.
"Why didn't I think of It before, It's
such a corking Idea!"
I "Oh! Ilello, Dick. Listen. Never
mind coming all the way up to the
house after me tonight. I'll meet yon
I down at th? station. Why? Oil. never
mind"; I'll fell you tonight. Yes* yes.
I'll be on time. Ilye."
During the evening meal Peggy wns
so quiet her brother cast suspicious
glances in her direction.
| "She's up to something—wonder
what It is';" and *t hen the matter en
tirely slipped his mMil until. Just as
she rose from the table, she 'calmly
told her mother that she was going to
meet Dick down at the station, as It
was too much for him to come all the
I way up.
| A few minutes laier n puzzled yoniip
mnn, comparing his watch with the
, station clock and Qudiug that they
agreed, decided that, in spite of her
, promise to be on time, Peggy was late
"Who was that little Jane over there
who lon!;<d at me so ijueerly? Looked
rather fumi'dar to me." was hl>
thouglit. 11s l'eggy passed by on the
other side of the walk, and he turned
to watch the door where she was due
to arrive.
Congratulating herself on the suc
cess of her little .loke. Peggy had re
traced her steps and was approaching
Dick when a surprising thing hap
pened. Dick had started forward with
both hands outstretched to meet a
pretty girl who had come up to hln
with a little exclamation of surprise
mid pleasure, and, startled. Peggy
watched the warm greeting which
passed between the two.
She watched from there while Dick
talked to the girl, and repeatedly—
guiltily lVggy thought—watched lh<
door
On reaching home she entered the
stttins niuin, i"i mi- i>.in
she would "face the nmsic" then anil
there.
To her surprise Dick was there—
and the girl! Then, as 110 one spoke
she remembered that she, was still In
the same attire which hod so com
pletely fooled Dick.
"Oh. It's only I—Peggy," she ex
claimed. throw-ins her veil hack im
patiently.
"Why. res." tame her brother's
voice, "I'd never know you 1 You look
stunning."
"That mu«t have been you that
passed me when I—oh, I see—" As
the full significance of the thought
struck hint Dick knew what the trouble
with Peggy was, and crossed the room
to her side.
"Oh, Peggy," pretending not to no

Began the Collar Tyranny.
The earliest pictorial proof of the
use of ilie collar proper dates frum
Elizabethan times, when the ruff was
the principal form 'if neckwear. After
this gold and silver vellum frinees
were the fashion for ft considerable
period, these being supplanted by col
lars siiiillnr to those worn today, save
for the fart that they formed parr of
the shirt. Rut tills arrangement was
an extravagant one. As soon as a col
lar was soiled the shirt had to I>e shfd
for washing purposes.
Origin of Attar cf Roses.
I Tradition says that the scout of £t
tar of rose? originated through a cer
tain snltnna ordering a fountain in
her gard'-n to he kept supplied with
rose-water. The action of the sun
presently concentrated the oily par
ticles which rose to the surface, and
the gardener, supposing the water to
have become corrupt, skleaned off the
floating oil. In this operation some of
the globules burst, releasing a delight
fragrance,
