THE NEWCOMES
By WILLIAM M. THACKERAY
Ccncimation by Charta K. Bolton, Librarian of the Bttlon Athenaeum
William Makepeace Thackeray, ion of a civil aervant in India, was
»«.rn July 18, 1811, in Calcutta. He died Dec. 24, 1863, in London, where
most of his life was spent. From 1840 on his wife
was insane, so there lived in his heart, as in that of
the other great humorist of his time, Dickens, con
stant sorrow.
Thackeray began in school days rather to absorb
life than to attain scholarship. He delighted even
then to reproduce it in comic verse and caricature. At
Cambridge, in Weimar, in Paris art schools a.id Lon
don law school, ha went gayly on his way, indolent
in study but eager in friendship, ardent in life. At
21, he owned and managed a London newspaper, at
25 he was penniless, affer scattering a comfortable
fortune. But he had bought experience invaluable
to the young journalist, priceless to the novelist.
Thackcray's astonishing versatility was early real
ized. He aspired to illustrate Dickon's novels; he
wrote travel sketches, stories, ballads and burlesques.
"Barry Lyndon," his first notable novel, was the
history of a rascal; but, in the most fascinating of
feminine rascals, Becky Sharp, Thackeray first bril
liantly showed himself master in the creation of living
charactcr ("Vanity Fair," 1846-48). "Pendennis"
(1849-50) was, like Dickens' "David Copperfield,*' in
essence autobiographical. The need of money drove
Thackeray reluctantly to the lecture-field. His course
on Eighteenth Century Humorists, popular in England
and America (1851), prepared the ground for "Es
mond" (1852), his unsurpassed historical novel. "The
Newcomet (1854), 1 he Virginians (1859), and tk«
unfinished "Dennis Duval," complete th. list of his best novels.
Ou 11 cold November night, in tho
year 1775, the English mail coach, on
Us way from Loudon to Dover, was
currying uuiong Its passengers u Mr.
Jurvis Lorry, a London buuker of llie
well-known tirm of Tellsou & Co. As
the couch stumbled along iu the dark
ness, lliere arose before him Ihe vision
of uu emaciated tigure with huir pre
maturely white. All uight between
him and the spectre the same words
repeated themselves again and again.
"Buried how lougV
"Almost eighteen years."
"1 hope "you care to live?"
"1 can't say."
About eighteen years before the story
opeus. It. Mane tie, a prominent young
physiciuu of l'aris, had suddenly disap
peared. Everything was dons' to dis
cover some trace of him, but iu vain.
The loss of her husband Caused his
wife such anguish that she resolved
to brin^ tip her little daughter in iguo
rauce of her father's fate; and when In
two years she died, she left little Lucie
under the guardianship of Tellson &
Co.." to whose c.iro Dr. Muuctte for
many years had Intrusted his tluancial
Affairs.
Strai.ce tidings concerning the Doc
tor had just come from l'aris, and Mr.
Lorry was on his way to meet his
ward, and explain to her the facts of
her early life. This was a duty from
which the kind-hearted banker shrank,
and when he saw the slight gulden
haired girl who came to meet him. his
heart almost failed him; but h.s task
wits accomplished at iast.
"Arid now," concluded Mr. I.orry,
"your father has been found, lie is
alive, greatly changed, but alive, lie
has been taken .» the house of it for
u <t si rvant in l'aris. and we nre going
there. I to Identify him, you to restore
him to life and love."
Tile servant that sheltered Dr. Ma
neite was a man by tlio name of De
furge wh», with his wife, kept a wine
shop in the obscure district of St. An
t line. The banker and Lucie were
taken to an attic where a haggard.
.vhite-l;:iired m m sat on a low bench,
making shoes. a wreck of a man. ob
livious of all around him.
Again nns the Channt i crossed, find
asain !'i- o! '■ inquiry whispered In the
e: ■ of Jarvis Lorry:
"1- ; ymi cure to tie recaneu in

"I cnn't say."
Five years Inter. In the court room
■>f the OH Bailey In London, a young
Frenchman was on trial for tils life.
Near liim sat an untidy indi
vidual by the name of Sydney Carton.
With his eyes lived on the ceiling, he
was unobservant, apparently, of all
that passed around him; but it was lie,
who. first noticing the extraordinary
resemblance between the prisoner and
Mm- - .', rescued Charles Darnay from
the ■. • '> ..f deceit which had been spuu
around hliu.
Between these two young men. the
striking resemblance was !n outwurd
appearance only. Charles Darnnv was
of noble birth; but his ancestors had
for many years so cruelly oppressed
the French peasantry that the name of
Kvremondo was hated and despised.
Wholly unlike them In character, tills
last descendant of his race had given
up his name and estate, and had come
to England as a private gentlemnn.
eager to begin life anew.
Sydney Carton was a young English
lawyer, brilliant in intellect, but stead
ily deteriorating through his life of
dlssiimtion. able to advise others but
unable to guide himself, "conscious of
the blight on him and resiguing him
self to let it eat him away."
He and Darnay soon beenme fre
quent visitors at the small house In
Sol.:) square, the home of Dr. Manette
and his daughter. Through Lucie's
care htid devotion, the Doctor had al
most wholly recovered from the effects
of his bug Imprisonment, and It was
only in times of strong excitement that
any trace of his past insanity could be
detected. The sweet face of Lucie
Manette soon won the hearts of both
the young men, but it was Darnay to
whom she gave her love.
And so that interview between Lucie
and Sydney Carton has a pathos that
wrings our hearts. He knew that even
If his love could have been returned, it
would have added only to his bitter
ness and sorrow, for he felt It would
have been powerless to lift him from,
the siough of S lfi-hness and Sensu
ality ih:it had engulfed him. But he
could uut resist tliis last sad confes
sion of Ills love; and when she weeps
at the sorrow of which she has beeu
the lunoceut cause, he Implores: "Do
not weep, dear Miss X^anette; the lifel
lead reuders me unworthy of your
pure love. My Inst supplicatiou Is this:
Think now and then that there is a
man who would give his lil^ to keep a
life you love beside you."
Hut dark days were to come. !u the
year 17»l>, the downtrodden French
. peasantry turned upon their oppres
sors. The streets of Paris were tilled
with crowds of people whose eager
I cry was for "blood." Madame Defarge
no longer sat behind the counter of her
small wine-shop, silently knlttlug Into
her work the names of her hated
enemies, but axe in hand and knife at
her belt, headed a frenzied mob of
women on to the Bastile. The French
Revolution hud actually begun.
.Madame Defarge was one of the
I leading spirits of the Revolution. Early
I In life she had seen her family fail
| victims to the tyranny and lust of the
| cruel nobility and from that time her
| life had been devoted to revenge.
| Three \ears of crime and bloodshed
passed, and in 171>J, Mr. Jurvls Lorry
and Charles Duruay lauded in l'arls,
the former to protect the French
branch of Tel I son Jc Co., aud the latter
lo befriend ail old family servant who
had besought his help. Not until they
had set toot in Paris did they realize
into uliat a caldron of fury they had
plunged. Mr. l.orry, on account of his
business relations, was allowed his
freedom, but Darnay was hurried at
once to the prison of La Force, there
to nwiiit his trial. The reason given
for :h • outrage was the new law for
the arivs. of all returning French
emigrants, but the true cause was that
I he had been recognized us Charles
| Kvreuioiide.
[ Tl su tidings soon readied l«o:i<b>n,
| and 1".'. Mauctte, with his daughter
I Lucl.-, hastened to Paris, fur he felt
| sure that iiis long confinement in Hip
llasiile would win for lilni the syiu
j-ailiy of the French people. and thus
I enable him t>> save his son-in-law.
! Days nml months passed, and although
the Doctor succeeded in gaining a
promise that Darnay's life should be
| spareif. the latter was not allowed to
leave !:Is prison.
I At i.ist came the dreadful year of
! the Itdgn of Terror. The sympathy ,
I which at tirst had been given to Dr.
I M.-inctte hail become wenkenctkthroush
the iullitence of the bloodthirsty
| Madame Defargv. Also. Uiere had beeti
found in the'ruins of the Bastlle a pa
per w hich contained Or. Mauette's ac
l count of his own abduction and Im
prisonment, and pronouncing a solemn
curse upon the House of Evreuionde
and their descendants, who were de
clared to be the authors of his eighteen
years of misery. Charles Darnay's
doom was sealed. "Back to the Con
clergerle and death within twenty-four
hours."
To Sydney Carton, who had followed
his friends to Paris, came an inspira
tion. Find he not promised I.ttcie that
he would die to save a life she loved?
P.y bribery, he gains admittance to the
pri- >n; Pari,ay is removed unconscious
front the cell, and Carton sits down to J
await his fate.
Along the Paris streets six tumbrils
are carrying the day's-wine to la gull- I
lotlne. In the third car sits a young i
man with his hands bound. As the
cries from the street arise against him I
| they only move liitu to a quiet smile as I
| he shakes more loosely his hair ubout I
i his face.
Crush! A hor.il Is ne!d up and the :
knitting-woim-n who are ranged about
| the scaO'old count "One."
The third cart comes up and the sup
posed IJvremonde descends. His lips
j move, forming the words, "a life you
love."
Th • murmuring of many voices, the
[ upturning of many faces, then all
flashes away.
"Twenty-three!"
"I ttm 'he resurrection and the life,
salth the I.ord: he that helieveth In
me, though he were dead, yet shall he
live; and whosoever llvetli and he
lieveth in me shall never die."

STARLIGHT
By MADGE WESTON.
(Copyright. l»-0. Western Newspaper Union.)
She was the most perplexing girl,
Billy thought, that he had ever met,
and yet—the most charming. Itiseiuy
had seut him out to this forsaken vil
lage of a past time to value a cer
tain blooded horse, which was offered"
for sale. Itiselay did not know much
about horseflesh, hut Itiselay had
plenty of money, and It occurred to
him that it might be amusing to can
tev occasionally around the park. _
The straggling house on the hill, at
which the town driver left him, pre
sented to Billy upon first approach, a
comfortable air of olden-time hospital
ity. It was a great shabby house, Billy
found, but Its lady mistress still prac
ticed that old-time hospitality.
"The hotel Is but a poor place," she
told Billy graciously, "and It will be
a pleasure for us to accommodate you
In our own home."
Mr. Biselay, It seemed, was known
through 'mutual friends, and Billy, as
Mr. Itiselay's representative, would
be gladly entertained during his brief
sojourn. The old lady's tone was so
wistful as she made the suggestion
that he fancied In It an eagerness for
companionship. It was not until "tea
time" that he met the daughter, who
was, Billy thought, "the sweetest girl
that he had ever seen." But while
her charm drew him her attitude of
sadness held him aloof.
She was very silent, this blue-eyed
girl. In her mother's presence only
did she appear gay or light-hearted;
so witty and merry then that Billy
wondered if this could he thessame
creature who walked sighing and un
responsive by his side through the
garden.
For Blllle's sojourn had not been
brief as It was expected. On the first
evening of his arrival lie had tele
phoned Itiselay to the effect that the
horse was not in a fair condition to
be judged.
Tlia animal was n beautiful one, un
doubtedly, but had been taken with
some sort of liorse distemper. He de
cided It wiser to wait about while he
Indulged In that Ions wlshcd-for "fish
ing vacation." lie had persuaded his
lady hostess, so he said, to accept
board for the time of his stay. "Mil
she's a proud old dame," Billy told
RIselay.
Life at the bill house was very pleas
ant. Cynthia, as the '"sweetest ^irl"
was called, escorted Billy usually to
promising fishing vicinities—sitting
sometimes there absorbed and retro
spective at his side, ^r flashing nt him
occasionally her rare and reassuring
smile. Hilly had days ago admitted
to himself the fact—he was In love; j
truly, disturbingly In love for the first
time In his honest life.
Mrs. Hawthorne, whom he thought
of only as Cynthia's mother, tobl him
rellevedl.v how glad they would he to
be rid of Starlight. Starlight was
the name of the hor«e who moped and
stamped In his stable.
Cynthia intended io buy a car, Mrs.
Huwtiiorue said, casually. It would '
be more convenient for them to get
about. ,\!.d Cynthia bending over the
credentials of Starlight, which she
was showing, flushed suddenly and
pointed out to Billy that the price
asked for him was not at all ex
orbitant. At last when there was no
further excuse to postpone judgment
as fer !>s Starlight was concerned,
Billy paid unhesitatingly the price Im
posed and endeavored vainly upon his
Inst night to see the girl alone. But
Cynthia was deliberately perverse. I
With sinking heart Billy realized that
though aware of the words he would
say Cynthia did not wish to hear
them. Vet half triumphantly Billy had
fancied that he had read In Cynthia's
clear eyes not only knowledge of his
love, but a promise of Its return, lie
wished that he might fathom the un
certainty of her—this half admission—
this cold reluctance.
iviriy upon hip morning <u "is ut?
pnrturo. Rilly arose and wont out to
the stables. Tiiotiirh the first dew was
on the cross. Cynthia wns there before
him. Unaware of his approach she
stood, her arms about the horse's
neck, her face against li!s while mane.
"Starlight, Starlight," sobbed the
girl, "would 1t help you In being sep
arated from me. I wonder, to know
that you are buying our very bread
and butter—that we are so beastly
poor, boy. we mlsht have to starve
without— Oh!" she gasped at sight of
Billy in the doorway, then laughed.
"\\'ell. you know the truth at last,"
she said, "though mother voithl die if
she thought you did—or any of the
Iilselays. Oh! if I had the heart to
Jeave her alone here." cried the nirl,
"and go away and earn our living."
Her voice broke tremulously.
"You can't think how one can get to
love a horse," she cried, "when the
faithful anltnnl is one's only com
panion. We've both been fretting over
our parting, haven't we Starlight?
Good-bv." she told Billy abruptly, and
put out her haml bravely smiling.
Over Blllip's fa<*o swept a wave of
Joyful understanding.
"So that's been the trouble," he ex
claimed. "Well, I'm going to take your
horse to Biselay, but he will be mine
soon. Old Biselay will give me any
thing that I want, for a wedding pres
ent."
For an Instant very evident alarm
showed In Cynthia's surprised blue
eyes.
"Onr wedding present. I should have
ssl''." Billy evpla'ned boldly.
Aud thus he made his proposal.
