Hie Early Love, Who Jilted Him, and Her Pathetie End. Tbe story of how Charles Dickens wus lilted is particularly interesting. Wuou he wus eighteen Dickens be came acquainted witb the three daugh ters of George Beadnell. a Lombard street banker. With one of them, Maria (the original of Dora in "David Copperfleld"!, who was a year bis senior, he Immediately fell In love, and Maria flirted with him very desperate ly. But the lore making of the future novelist was not treated very serious ly, for he was not considered by any mesns an eligible party, and even Me rit! herself adopted an attitude of amused tolerance. For three years the affair went on, and then Dickens realized that his case was hopeless. He pleaded in valu with the girl, whose caprices madden ed and gladdened him alternately, for. as a matter of fact Maria Beadnell was a willful coquette. Tbe end of it all was a reply that beld out no hope, and so the parting came. For twenty years they saw no more of one an other. ... Ultimately Muria Beadnell was mar ried to Henry Louis Winter, and, wben Dickens met her again time bad wrought sad havoc on his youthful Ideal. Mrs. Winter wrote to her old lover, but Dickens did not care to re new a correspondence witb bis old sweetheart. Then Mr. Winter failed, and the chagrined wife appealed to the lover of her girlhood for help, but without avail, and the romance ended long before the death of Dickens In 1870.-Exchange. , THE LADY EXPLAINED. Then He Probably Smiled, but It Mutt Have Been a Sickly Effort. A woman with fifteen bundles board ed the street car the otber afternoon when I was on my way to my subur ban residence. She was a very pretty young woman. 1 felt sorry for her. She was returning from a shopping tour. Being a man with a kind heart, I helped her upon the car and piled ber bundles about her. A man got on at the same time and took a seat on the other side of the young lady. Wben tbe car came to my street 1 was surprised to see her rise and be gin to pick up ber bundles. Instantly my sense of chivalry prompted me to help her oft tbe car, and, as I was go ing in tbe same direction, I asked per mission to curry ber fifteen bundles. The man got off also and started on ahead. I was loaded down like a camel crossing the desert In those packages she bad everything from an electric flatlron to a five pound bag of prunes. We trudged along about a half mile. Tbe man turned in at a gate. When we reached this gate the young lady thanked ine and said: "This is as far as I go. I live here. Thank you very much." "But the man ahead of us, the man who came out on the car witb us, turn ed In here too." "Yes." she said. "He is my husband, but be bates to carry packages through the street" Brooklyn Eagle. The father of Thomas Carlyle wai a stenemnson and a good one, so bis son said.
