Synopsis of A Good Little Devii. Charles ‘MacLance, “a _good liitle | devil,” and a little friend of all the world, upon bis mother’s death is sent to his uncle, Lord Colinton, to be rear- ed as will befit his future rank. Lord Colinton has rscently lost his only son and with his memories and his broken heart, unable to bear the sight of cl dren, places Charles in the wm. va & distant and heartless aunt, Mrs. Mac- Miche. Charles Joves the fairies with | all the ardor of his poetic soul, and In spite of his rags and misery the etheral <creatures bring him solace; while 3irs, MacMiche, with her sordid soul XI iron heart, to whom the fairies are | fiends, lives in pathetic terror of their i power. Charles meets and loves Juilet, into whose eyes God forgot to put the ! light, and the fairies, who onty come when the heart is so fuli that it can- | not speak, manifest themselves to the | happy young iovers in a myriad ways, | Upon the death of Lord Colinton, | Charles becomes heir to hkis title and | fortune and takes a pitifui and tender | farewell of Juliet, promising te return | Wwhen he is old enough to make her his Lady Colinton. | With the lapse of years and the pos- | session of power, Charles forgets the fairies, and Julist, and becomes—a e#nob! Juiiet’s heart calls to kim through the distance and the darkness, | but her prayer is in vain. Meantim love and sympathy have entered heart of Mrs. MacMiche, and Charles’ absence she real s that sbe‘ loves him. Faith conque fear, and | ber hate of the fairie Through her longing for Charles, becomes seriously ill, and despatches a servant to ask him to come to her. Lord Colinton spurns the plea, and later becomes ngaged 10 the famous very distinguished match!” His couscience, symbolized in the form of the little Charles of long ago, accuses Lord Colinton of his per- 7idy, and in contempt leaves his body. | Mrs. MacMiche's illness becomes ag- gravated, and the doctor informs Lord Colinton that unless she sees him she will die of a broken heart; ana this time he deigns to visit her. s old aunt and Juliet are staggered by sad trapnsformation in him. A about to leave the house his consci confronts him and battles with worse self for supremacy. His soul | triumphs, and the spirit of the old | Charles returns. He denounces and | renounces the sncbs who accompanied | him on his visit, and tells tunem with | dramatic simplicity that he has seen | the light and has learned wisdom. i There is a tender reunion between | himself and Juliet nd they live hap- | Py for ever and ever!
