He was fairly well educated. and along with the faults of youth, had plenty of good instincts. But his preseat earning power was practically nothing. So when his father’s miserly old brother, Ralph Nickleby, was induced to come to the family’s aid there was a general feeling of relief. Ralph, however, had no intention of spending his own money on his dead brother's dear ones. He found a job for Nicholas sistant in a Yorkshire board- ing school, run by one Wackford Squeers, who had been Ralph's accomplice in more than one crooked deal. Squeers had but a single eye-Yand that a bad one. He was an Illiterate, degraded old beast, and his so-called “school” was merely a place to whch heartless parents or guardians could send boys of whom they wanted to rid themselves. The pupils were starved, beaten and neglected by Squeers and his family. Bapectally did the achoolmaster's rage vent itself on one poor, luckless drudge-of-ail-work named Smike. ‘Nicholas's hot temper deserted him once when Smike was about to be cruelly deaten. He gave Squeers the thrashing of his ie and then left the school, followed by the devoted Emike, They got work for « time in a touring troupe of fifth-rate act- ore, then went to London. From one precarious mode of employment to another young Nickleby! drifted until at last he became a clerk in the office of two jelly 0M philanthropiats, the Cheeryble Brothers, The brothers took an interest Jn the high-spirited youth, and so well did he merit their friendliness that Sé prea ently found himeelf advancing rapidly in thelr employ, until at the end of a few years he was a partner in the firm. Kate Nickleby, meanwhile, had deen having her full quota of trouble. Ralph had sought, for lite own benefit, to throw her in the way of a feather-brained young spendthrift nobleman, Lord Verisopht. But the girl's Innate goodness and the interference of fate saved her. Later’ she met and fell in love with Frank Cheerybie, a nephew of the hindly brothers who had done #0 much for Nicholas. Frank loved Kate at first sight, and in course of time they: were married, Lord Verisopht having been ktlle@ tn & duel by Bir Mulberry Hawk, one of his worthless hangers-on who had been the lordling’s tutor in the world of dissipation and senseless extravagance. | Nicholas by this time had a romance of his own, He became enamored of Madeline Bray, a girl whose worthless father trying to force her into a marriage with a rich man whom she hated. Her father's sudden death left Madeline ¢ree, and she married Nicholas. Ralph Nickleby and Squeers became involved in one rascality too many, and the law's net caught them. Squeers wae condemned to penal servitude in Aus- tralia, Ralph evaded human punishment by hanging himeelf. @redke, it was loomed, was Ralph Nickleby's disowned son, who hed deen.’ gent to Gqueere in order to get him forever out of the way.

This ix only one noise, but it is one of the worst. Evening World readers who write to thank this newspaper for the stand it| has taken in condemning the indifference shown by the Board of} Health and the Public Service Commission toward the increase of preventable noises, supply plenty of other instances of this un-| checked riot of needlesa nerve-destruction. Apparently the Public Service Commission thinks that when it hae written a perfunctory answer to a complaint and filed the latter! away its duty is done. Does that stop the noise? e \ tetanic So many people are expressing the Mayor's views for him just now that it will be a relief when he stands on the City Hall steps next Wednesday and tries to overcome his well-known shyness and ¥ timidity of speech.
