ami Hie quotation from "Homy tlv
Fourih'' follows.
There was only one other residence
in all England that Dlcksns preferred
to Gad'S Hill. Ills favorite walk was
to Rochester, and he would stand for
hours viewing the ruined castlo; re?
building and repnlriiiK It; rcppopllng
it with the Kings and Queens, lords
and ladles who had lived within ils
massive walls, line day he said:
?if I could only have this old enstic
t.. live in. I would relit part of it at
jlly own expense and keep il open to
the public on corta'n days or hours. It
Would urn rest so very much. 1 have
made the calculations, But this Is one
of my dreams that will never conic
true!"
While Dickens was lecturing in
America i obtained mi interview with
another great novelist, Disraeli, then
Premier of Great Britain; and told him
this story, lie replied promptly and
emphatically, "There is nothing In the
kingdom that Mr. Dickens cannot have
if He wants It. Tell him to forward
a formal request to bo appointed cus?
todian of Rochester Castle, and ho
shall receive his commluuion from Her
Gracious Mutest y. win, will he as
pleased us 1 um 0 accede to his
wishes."

His important writing was done In

through the chalk soil, so that Dick?
ens might pass to and fro without en?

Charles Fechter, the famous Freuen

I never knew any visitor to be ad-1
milted to Ulis chalet. In It Dickens
was us secluded as at a hospice on
the Alps. There was no special view
to distract his attention limn his
work ?only the meadows, the woods of
Ditrnley Park and the changing sky.

and proprietor of All the Year Hound,
'lie was not a mere llgurehcud. Ills'
I editorial duties were perm^rmcd most,
conscientiously and?alas! for Its

all the proofs, and would write upon:
them, 'Should not this revelation bo

heading of an article upon a "Baby

I check was always mailed on the tiny:

money than the exact price per word |

I On tin anniversary of the Henrietta
I Yacht Itucc he asked an American cor?
respondent for a more intimate ac-l
Icount of Hie voyage than tlie report in,
I the London Times, saying, "Tell usj
I how it felt to be alone no the ocean)
i in December; what you did to pass
j the lime on such a little craft, etc."
I The article w as sent with an apology
i for being much loo long, as the Writer
j hud no lime to condense it.
"Not a line, not a wold must be cut,"
he replied: "1 will give Hit Henrietta
pKOrty of searoom." lie gave the
story eight out of the sixteen pages of
All the V, r Hound, and (old me that
it had sold thousands of extra copies.
He published serials by other popu?
lar novelists?Wllklc, Collins, Charles
Hondo, Edmund Yates, Anthony Trol?
lop, and paid for them most liberal?
ly.
Tin- Dickens manuscripts were writ?
ten in 1)1 ue ink. and l his became a fad
of what used to lie called "'.he Dickens,
school of writers." Though he never
mentioned his immortal characters;
.and turned the conversation Irnhicd
lntoly If Pecksniff, or Stun Weller, or
Mr. I.ibey happened to be u noted, I
yen til rod to ask him If lie enjoyed his
creations as much an his renders did.
"C'ortulnly." he said. "I always have
the lust laugh .'.nil the (its. cry."
Having thus broached a forbidden
subject, Dickens was Induced to show
me the original manuscripts of some
of his novels and tu explain his me?
thod of composition. There w.re no
Interlineations, afterthoughts, changes
of expression, as In Bal/.'ie'a manu?
scripts. II a word or phrase was al?
tered, tltd . hange was made after, not
above, the first text, nor en the mar?

''What ii story that Wohld make fori
Charles H?nde!" exclaimed Diekens on-i
thuslasllcally; "1 shall loll him aboutI
it."
Upon a miniature scale, but with
ample means, Diekens maintained at
Gad's Hill the estate of an old ICngllsh
country house. Miss Gcorginn Ho?
garth, his sister-in-law, was Ills house,
keeper, lie had an excellent chef. The
dinners were very elaborate, with
tfbvch courses ami a different wlno
with ouch course. Almost every day
there wore distinguished guests, com?
ing from nil parts of the world, and
often lh? entire conversation was In
French, which Dickens ?polte us flu
< ntly as li'.s friend Fechter. Choosing
the wines lor the dinner was an af?
ternoon festival. Seated astride a barrel
in the eool cellar' carved from the
chalk rock, Dickens told a good story
with every bottle sclectoj and fairly
reveled in boyish humor. The Intense
vitality of his novels glowed through
his personality.
After dinner the guests were invit?
ed to taste the bowl of cold punch
Which -Miss Hogarth ban prepared In
the central hall. Then there was whist
or billiards, which Dickens turned Into
a comedy by a constantly comic com?
mentary upon the play and players,
lie grumbled to himself. "Well, bad
players always win," or "It's very easy
to play when one holds all the trumps."
(Mi my Hrst visit he remarked airily,
"l suppose that the aristocratic ous
lom 01" leaving all the winnings on the
table for I lie servants lias been adopt?
ed lu America?"
"Don't mind him." Miss Hogarth in?
terposed; "he is always like that.'
The housekeeping at Gads Hill was
managed so perfectly that, except at
dinner. I nover .saw a servant there.'
Miss Hogarth, as methodical ns Dick?
ens himself, seemed to do everything.
In l.oini. morning. I received
the following note:
"Shipmate, ahoy! How am I to en?

Dicken?. At dinner Mr. Childs nto

ami Dieken? slyly iirctchdod to1
shudder with horror every time his
own |flass was filled. Persisting that!
Mr Cnilds must be amused, Mr. |
Dickens asked him to nitty 0 gnme 1
of billiards. Mr. Childs did not play,
billiards, ami Dickens proposed "a j
grand internutior.ai pool tournatqent, .
his son. Charles, representing England. I
With milch argument - "custom of the
country.'' and ho on?and much per-!
sunalon, Mr. Childs was induced 10
hack mo as the American champion
for half a crown (CO c uts), and was
appointed umpire us soon as he de?
clared that he knew nothing about
the game. Dickens was marker, and
shouted after every break, "Two for
Ihd American eagle! Fluke!*' "Three
fur the British lion! Hooray!"
By good work, the American eagle
Won. The clock struck 10, and Mr. I
Childs said thtti he always went to1
btd at lo o'clock. So Dickens, with
a low bow and a countenance express?
ing the deepest sorrow and despair,
handed him the two half-crowns, it
was all like n scene from "Pickwick."
and. as the door closed upon Mr.
Childs, wo continued the similarity by
holding hands and dancing around the
table.
Presently the door opened and Mr. I
Childs reappeared with his bedroom
candle and the two half-crowns. In
a speech that was so sincere as to. ho
dignified, he said that never before'
had ho been guilty of gambling; that,
when he attempted 10 say his prayers
the two half-crowns weighted upon his
mind and interfered with his devo,
'.ions; he must ask Mr. Dickens to
take back the money.
Dickens regarded Mr. Childs very
gravely. Was this a Joke or a tou
scnsltlvu conscience? Then he ex?
plained at great length that the cus?
toms of England did not permit him
to take back the half crowns, but
that he would consent to wager double
or quits until the British lion had won.
Mr. Childs agreed to this, under pro?
test, ami Dickens gave us an audacious I
wink, which meant, "But shillings on j
his conscience!"
Young Charles tried ills best to lose,
Hie game; but the bulls sympathized
with Mr. Chillis, and Hie British lion
was victorious. When Mr. Childs, re- ,
lleved of his gambling gains, had re- !
tired smilingly, Dickens asked, "Is It
possible? Have I been dreaming? Ami
yet hi; is a great man! He lias dime
wonderful things!"
None of Hie port rails published re?
sembled Dickens at the prime ot life
and lite height of his fame. He looked
like a retired sea captain, and hail an i
alertness ami vigor that suggested:
"Heave ahead, my hearties!" This sug?
gestion was heightened by ills ruddy. I
weather-beaten face, his grizzled,
foam-flecked hair and beard, and his!
keen. calm, serious eyes that Beamed
to reflect the wonders of the deep. Ho
had a brother, Frederick Dickens, who]
looked so like him that 1 had often
thought they were twins?the sumo I
sailor-like face and milliner, the same
talent as no amateur s?ctor, 11,m with
no literary ability. It was curious
to study the two brothers, exactly |
alike, but one lacking the inspiration j
of genius, as it' Nature had created
duplicates and then decided to endow,
Charles, instead of Frederick. ;
The world Knows Dickens as a
wrltor, but as an oral story-teller he '
was even more marvelous. Ho told
stories almost ns constantly as Lincoln
or Schehercznde, but they had a mys?
terious peculiarity. Remember them?
repeat them word for word?and they I
hail lost their magic. For example.!
when we were a small family parly all
Gad's Hill, we would coax- Dickens to 1
toll US the story of the "Woman With ,
tlie Red Shawl." lie bad dreamed of
11 woman who wore a red shawl, and;
;il night, noing home aflot his lecturo,
he had met the Identical woman, wear?
ing Iho same red shawl as In his]
dream. There was nothing very re?
markable in such an Incident; hut; as
Dickens told H. the story Interested.
Iimuacd and thrilled ns, though we had 1
heard il over and over again.
He talked with such a quaint pro- |
clslon.,such an undertone of fun, wit
mid satire, that II seemed as if he.
might have saved himself many weary,
hours by dictating Ills novels tu a
stenographer. !
Across Hie road, but within II- ?
manor of Gad's Hill and under the.
Jurisdiction of Dickens ns landlord and
as Justice of the peace, was a country
tavern, originally called "The.- Jolly
Plow Roy," but rodhrlstened "Sir John
I'a Is tuff's Inn." One night there Was
u disturbance In the tavern, and we
went over in a body. Dickens leading,
to Investigate- It. Among a party of,
rough fellows was a man with blond
aitrcomlng down his face, and he said I
Unit the landlord had struck him with
it pewter pot.
"!>id ytut striae this man?" asked
Dickons sternly.
"Veil, sir." replied the landlord,
"vether 111 'It. that moil on the 'ed -villi
a pewter pot lilt his not for the likes
of nie to say, sir; hui the hlmpresslon
on my mind his that 111 did hot."
"Well, sir," retorted Dickens ju
dlcla.ly, "whether you hit that man
on the head with n pewtor pot It Is
not for mo to say; but the Impression I
on his head Is that you did!"
Dickens loft no memoranda from '
which the plot of his uncumpcled
novel. "The Mystery of Edwin Drood,"
could Ibu discovered. But, before writ
ini; this novel ho told mo of a plot
Which he was considering. Pointing
to a building on the bank of the
Thames, he said: "That Is our poor
house. A weii-m-do overseer put his
father Into that house, under an as?
sumed name. The ol<| man revealed
his identity to the hoard Of managers,
and they sent him back to his son.
whom they threatened to prosecute for
fraud. Angry, mean and alarmed, the
overseer put the father ln*o a buggy
and drove Into the river, here in this
spot. His Intention evidently was to
drown his father and pretend there
had been ah accident. Hut the father
clung to him and both were drowned.
The overseer hn<] taken out insurance
policies upon his own Hf<- and that
of his father, ami d'Stnnt relatives ap?
plied for the money. The Insurance
company refused to pay. Litigation en?
sued, aiid the court decided Unit the
policy upon the father was void, be?
cause he had been deliberately mur?
dered, but the policy upon the -non
must be paid, because be had not In?
