madness to entertain such a thought. Yet
he was the owner of that very house long
wears before he died. II has changed but
little since tho time when Dickens M a boy
used to stand and admire IL for hours ut q
time. 1t is a plain old-fashioncd, WI story
brick building, with a quair,t wooden porch,
the whole covered with viEss, making it al
most invisible from tho road. The house
commands u fine view of the country
around and of the river Thames as II winds
its crooked way down to tha gea. Just
across the way is the ruin whe-e Sir John
Falstaff laid tho plot to rob the pilgrims
who were passing Gadshill on their way 20
Canterbury.
The quaint touches that Dickens himself
gave to the interior OF the house are still to
be seen, the engraved tablet OF which Fors-
ter speaks is still in tho hallway n reads:
s'This house, Gadshill Place, stands ON
the summit of Shakespeare's Gndshill, ever
memorable for is association with Sir John
Falstaf in his noble fancy. 'Gut, my lads,
my lads, tomorrow morning by four
grims going to Canterbury with rich offer
ings and traders riding TO london with fat
purses. / awe wizards for you all, you
have horses for yourselves
1t was at this spot that Sir John met his
famous men in buckran, and on the stoned
about here that he hacked his sword i'll or
der that he might show it to his comrades
as a proof that he had been in the thick Of
the fray.
The library, too. is much as II was when
Dickens lived in the house. The unique
arrangements made by Dickens himself to
have false shelves wherever there was a
vacant spot with imitation backs Of books,
the whole covered by glass, is still TO be
seen. The titles on the backs OF the imita-
ton books sprang from Dickens own fam
tastic fancy: Here are some of the titles:
Had Shakespeare's Uncle a Singing
Face?"-One volume.
Goats Lives."-Nine volumes.
History of the Middling A~gos."-Six
volumes.
"The Quarrelly R~eview."--Four volumes.
1.-THE Books of Moses u Sons."--One vol
ume.
The dining room looks out upon the lawn
and INTO the conservatory. IT. was in this
room that Dickens died, and it remains
much as it was then. Tho grove that
| Dickens called the Wilderness" and the
Swiss chalet that Dickens used to repair to
to write when he wanted quiet are rs they
| were.

lsaA terviews, but if you will come to the
Office of All the Year Round tomorrow, at

CHARLES DICKENS"
So ran a letter that came to me to-day
from the son of the great novelist, young
Charles Dickens, as he is still called, though
he is no longer young. 1t was in reply to a
request for a chat with him on literary
topics.
Mr.. Dickens is not a man who would at
tract attention in a crowd. He is not i'm
posing in appearances. He looks like a lit
erary man. His shoulders stoop and he
looks at the visitor quizzioally through gold
trimmed spectacles. He was seated at his
desk hard at work when l called. He wore
a rather rakiah deer stalker hat, and n loose
fitting suit of blue clothing. His manner
was rather abrupt, but before ! had been
speaking to him for five minutes, I discov-
cred that he possessed a vein of dry
humor, both genial and pleasant. The

Dickens editorial Office is situated on the
first floor. 1t is somewhat meagerly furn-
iahed, and there ia an unmistakable air of
hard work about il. Mr.. Dickens is no toy
editor. Having installed myself in n chair
with a particularly hard seat, | proceeded
to cross-examine the son OF tho great
novelist.
I'm the first place would you tell me what
the various members Of the Dickens family
arc dong at present?'
Gladly" Was the reply. 'People con-
t~inually write to know what my sisters and
brothers are about, and ] am glad to be
able to let them know in this way. My
