big automatic pistol. but the gertrude
that Daylight would use II. Not alone
were the three men convinced Of this.

He was firmly resolved TO kill the men

was not an easy matter. on the spur OF
the moment, to raise ten mil
lions In paper currency, and there
were vexatious delays. A dozen times
Mr.. Howison and the head clerk were
summoned into the room. On these oc-
easions the pistol lay on Daylight's lap.
covered carelessly by newspaper.
while he was usually engaged IN roll
ing or lighting his brown-paper Gig
arctic. But In the end, the thing was
accomplished. A suitcase was brought
up By one of the clerks from the wait
ing motor-car. and Daylight snapped II
shut on the last package of bills. He
paused at the door to make his FINAL
remarks.
There's three several things I sure
want to tell you-all. When l get out
side this door. you-all'll be set free TO
act, and ! Just want TO warn you-all
about what to do. In the first place.

bed you OF II. II 1t gets out how you
gave me the double cross and how !
done you back again, the laugh II be
on you, and itn be sure an almighty
big laugh. You-all can't afford that
laugh. Besides, having got back my
stake that you-all robbed me of, II you

thaniel Letton sprang for the tele-
phone. and Dowsett intercepted him.
What are you going to do?" Dow
sstt demanded.
The police. It's downright robbery.
I won't stand It tell you ] won't
stand It."
Dowsett smiled grimly, but at the
same time bore the slender financier
back and down into his chair.
We'll talk It over" he said: and
In Leon Guggenhammer he found an
anxious ally.
And nothing ever came OF II. The
thing remained q secret with the
three men. Nor did Daylight ever
give the secret away. though that aft
srnoon, leaning back In his stateroom
ON the Twentieth Century, his shoes
On. and feet on a chair. he chuckled
long and heartily. New York remained
forever puzzled over the affair; nor
could II hit upon a rational explana-
ton. By all rights. Burning Daylight
should have gone broke, yet II was
known that he Immediately reappeared
IN San Francisco possessing an appar.
entity unimpaired capital. This was
evidenced by the magnitude of the en-.

Placards; labels and signs were
BySfep6en FiSke

Placards; labels and signs were
peculiarities of the house. In the
sleeping rooms were benches lettered
in black. For trunk, For portman-
teau." Dickens laughed as he ex-
planned, Eyes; everything that can
be labeled is labeled. used to be
the most careless of men and had to
cure myself as my work increased.
Now I am a martinez. Breakfast at
9 sharp; dinner at 7 sharp. Other
wise this is Liberty HALL"
The room best known to the public
is the library, because of the pictures
by Luke Fildes. called "The Vacant
Chair" which has brought tears to
many eyes. But. so far as Dickens
was concerned, that chair had always
been vacant It was for the accom-
modation Of guests. He never used
it, except to- write the most casual
notes. "How could l write works IN
a library" he exclaimed" with all
those volumes glaring at me and NUT
tering, What! Another"
The books On the lowest shelf OF
the library were dummies. with titles
selected by such London humorists
as ALBERT Smith, Mark Lemon, Ed
mund Yates and Andrew Halliday,
Lives of the Poets" was so thin that
there was scarcely room for the title
on the back. Five Minutes in India,
BY an Englishman," was in five portly
volumes. Eggs on Bacon caricatur-
ed "Coke on Littleton." Dickens re-
called the authors of all the dummies
and would roll on the floor with glee
as he told about them.
His important writing was done in
a large bedroom upstairs or in cha
Teton the opposite side Of the road,
connected with Gad's Hill by tunnel
cut through the chalk soil, So that
Dickens might pass to and fro with
out encountering the scores Of ad-
mirers who stopped before his house
daily to catch q glimpse Of their idol.
The chalet was presented to him
by Charles Fechter the famous
French actor, who saw it at the Paris
Exposition. It arrived at Gad's Hill
in sections, carefully numbered and
boxed. Dickens had the boxes strewn
carelessly over the lawn, and when
Fechter arrived asked him anxfously.
"Why have you sent me this lumber?"
"Ciel!" cried Fechter, "but l have
been swindled! They told me they
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-02-07

would send you a Swiss chalet to
write in"
never knew any visitor to be ad-
mitted to this chalet. In it Dickens
was as secluded as at hospice on
the Alps. There was no special view
to distract his attention from this
work-only the meadows, the woods
of Darnley Park and the changing
sky. He had four regular working
hours, and no day laborer was more
punctual. His vacations were his lee
turing tours.
In the centenary notices too little
has been said of the fact that Dick
ems was always a journalist: first as
a reporter on the "True SUM- and the
Morning Chronicle" then as editor
of the "Daily News" and Of House
hold Words, and to the end Of his
life as editor and proprietor Of All
the Year Round" He was not mere
figurehead. His editorial duties were
performed most conscientiously and
alas! for its rarty!-most sympath-
etically He read all the proofs, and
would write upon them. ''Should not
this revelation be reserved until near
er the close Of the story. "Have omit
ted this as superhuous." Better to
put this into dialogue FORM" When
he changed the heading of an article
upon ''Baby Show at Woolrich" to
"Woolrich infants, he wrote. "More
taking" His cheQue was always
mailed on the day Of publication and
was for more money than the exact
price per word or page.
On an anniversary Of the Henrietta
Yacht Race he asked an American
correspondent for a more intimate
account of the voyage than the report
in the London Times" saying, "Tell
US how it felt to be alone on the ocean
in December what you did to pass
the time on such little craft, etc."
The article was sent with an apology
for being much too long, as the writer
had no time to condense it.
"Not line not word must be
cut" he replied; II will give the
Henrietta plenty of searoom." He
gave the story eight out of the sixteen
Pages of "All the Year Round" and
told me that it had sold thousands Of
extra copies.
He published serials by other popu-
lar novelists-Wilkie Collins, Charles
Reade, Edmound Yates, Anthony Troll

Dickens was very happy at Gad's
us father from London to Rochester,
IS had stopped before the pretty
ouse and exclaimed, There l shall
I've when l get to be mani" The
alfilment of this prophecy seemed to
SNckens like the happy ending to one
sof his own fairy tails. Besides, the
sDlace was holy ground to him, for
sG had been trodden by the feet or
Shakespeare and was resort of Fal-
$ttaff, Poins, Peto, Pistol and Bardolph.
In the hall a painted panel read, This
Sis Gadshill, of which Sir John Falstah
bald" and the quotation from
n Henry the Fourth" follows.
q There was only one other residence
Sin all England that Dickens preferred
to Gad's Hxll. His favorite walk was
Ito Rochester, and he would stand for
hours, viewing the ruined castle;re-
I building and repairing 1t; repeopling
Hi with the kings and queens, lords
Eand ladies who had lived within its
smassive walls. One day he said:
III l could only have this old castle
to live in would refit part of it at
my own expense and keep 1t open to
the public on certain days or hours.
It would not cost SO very much.
have made the calculations. But this
Is one of my dreams that will never
come true!"
While Dickens was lecturing In
America l obtained an interview with
another great novelist. Disraeli, then
Premier Of Great Britain, and told
him this story. He replied promptly
and emphatically, There is nothing
in the Kingdom that Mr.. Dickens can
not have If he wants it. Tell him to
forward formal request to be appoin.
ted custodian of Rochester Castle,
and he shall receive his commission
from Her Gracious Majesty, who will
be as pleased as I am to accede to
his wishes"
Thus within a year the dream OF
Rochester Castle would have been re-
allied had not Dickens died untimely.
Gad's Hill is a small stone parson-
age, sweet with flowers. To the left
of the central hall-which was hung
with scenes painted by Stansfield for
amateur performances-were the re-
ception and dining rooms. On the
right were the library and billiard
room. On a side door was the notice.
"This leads to the kitchen; please
keep closed"

PRESCRIPTION
For a Long Life.

This Is the prescription for a long
life given by an old gentleman in Con-
necticut. who is ninety-nine years old
and still well and cheerful. Live
temperately be slow TO anger, don't
worry, take plenty of exercise in the
fresh air, and. above all. keep cheer
full"
Should the system get run down
digestive organs weak-the blood thin
and sluggish, take Ninol, which is
delicious combination of the medicine
bodybuilding properties of Gods
uvers. with the useless grease elimi-
mated and tonic iron added. We re
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body builders and strength-creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs Mary Ivey. Of Columbus, Ga.
SAYS: IF people only knew the good
viuol does old people. you would be
unable to supply the demand; 1t is
the finest tonic and strength-creator
ever used"
We wish every feeble old per
sou in this vicinity would try
yinol on our agreement to return their
money IL 1t fails to give satisfaction.

The Raqplcker Bird.

The trumpeter bird Is the ragpicker
OF the woods and swamps of Guiana,
where he is always at work at his
trade. with his stomach for pack
and his bin for a hook. He performs
useful but most extraordinary sery-
ice. deyouring perfect multitude Of
snakes, frogs. scorpions, spiders, liz
ards, and the like creatures. But this
terrible bird can be made perfectly
tame. On the Guiana plantations he
may be seen fraternizing with the
ducks and turkeys. accompanying
them in their walks, defending them
from their enemies, separating quar-
elers with the strokes OF his bin, sus-
tanning the young and the feeble and
waking the echoes with his trumpet
while he brings home his fiocks at
night The trumpeter is as handsome
as he Is useful Noble and naughty
in aspect, he raises himself up on his
long. yellow gathered legs and seems
to say. Il am the trumpeter. the
scourge Of the reptile. and the protec.
tor OF the flocks'
