BARRY PAINE’S TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF CHARLES CHADBAND.

Rilseries of » Talented Man Who Bore the Cognomen of One of Dickens’ Celebrated Characters — Wrote HBrilliantly, but Weald Not Publish,

At 4o'clock on the morning of Easter Sunday at bis home near Malvern Well died Charles Chadband.

With the name of Chadband, thanks to Diekens, the reading world is famil- jar. It is associated with oiliness, hy- pocrisy aud self seeking. At the very sound of the name the reminiscent grin starts on all faces. He is a national joke. But we pay for all our langhter, aud we have paid for the Chadband jest. I do not mean to say that the un- happy accident by which Dickens se- lected the name of Obadband for his imposter was the cause of the death of Charles Chadband. It was not. He died of an ordinary disease—consumption, in fact. But that unhappy accident did overshadow the whole of Charles Chad- baud’s life. It did prevent him from taking the place and fame to which he was justly entitled. It has prevented the general public from reading one sin- gie line of bis very excellent works.

As his literary executor I have had no choice but to destroy every line of his manuscript, in accordance with his orders. Not a single copy has been taken, and not one word of his works that his friends remember may be com- mitted to writing. I do not easily be- lieve in the existence of genius, but I believe that Charles Chadband had genius. Some, far more competent to judge than I am, thought the same. As I watched the last sparks die out in the big pile of burned paper it seemed a pity that se much work and such won- derful gifts should be all wasted for such a stupid, iguoble, maddening rea- son—because the author had inherited the name of a character in Dickens.

He was very sensitive, but, unlike most very sensitive men, he was not affected or vain. When I was first in- troduced to him, he said, laughing, that he was no relation to the original Chadband. He reveled in Dickens and would quote the original OChadband freely. I had known him a Jong time before I knew that the coincidence of the names gave him any trouble at all. It was long before I could make out why he would not publish anything. He used to give the most absurd reasons for his reticence, and when driven into a corner he would say that he was going to publish, bot not yet. One night,

when I had just finished a long story of ;

bis, Iimplored him to let me take it away with me to London and see what could be done. ‘‘No,’’ he said. ‘‘No- body would publish it.’’ Itold him that it might be refused by five men out of six, but that the sixth would afterward be proud that he had accept id it.

Then, quite unexpectedly, the secret came out. ‘‘No serious work,’’ he said,

‘could possibly do anything associated _

with the name of Chadband.’’ He said it so light heartedly that I thought he Was once more putting me off witha wrong reason, but I soon found that he

was sincere. He imagined reviewers .

making jJests about his ndame ana owned that he would not be able to stand it. This surprised me, for he frequently joked about his name himself, and so did his friends. He defended himself.

‘*That’s different,’’ he said. ‘That is in conversation, among men that I know. But 1 could not have some vual- gar brute who did not know me at all doing the same thing in cold print. It would present my stuff from the wrong point of view. No, the associations of the name are toostrong. If you are called Chadband, you are called Chad- band, and ’s anend of it. You may d6 what you like in private, but you can come before the public only as an intemperate, hypocritical, delicious ass, and in no other character what- ever.’’

He would not hear of a pseudonym or of anonymity. If his work succeeded, the secret would be found out, and he would be ashamed. If it did not suc- esed—and he did not think it would— it was not worth his while to add to the annual output of bad books. ‘‘ Why make all this fuss about nothing?’ I said, angry with his obstinacy. ‘‘If you think it matters one straw—though it does not—change your name once for all and be done with it.’’ He said that it wonld be sheer cowardice, and he could not dream of it.

Very unfortunately, he had private means. Poverty might nave driven him to overcome his sensitiveness and to publish. Had he done so it would have been curious to watch the growth of an entirely new set of associations around the name Chadband. I think he was strong enough to have redeemed the name.

He was unmarried—said that he did not believe in the hereditary principles as applied to jokes. His real reason for not marrying was, of course, the dis- ease of which he died. He worked ex- ceedingly hard, and, as he knew, to no purpose. He would not own that he took pleasure in his work. ‘‘No,’’ he said, ‘‘it’s like smoking—I get no pleas- ure from it, but I should miss it if I gave it up.’’ He took enormous pains with his work and finished it as thor- oughly as though it were to constitute

his appeal to the world on the follow- .

ing day. He kept the final copy of everything be approved, but his in-

| structions were that it was all to be

burned as soon as possible after his death. —Barry Pain in Black and White.

Making Antiques.

In a case before a London magistrate the question was as to the ownership of some antique ormolu articles, and two workmen, who stoutly claimed’ the articles, said that they ‘‘made’’ them. To prove their assertion they set to work in court and showed how ormolu wes made “antique’’ with pumice powder.
