WHICH TELLS OF A GREAT PUBLIC MEETING
IN SEVENOAKS, THE BURNING IN EFFIGY
OF MR. BELCHER, AND THAT GENTLE-
MAN’S INTERVIEW WITH A REPORTER.
The next morning Mr, Belcher was up
early in order to get his “Tattler” as soon
as it was dropped at his door. lie soon
found, on opening the reeking sheet
the column which held the precious docu
ment of Mr. Tibbets, and read :
“The Riot at Sevenoaks !!!
An interesting Interview with Colonel
Belcher!
The Original Account Grossly Exagger-
ated !
The whole Matter an Outburst of Per-
sonal Envy!
The Palgrave Mansion in a Fume!
A Tempest in a Tea-pot!
Petroleum in a Blaze, and a Thousand
Fingers Burnt! ! !
Stand Out From Under ! ! ! ”
The headings came near taking his
breath away, lie gasped, shuddered, and
wondered what was coming. Then he
went on and read the report of the inter-
view :
“A ‘Tattler’ reporter visited yesterday
the great proprietor of Sevenoaks, Col-
onel Robert Belcher, at his splendid man-
sion on Fifth Avenue. That gentlaman
had evidently just swallowed his break-
fast, and was comforting himself over the
report lie had read in the ‘Tattler’ of that
morning, by inhaling the fragrance of one
of his choice Havanas. He is evidently a
devotee of the seductive weed, and knows
a good article when he sees it. A copy
of the ‘Tattler’ lay on the table, which
bore unmistakable evidences of having
been spitefully crushed in the hand. The
iron had evidently entered the colonel’s
righteous soul, and the reporter, having
first declined the cup ot coffee hospitably
tendered to him and accepted, (as he al-
ways does when he gets a chance) a c’gar,
proceeded at once to business.
“Reporter—Col. Belcher, have you
seen the report in this morning’s ‘Tattler’
of the riot at Sevenoaks, which nominally
had your dealings with the people for its
occasion ?
Answer—I have, and a pretty mess was
made of it.
Reporter—Do you declare the report to
be incorrect ?
Answer—I know nothing about the cot-
rcctncss or the incorrectness ot the report
for I was not there.
Reporter—Were the accusations made
against yourself correct, presuming that
they were fairly and truthfully reported?
Answer—They were so far from being
correct that nothing could be more un-
truthful or more malicious.
Reporter—Have you any objection to
telling me the true state of the case in de-
tail ?
Answer—Xoue at all. Indeed, I have
been so toully misrepresented, that I am
glad ot an opportunity to place myself
right before a people with whom I have
taken up my residence. In the first place
I made Sevenoaks. I have ted the people
ot Sevenoaks lor more than ten years. I
have carried the burden of their charities ;
kept their dirty ministers from starving;
furnished employment for their women
and children, and run the town, i had no
society there, and, ot course, got tired of
my hum-drum life. I had worked hard,
been successful, and felt that I owed it to
myself and family to go somewhere and
enjoy the privileges, social and education-
al, which I had the means to command.
I came to New York without consulting
anybody, and bought ibis house. The
people protested, but ended by holding a
public meeting, and passing a series of
resolutions complimentary to me, of
which l very naturally felt proud, and
when I came away, they assembled at the
road side and gave me the lriendliest
cheers.
Reporter—How about the petroleum ?
Answer—Well that is an unaccountable
tiling. I went into the Continental Com-
pany, and nothing would do for the peo-
ple but to go in with me. I warned them
—every man ot them—but they would go
in, so I acted as tluir agent in procuring
stock for-them. There was nota share ot
stock sold on any persuasion of mine.
They were mad, they were wild lor oil.
You wouldn't have supposed that there
were half so much money in the town as
they dug out of their old stockings to in-
vest in oil. I was surprised r assure you.
Well, the Continental went up. and they
had to be angry with somebody, and al-
though I held more stock than any of
them, they took a fancy that I had dt-
frauded them, and so they came together
to wreak their impotent spite on me.
That’s thesnmand substance of the whole
matter.
Reporter—And that is all you have to
say ?
Answer—Well, it covers the ground.
Whether I shall proceed in law against
these scoundrels for maligning me I have
not determined. I shall probably do noth-
ing about it. The men are poor, and even
if they were rich, what good would it do
me to get their money? I've got money
enough, and money with me can never
offset a damage to character. When they
get cool and learn the facts, it they evei
da learn them, they Will be sorry, lhe}
are not a bad people at heart, though I am
ashamed, as their old fellow-townsman, to
say that they have acted like childien in
this matter. There’s a half-crazy, half-
silly old doctor there by the name ot Rad-
cliifc, and an old parson by the name ot
Snow, whom I have helped to feed for
years, who led them into difficulty. But
they’re not a bad people, now, and I am
sorry lor their sake that this thing lias
got into the papers. It’ll hurt the town.
They have been badly led, inflamed over
false information, and they have disgraced
themselves.
This closed the interview, and then Col.
Belcher politely showed the ‘Tattler’ re-
porter over his palatial abode, ‘taken
tor all in all,’ he does not expect to look
‘upon its likq again-’
‘None see it but to love it,
None name it but to praise.’
“It was ‘linked sweetness long drawn
put,’and must have cost the gallant col-
onel a pile of stamps. Declining an invU
tation to tvi$it tie stables—for our new
millionaire .is a liver of horse-flesh, as well
as the narcotic wed—and leaving that gen-
tlemen to ‘witch the world with won-
drous horsemanship,’ the ‘Tattler’ report-
er withdrew, pierced through with
Envy’s venomeddarts,’ and satisfied that
his courtly enWtainer had been ‘more
sinned against flan sinning.’ ”
Col. Belcher md the report with gen-
uine pleasure, am then, turning over the
leaf, read upon tie editorial page the bil-
lowing :
“Col. Belchir all Right.— We are
satisfied that the letter from Sevenoaks,
published in yesierday’s ‘Tattler’ in re-
gard to our highly respected fellow-citi-
zen, Colonel Robert Belcher, was a gross
libel upon that gentleman, and intended
by the malicious writer, to injure an hon-
orable and innocent man. It is only an-
other instance of the ingratitude of rural
communities toward their benefactors.
We congratulate the redoubtable colonel
on his removal from so pestilent a neigh-
borhood to a city where his sterling quali-
ties will find ‘anpie scope and verge
enough,’ and where those who suffer ‘the
slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’
will not lay them to the charge of one
who can, with truthfulness, declare ‘Thqn
canst not say 1 did it.’ ”
When Mr. Belcher concluded, he mut-
tered to himself, “Twenty dollars !—cheap
enough.” He had remained at home the
day before; now he could go upon
‘Change with a lace cleared of all sus-
picion. A cloud of truth had overshad-
owed him, but it had been dissipated by
the genial sunlight of falsehood. Ilis self-
complacency was fully restored when he
received a note, in the daintiest text on
the daintiest paper, congratulating him
on the triumphant establishment of his in-
nocence before the’New York public, and
bearing as its signature a name so precious
to him that he took it to his own room
before destroying it and kissed it.
CHAPTER XIV.
WHICH TELLS ABOUT MRS. DILLINGHAM1 S
CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR’S RECEP-
TION AT TIIE PALGRAVE MANSION.
A brilliant Christmas morning shone
in at Mrs. Dillingham’s window, where
she sat quietly sunning the better side ot
her nature. Her little parlor was a little
paradise, and all things around her were
in tasteful keeping with herself. The
Christmas chimes of Trinity were delug-
ing the air with sweet music; throngs
were passing by on their way to and from
church, and exchanging the greetings ot
the day ; wreaths of holly were in her
own windows and those of her neighbors,
and the influences of the hour—half poeti-
cal, half religious—held the unlovely and
the evil within her benign though tempo-
rary thrall. The good angel was domi-
nant within her, while the bad angel slept.
Far down the vista of ages, she was
looking Into a stable where a baby lay,
warm in its swadling clothes, the mother
bending over it. Siie saw above the stable
a single star, which, palpitating with
prophecy, shook its long rays out into
the form of a cross, then drew them in
until they circled into a blazing crown.
Far above the star the air was populous
with lambent forms and resonant with
shouting voices, and she heard the words;
“ Peace on earth, good will to men!”
The chimes of the Trinity melted into rev-
erie ; the kindly sun encouraged it; the
voices of happy children fed it, and she
was moved to tears.
What could she do now but think over
her past life—a life that had given her no
children—a life that been tilled neither by
peace nor good-will? She had married
an old man for Ids money; had worried
him out of liis life, and lie had gone and
left her childless. She would not charge
herself with the crime ot hastening to the
grave her lather and mother, but she
knew she had not been a comfort to them.
Her willfulness ; her love of money and
of power ; her pride of person and accom-
plishments ; her desire ot admiration; her
violent passions had made her a torment
to others and herself. She knew that no
one loved her for anything good that she
possessed, and knew that her own heart
was barren of love for others. She felt
that a little child who would call her
“ mother,” clinging to her hand, or nest-
ling in her bosom, could redeem her to
her better self; and how could she help
thinking of the true men. who with their
hearts in their fresh, manly hands, had
prayed for her love in the dawn ot her
young beauty, had been spurned Irom her
presence—men now in the honorable
walks ot life with their little ones around
them? Her relatives had lorsaken her.
There was absolutely no one lo whom
she could turn for the sympathy which ir
that hour she craved.
In these reflections, there was one per-
son of her own blood recalled to whom
she had been a curse, and of whom, for a
single moment, she could not bear to
think. She had driven him from her pres-
ence—the one who through all her child-
hood, hud been her companion, her ad-
mirer, her loyal follower. He had dared
to love and marry one whom she did not
approve, and with curses, she had ban-
ished him from her side. If she only had
him to love, she ielt that she should be
better and happier, but she had no hope
that he would ever return to her.
She felt now, with inexpressible loath-
ing, the unworthiness of the charms with
which she fascinated the base men around
her. The only sympathy she had was
from these, and the only power she pos-
sessed was over them and through them.
The aim of her life was to fascinate them ;
the art of her life was to keep them fasci-
nated without the conscious degradation
of herself, anil so, to lead them whither-
soever she would. Her business was the
manufacture of slaves—slaves to her per-
sonal charms and imperious will. Each
slave carried around his own secret, treat-
ing her with distant deference in
society, spoke ot her with respect,
and congratulated himself on possessing
her supreme favor. Not one of them had
her heart or her confidence. With a true
woman’s instinct, she knew that no man
who would be untrue to his wife would be
true to her. So she played with them ?s
with puppies that might gambol around
her, and fawn before her, but might not
smutch her robes with their dirty feet, or
get the opportunity to bite Her hand.
She had a house, out she had no home,
Again and again the thought came to her
that in a million homes that morning the
air was full of music—hearty greetings'
between parents and children, sweet prat-
tle from lips unstained, merry laughter
from bosoms without a care. With a
heart full of tender regrets for the mis-
takes and errors of the past, with unspeak-
able contempt for the life she was living,
and with vain yearnings for something bet-
ter, she rose and determined to join the
throngs that were pressing into the
church. Hastily prepared for the street,
she went out, and soon, her heart respond-
ing to the Christmas music, and her voice
to the Christmas utterances from the altar,
she strove to lift her heart in devotion.
She felt the better for it. It was an old
habit, and the spasm was over. Having
done a good thing, she turned her ear
away from the suggestions of her good
angel, and. in turning away, encountered
the suggestions of worldliness from the
other side, which came back to her with
their old music. She came out of the
church as. one comes out ot a theater,
where for hours he has sat absorbed in
the ficticious passion of a play, to the
grateful rush and roar of Broadway, the
flashing of the lights, and the shouting of
the voices of the real world.
Mr. Belcher called that evening, and she
was glad to see him. Arrayed in all her
loveliness, sparkling with vivacity and ra-
diant with health, she sat and wove her
toils about him. She had never seemed
lovelier in his eyes, and, as he thought of
the unresponsive and and quiet woman he
had left behind him, he felt like his home
was not on Fifth Avenue, but in the house
where he then sat. Somehow—he could
not tell how—she had always kept him at
a distance. He had not dared to be famil-
iar with her. Up to a certain point he
could carry his gallantries but no further.
Then the drif of conversation would
change. Then something would call her
away. He grew mad with the desire tq
hold her hand, to touch her, to unburden
his heart of its passion for her, to breathe
his hope of future possession ; but always,
when the convenient moment came, he
was gently repelled, tenderly hushed
adroitly diverted, He knew the devil was
in her; he believed that site was fond ol
him, and thus knowing and believing, he
was at bis wit’s end to gtiess why she
should be so persistently perverse. He had
drank that day, was not so easily man-
aged as usual, and she had a hard task to
hold him to his proprieties. There was
only one way to do tills and that was to
assume the pathetic.
Then she told him ot her lonely day,
her lack of employment, her wish that she
could he of some use in the world, and,
finally she wondered whether Mrs. Bel-
cher would like to have her, Mr, Pillingr
ham,receive with her on Now Year’s Day,
If that lady would not consider it an intru-
sion, she should be happy to shut her own
house, and thus be able to present all the
gentlemen ot the city worth knowing, not
only to Mrs. Belcher, but her husband.
