COPYRIGHT, 1004. By (Continued from yesterday.) c riiilip's experience as a newspaper vender told him that all London was now familiar with his own personal appearance as well as with the semblance and value of bis meteoric diamonds. The white stones, the clamps of iron ore, bad been described minutely by clever journalists, who supplemented Isaacstein's clear statement by facts gleaned from encyclopedias and Interviews with geologists. Most probably thla man had read long articles about him, for the story was such as to bring watery curses to the lips of every penniless vagrant in the kingdom. Indeed, the careful scrutiny bestowed on his face and clothes bore out this suspicion. Had he not changed his garments the stranger would have known his identity beyond all question. As It was, the man was puzzled and disturbed at the. very moment he was about to say something. What had happened to cause him to run away? What had he seen or heard? Above all, how much did he know of Thillp and his affairs? Well, the door was locked, and It would bo folly to go out again that night. The house was absolutely un approachable save by the front. Philip resolved to remain awake until daybreak. O'Brien's spade stood against the fireplace. It was a formidable weapon, and he would not hesitate to use it if forcible entry was attempted. He must sit quietly in the dark, listening for each sound and threatening boldly when he heard any one endeavoring to open door or window. lie sighed, for he was very tired, but the vigil was imperative. He dropped the drugget Hid scissors and bent again over the portmanteau. The packing operations might as well be finished now, and indeed when the light was extinguished it would be better to keep away from the window, through which a sudden thrust with an implement might do him an injury. He took his discarded clothes and arranged them on top of the last parcels of ore and diamonds. Then he reached out for the small bundl of documents resting on the chair behind him, intending to place them in a little pocket in the flap which already covered onehalf of the bag. ' At that instant he again heard footsteps. Of course a very few seconds had elapsed since he first caught sight of the living specter without. The ideas recorded at sucn length whirled through his active brain with lightning speed just as the knowledge now came that the footsteps proceeded from the entrance to the mews and not from ita extremity, while their firm regularity betokened the advent of some person who had no special reason to conceal his movements. The boy listened breathlessly. The oncomer reached his door, passed it stopped opposite the window, and then another face peered over the curtain. This time it was a policeman. For an instant their eyes met in mutual astonishment. Then the policeman came so close that his helmet rested against a pane of glass. He grinned affably and cried: "Here! I want to speak to yon." Intuitively grasping the essential fact that his best policy was one of ready acquiescence, Fhilip sprang ward the door and unlocked It. toIIe stood on the step. The constable approached. "I hope I didn't startle you," he began, "but I just looked In on the off chance" "I am very glad Indeed to see you." Interrupted the boy. I am leaving here tomorrow. Just now, wJiile I was packing some of my belongings, a very nasty looking man came and peeped In at me in the same way as you did." He backed into the house. The policeman half followed him, his quick glance noting the open portmanteau and its array of old clothes. "Just now?" he questioned. "Do you mean some time since?" "No, no. Not half seconds ago." a minute a few "But where can he be? He hasn't left the mews or I must have seen him. I crossed the road, and no one came out in so short a time." "Well, he is somewhere in th place. He had a horrid appearance a man with a broken nose. He made me jump, I can assure you." "A man with a broken nose! By Jove! I'm looking for a party of that description. A rank wrong 'un. Robbery with violence and a few other little things. What sort of a man was he? You saw his face only, I suppose?" The constable stepped back into the paved court. A rapid twist of his hand sent a vivid beam of light dancing over ruined tenements, disheveled doorways and shattered windows. "A tall man," said Thilip, "taller than you, for I could see his chia over the string of the curtain. He had a big face, with eyes that stuck out ly""It's Jocky right enough!" cried the constable. "Now, where can he have got to? He's an ugly customer to tackle single handed," he added beneath his breath. "Won't you wait a bit until I some help?" said Philip anxiously. The man appeared to debate get the

EDWARD J. CLODE. point. The nearest comrade was an acting sergeant, newly promoted. If he were summoned, the kudos of a smart capture would be his by right of seniority. "No," answered the constable stubbornly. "If he is here, I will handle him myself." Again his lamp swept the small area of the mews and revealed no living object. He quickly unfastened his belt, took off his greatcoat and readjusted belt and lamp again. "Now I'm ready for him," he grinned. "Put my coat inside, boy, and stand at the door yourself with the candle in your hand. If you see anything, yell out to me." Philip obeyed. These preparations for a deadly struggle appealed to his very soul, for your healthy minded boy of fifteen has generally ceased to be a highwayman or a pirate in imagination and aims rather at Ranting the union jack on a glacis bristling with hostile cannon. The policeman, feeling for the loose strap of his truncheon, commenced a careful survey of the mews. He had not gone five yards when there was a loud crash of broken glass. The building at the other end of the yard possessed a couple of windows facing into another inclosure at the back. Obviously the broken nosed Jocky, unseen himself, had observed the constable's movements. Realizing that discovery was imminent, he was effecting a strategic movement to the rear. The policeman instantly abandoned his cautious tactics. He ran toward the door of the house whence the sound came. It resisted somewhat, but yielded to his shoulder. He disappeared inside. Thilip, after closing his own door, also ran to the new center of Interest, shielding the candle with one hand lest it should blow out. Ouick as he was. he missed the first phase of a Homeric combaL The violent Jocky, foiled by an unnoticed Iron bar in his attempt to escape, turned like a madman on the ioliceman. There was no sort of parley between them. Cursing the luck that had revealed his hiding place, the man, an ex-convict, with the frame of a giant, sprang at his pursuer suddenly from an inner room. The policeman had a second's warning. It was something, but not enough to give him an advantage. lie got his truncheon out, but simultaneously his assailant was on him with a ferocity of a catamount. They closed in bono breaking endeavor, and before they were locked together for ten fearful seconds the otficer of the law bitterly regretted the professional pride which sent him single handed into this unequal strife. For he was physically outclassed, and he knew it, and there is no more unnerving knowledge can come to a man in such a supreme moment. Nevertheless he was a brave man, and he fought with all the resolution that is born of. the consciousness of justice and moral right. But Providence is on the side of big battalions, and Jocky was taller, heavier, very much more active. Moreover, liberty is as potent an incentive He picked vp the trvneheon and brought it doivn on Jocky' s hard skull. as law any day, and law was being steadily throttled when the pale gleam of Thilip's candle lit up the confines of the ruinous hovel about which the two men stamped and lurched and wrestled. At the precise moment of the boy's entrance the policeman's knees yielded, and he fell, with his remorseless antagonist uppermost rhilip, gazing at them wild eyed, almost fell, too, for hte left foot rolled on the constable's staff. Being fashioned of the stuff which fotinds empires on the principle that instant action is worth a century of diplomacy he picked up the truncheon and brought It down on Jocky's hard skull with such emphasis that the convict emitted a queer sort of cough and collapsed limply on top of his conquered adversary. Then the boy was horrified. The two lay so still that he imagined both were dead. It is one thing to help the law, but quite another to kill a man. He di

not want to be u murderer as well as a millionaire, not knowing then the qualities which go to form these varieties of genus homo are strangely alike. He gazed at them as in a trance, but relief came when he heard them breathing stertorously. At last, after a pause that apparently endured unnumbered minutes, the constable weakly rolled himself free from the bulky form of his would be slayer and sat up. He inflated his lungs vigorously. Then he manasred to gasp: '"Thank you! You've saved my life!" He pressed his ribs with both hands and gingerly felt his throat. He stood up. His lamp was still alight, but a quantity of oil had run over his tunic and trousers. "By Jove, boy, you are a brick." he suid, and his voice was under control

again. Thilip answered not a word. His eyes were glued on the prostrate form of Jocky. The policeman understood his fear and laughed. "Don't you worry about him. He'll do a stretch all riht. I would buve given him a harder one than that if I got a swing at him." His words were quickly Justified. The fallen man growled unintelligibly and moved. With a rapidity born of much practice the oflieer handcuffed him. There must have leen some sense of familiarity in the touch of the steel bracelets, for the recipient of this delicate attention stirred uneasily. "You knocked him silly," grinned the policeman, "but he will get his wits back in a minute or two. Can you bring him a drink of water? It won't do me any harm either." Philip hurried away to comply with this request. Ills mind was relieved now and with the backward swing of the mental pendulum came the reflection that the least said of his connection with the case the better. He filled a small tin cup at the scullery tap and ran with it to the scene of the capture. The constable was gently shaking his prize and addressing him by name. "Jocky! Jocky Mason! Pull yourself together. This way for the Old Bailey!" "If you please," said Philip, "I would be very greatly obliged were my name not mentioned at all with reference to this affair." The policeman, whose senses were normal again, was instantly Impressed by the boy's grand manner. His accent was that of the men of the University mission. And how many boys of his age would have struck so straight and truly at a critical moment? "Well, don't you see. that will be rather difficult," was the answer. "It was you who told me where he was, and the man himself knows that without somebody's help I could not have arrested him. There is no need to mince matters. I have you to thank for not being laid here stiff." Philip said no more. To press his request implied a powerful motive. The stars In their courses must have conspired that day to supply him with excitement. Mason eagerly gulped the water held to his lips. Then he tried to raise his right hand to his head. Ah! He understood. A flood of oaths began to meander thickly from his mouth. "That's better," said the constable encouragingly. "Now, up you get! It's no use, Jocky. I won't let you kick me. You must either go quietly or I will drag you to the street over the stones, and that will hurt." The man glared dully at his captor. With the apathy of his class, he knew when he was beaten and became submissive in demeanor. Philip, holding his candle aloft, marveled at his own temerity in hitting this giant, oxlike In size and strength. Mason wabbled his head and craned his neck awkwardly. "Oo gev me that crack on the nut?" he asked. "The roof dropped," was the jocular reply. "Not It I 'ad yer dahn, sailor. I was on yer afore ye could use yer stick. Ye was fairly bested until somebody ahted me wiv a welt on the skylight." "Never mind, Jocky. It'll hurt you to think just now. Come on." But the ex-convict became sensible of the unwonted light in the deserted house and slowly turned his head until his glance rested on Philip. "Why," he roared, with an imprecation, "that's the bloomin' kid '00 found the di-monds. I seed 'im a-countin of 'em. White stones, the paper said, an' bits of iron, too. A trunk full of 'em. 'E 'as one in 'is pocket as big as an egg." The policeman laughed. So did Philip, shrilly, with ready acceptance of the cue. "Come along, Jocky. You're wool gathering. I'll get you a pint of coffee at the station just to show there's no malice," said the constable. "The water was too strong for him," put In Philip. The ex-convict began to protest, but he wasted words in swearing. The "sailor" grasped him by the arm and marched him down the yard, saying over his shoulder: "Pull that door to. I'll come back for my coat in half an hour." Philip followed, but In a sea of perplexity. He .heard Mason's frantic expostulations to the policeman what was an extra stripe to the loss of untold wealth that youngster was richer than Rothschild, the papers said. The small lot he showed in the police court were worth 50,000 and he had ton3 more. It was all of no avail. Certainly the constable had never heard such queer reasons advanced for stopping an arrest, but Mason was obviously dazed for the time maundering about the story which everybody talked of. lie would change his tune when he learned to whom he was indebted for his capture.
