(Continued from yesterday.) The boy walked behind them mechanically, shading the candle with his hand. He was so absorbed with his tumultuous thoughts that the first indication he received of anything bizarre in his appearance was the giggling of a girl who saw him standing in the arch of the mews carefully shielding the flickering wick. lie blew it out. A clock in the small jeweler's shop opposite showed the time ton minutes past 11. In that part of London, a busy hive of men and women of the working class, he had no chance of removing his belongings before the policeman returned. What would happen if the friendly constable believed Jocky Mason's excited statements? True, Philip had no reason to fear the law, but with exposure might come other troubles. Would any one advance a claim to his meteor? Mr. Abingdon hinted at such a thing. He paid no rent for his house; he might be turned out instantlyrefused permission to remove anything except his few unsalable household goods. Assuredly he was in an awkward predicament. Of course there was a chance that the policeman would continue to laugh at the convict's folly. If he did not, there would certainly be complication. Could he avoid them by any means? Where was there a safe hiding place for his diamonds until next day? Would mother inspire him again as she had not failed to do during so many strange events? Would her spirit guide his footsteps across this new quicksand on whose verge he hesitated? A few doors to the left was O'Brien's shop. The old man crept into sight, staggering under the weight of a shutter-. Good gracious! Why had he not thought of this ally sooner? Some precious minutes were wasted already. "Arrah. Phil, phwat in the worruld" "Wait just the least bit, Mr. OTrien. I have some portmanteaus that I want to store for the night. Do let me put them at the back of your shop. My place is not very safe, you know." "Sure, boy, that's a shmall thing to Fx. Bring 'em, an' welcome." With the speed of a deer Philip dived into the mews. He carried the two lesser bags without extraordinary difficulty and deposited them 'behind O'Brien's counter. The third was almost too much for him, as the weight was all in one hand, but he got it there, breathless with the exertion. He had to open the fourth and tear out the stuffing of paper. When filled with the packages taken from the

you-flrstsav him looking lnthroug;i your window. What were you doing at the time?" "Packing my portmanteau." "Oh, packing your portmauteau. "Yes. That is it." He stooped and nonchalantly threw it open. His clothes and boots and some of the other contents were exposed to view. The Inspector laughed. "Not many diamonds there, Bradley." "Xo, sir. I told you Mason was talking rubbish." "Did he say any more about me being the boy who found the meteor?" asked Philip, with a first rate attempt at a grin. "Wouldn't talk of anything else," volunteered P. C. Bradley. "Judging by the way he dropped whan I hit him, I expect he saw stars," said Philip. "Are you leaving here?" asked the Inspector. "Yes, I must. The company which owns these premises intends to pull them down on the first of next month." "What is your name?" "Anson." "Ah! I think I remember hearing something about your mother's death. Very nice woman, I was told. A lady too." "Yes; all that and more." "Of course. That accounts for your manners and appearance. Have you found some friends?" The inspector's glance roved from the serviceable portmauteau to Philip's tidy garments, and it was his business to make rapid deductions. "Yes, most fortunately." "Anybody connected with Sharpe & Smith?" the constable put in. "Sharpe & Smith? Who are they?" "Don't you know? Their young man certainly didn't seem to know much about your movements. He ho,s been here twice looking for you. The first time was let me see last Monday about 4 o'clock. I was on duty in the main road, and he asked me for some information. We came and looked in, but your door was locked. The man on this beat this afternoon told me

that the same cleric was making fur- i body.

This youngster had not been favored by any such extraordinary- niece of

luck. Simple chance had led him to j put the police on the track of a much ! wanted scoundrel, and he had very J bravely prevented a member of the i force from being badly worstvd ia the j ensuing encounter. j A subscription would be made among J the olficers and men of the division, i una they would give him a silver watch with a suitable inscription. The inspector noted the address given by Philip. It wa on the tip of his tongue to ask his Christian name, when the constable suggested that they ! should examine the stable in which Mason had hidden. , They went up the mews. Philip ! locked his door, extinguished his can- j die and lay down on the mattress, fully dressed, with his newly bought j rug for covering. I He was so utterly tired, po exhausted i physically and mentally by the sturm ' und drang of this eventful day that , he was sound asleep when the two men returned. They saw him through the window. "lie's a fine lad," said the inspector 1 thoughtfully. "I wonder what he Is going to make of himself. We might have asked him who his friends were, I

but they are not badly off, or he couldn't have got that bag and his new clothes. What on earth caused Mason to connect him with that diamond story?" "It's hard to say," observed the constable. "I will look round and have a chat with him in the morning. Poor littla chap! He's sleeping like a top now." The inspector called at No. 3 Johnsou's Mews soon after 10 next morning, but the door was locked and the bird flown. He spoke to Mason after that worthy was remanded for a week, but a night's painful seclusion had sealed th? burglar's lips. He vowed, with fearful emphasis, to "get even" with the kid who "ahted" him, for the policeman's evidence had revealed the truth concerning the arrest. But not another word would Mason say about the diamonds, and for a little while the inspector placed his overnight revelations in the category of myths familiar to the police in their daily dealings with criminals. Philip awoke shortly before 7. He was cold and stiff. The weather was chilly, and there was no ardent meteor in the back yard to keep the temperature of the house at a grateful point during the night. But his active young frame quickly dissipated the effects of a deep sleep on a drafty floor. He washed his face and hands at the sink in the scullery, and his next thought was for breakfast, a proof, if proof were needed, that he arose refreshed in mind and

ther inquiries today, so as soon as I came on night duty I strolled into the mews to find out if you were at home. That is how I happened to see you." He turned toward the inspector. "He was packing his bag at the moment, sir, and Mason had evidently been scared from the window by my footsteps in the arch." The inspector pursed out his underlip.

ir, so he dragged it bodily alons the mews and into the shop. A passerby offered to help him. "No, thanks," he managed to say, though the effort to speak calmly took away his remaining breath. "I am only taking it to the shop there." The man glanced at the shop it was a marine store dealer's a place where lead and iron and brass found ready sale. He passed on. "Be the forchun uv war, Thil, where did ye get the iligant leather thrunks an phwat's in them?" inquired the astonished pensioner.

"No." said Philip, surprised by this odd question. "Bradley, he hasn't got a watch," observed the inspector. He again addressed Thilip. "Where are you going tomorrow?" 'I am not quite sure, but my address will be known to Mrs. Wrigley, the James street laundry. Shepherd's Bush." "Ah! The constable says you do not wish to be mixed up in the arrest of Mason.

If things go on as they are, there'll soon be room enough in the poor ould shop. To think afther all these years that a murtherin' thief in the war office" Philip was safe. He rapidly helped his friend to put up the shutters and rushed back to No. 3. Even yet he was not quite prepared for eventualities. He ran upstairs and gathered a few articles belonging to his mother, articles he never endeavored to sell even when pinched by hunger. The last dress she wore, her boots, a hat, an album with photographs, some toilet accessories from the tiny dress

ing table, the coverlet of the bed on

which she died these and kindred mementos made a very credible bulk in the denuded portmanteau. He gave one glance at the hole in the back yard as he went to the coal house for a fresh supply of coal. That must remain. It probably would not be seen. In any case it remained inexplicable. He was stirring the fire when a tap sounded on the door, and the policeman entered, followed by an inspector.

I shouldn't be here now me fairly cornered."

In the Mile End road there are plenty of early morning restaurants. At one of them he made a substantial meal, and, on his return to the mews, he lost not a moment in carrying out a systematic search through all parts of the house and yard for any traces of the meteor which might have escaped his ken in the darkness. Amid the earth and broken stones of the excavation there were a few fragments of ore and some atomic specimens of the diamantiferous material not sufficient, all told, to fill the palm of his hand, but he gathered them for obvious reasons and then devoted five vigorous minutes with O Brien's spade to the task of filling up the deep hole itself. By lowering the flagstones and breaking the earth beneath he soon gave the small yard an appearance of chaos which might certainly puzzle people, but which would afford no possible cleAv to the nature of the disturbing element. At best they might imagine that the aread evidence m j oru crim.'j lay in the broken area. If so, they could dig until they were tired. But,
