COPYRIGHT. 1904. By (Continued from yesterday.) The official. who was one of the most skilled hotel clerks in London, found it ridiculous to be put out of countenance by a mere boy -who could not be a dav older than seventeen and might be a good deal less. He cast a critical eye on Philip's clothing and j saw that, wmie it was pooa, n uaa not th gloss of Yere tie Vcre. i lie would paralyze hirn at one fell blow, litth dreaming that the other read his glance and knew the exact mental process of his reasoning. '"There is a good suit vacant on the first floor, but It contains a dressing room and bathroom," he said, smiling the smile of a very knowing person. "That sounds all right. I will take it." "Ah, yes. It costs 5 a day!" Each of the six words in that portentous sentence contained a note of admiration that swelled out Into a magnificent crescendo. It was a verbal avalanche, beneath which this queer youth should be crushed into the very dust. "Five pounds a day!" observed Philip calmly. "I suppose there would be a reduction if taken for a month?" "Well er during the season it is not er usual to" "Oh. very well. I can easily arrange for a permanency later if I think lit. What number is the suit, please, and will you kindly have my luggage sent there at once?" The clerk was demoralized, but he managed to say: "Do you quite understand the terms thirty-five pounds a week!" "Yes," said Philip. "Shall I pay you a week in advance? I can give you notes, but it will oblige me if you take a check, as I may want the ready money in my possession." Receiving a faint indication that, under the circumstances, a check would le esteemed a favor, Philip whipped out his check book, filled in a check to the hotel, and did not forget to cross it "ac. payee." The clerk watched him witli an amazement too acute for words. lie produced the register and Philip signed Ins name. lie was given a receipt for the payment on account, and then asked to lie shown to his rooms. A boy smaller, but not younger, than himself a smart page, who listened to the foregoing with deep Interest asked timidly whether the guest would go by the stairs or use the elevator. "I will walk," said Philip, who liked to ascertain his bearings. The palatial nature of the apartments took, him by surprise when he reached them. Although far from be-

ing the most expensive suit in the ; looki for the lost Thilip Anson, the hotel, the surroundings were of a na- j derelict from Johnson's Mews, in the ture vastly removed from anything,,,.,,..,, t. . ,11Tnrlmisl ,,

hitherto known to him. Even the charming house he inhabited as a child in Diepne contained no such luxurv. His portmanteau fol lowed quickly, and a valet entered. 'j Philip's quick ears caught the accent of a Frenchman, and the boy spoke to the man in the language of his country, pure and undented by the barbarisms of John Bull. Thev were chatting about the weather, which, by the way, ever since the 19th of March had been extraordinarily tine, when there was a knock at the door, and the manager entered. The clerk found the situation too much for him. He had appealed to a higher authority. Even the suave and diplomatic M. Foret could not conceal the astonishment that leaped to his eyes when he saw the occupant of suit F. "I think you will find these rooms very comfortable," he said for lack of aught better. A commissionuaire was already on his way to the bank to ask if the check was all right. "Are you the manager?" asked rhilip, who was washing his hands. "Yes." "I am glad you called. One of your ' clerks seemed to be taken aback bej cause a youngster like me engaged an expensive suit. I suppose the proceeding is unusual, but there is no reason why it should create excitement. It need not be commented on, for instance." "No, no; of course not." "Thank you very much. I have a special reason for wishing to live at this hotel. Indeed. I have given this address for certain important documerits. Will you kindly arrange that 1 may ne ireaieu ie auy onuuary person. "I hope the clerk was not rude to 1 "Not in the least.

jr o EDWARD J. CLODE. tne common. Perhaps same eccentric purent or guardian encouraged him to act independently thus early in life, lie might be the son of a rich man coming to London for a special course of study. The name, Anson, was an tristocratic one. Hut his clothes they were odd. Good enough, but not the fjgi thing, ..wm you obH?e me mv recommeiul. n ,,,.,.,1 t,,iirv s.l5.i ii.;n.. .1 need a complete outht of wearing apparel, and it wWl save me a lot of trouble if somebody will tell me exactly what to buy and where to buy it." His uncanny trick of thought reading disconcerted the manager greatly. Undoubtedly the-boy was a puzzle. Never had this experienced man of the world met any one more self possessed, more direct and yet, with It all, exceedingly jmlite. "I take it that you want the best?" he inquired pleasantly. "Yes." "Are you lunching in the hotel?" "I would like something sent here, if you please, and there again your advice will be most gratefully accepted." The manager felt that a generation was growing up of Avhich he knew nothing, but he simply answered: "I will see to it. Do you er tak wine?" Philip laughed, that pleasant whole souled laugh of his which instantly secured him friends. "Not yet. monsieur" "Foret is my name." "Well, M. Foret, I am far too young as yet for either wine or tobacco. I promised my mother I would touch neither until I am twenty-one, and I will keep my word. I think I would like some cafe au lait." "I understand. Your dejeuner will be sent up in ten minutes. By the time you have finished I will have people here from two or three establishments who Avill meet all your requirements in the shape of clothes and the rest." An hour's talk and the payment of checks on account worked wonders. Before many days had passed Philip was amply provided with raiment. His presence in the hotel, too, attracted j no comment whatever. People who saw him coming or going instantly as sumed that he was staying with his people, while tho manager took caro that gossip among the employees was promptly stopped. As for the ragged youth with the diamonds, be was forgotten apparently. The newspapers dropped him, believing, indeed, that Isaacsteln had worked some ingenious advertising dodge on his own account, and Messrs. Shfli-np X- Smith nevor dreamed of expensive establishment in London. That afternoon Philin visited the j Safe DeiK)sit compauy. He bad little ditiiculty, of course, in securing a small strong room. He encountered the wonted surprise at his youth, but the excellent argument of a banking account and the payment of a year's rent in advance soon cleared the air. He transferred four of his portmantonus tn th sceenre environment. The j . ,.t. oc . . . . ... ,v. tllrt All L LA t O CI Lib .V - J light failed he drove to the East End and made a round of pawnbrokers' shops. Although some of the tickets were time expired, he recovered nearly all his mother's belongings excepting her watch. The odd coincidence recalled the insnprtAr's inmlipit nromse tnat ne : cW,,, T.onoK- nn ns rooo-nition of his gallantry. How remote, how far removed from each other, the main events in his life seemed to be at this eventful epoch! As he went westward in a hansom he could hardly bring himself to believe that barely twenty-four hours had elapsed since he traveled to the Mile End road in company with Mrs. Wrigley. And the curious thing was that he felt in no sense awed by the possession of thousands of pounds and the tenancy of palatial chambers in a great hotel. His career had been too checkered, its recent developments too stupendous, to cause him any undue emotion. Existence for the hour was a species of well ordered dream, in which imagination was untrammeled save by the need to exercise his wits in order ' tQ he bdUta5V witn5n the Eot of his QWU brain but of other men s. At the hotel he found the French valet setting forth a shirt. The mau explained that he required a spare se of studs and links. This reminded Philip that there was still a good deal of shopping to be . TT about to leave the room for the purpose when the valet said: "Another portmanteau has arrived for monsieun WiU y0u be pleased to unlock it :" ..N- phm ..It must remaIn

eye. It would hold the two best pic- I tures he possessed of his father and j mother, s; he bought it. He also ac- i quired a dispatch box in which he j could store his valuables, both jewelry ; and documents, for he had quite a : number of receipt?, letters and other 1 things to safeguard now, and he did j not wish servants prying eyes to examine everything belonging to him. j When alone in his room lie secured ' the alburn and locked that special portmanteau again, after stowing therein the letter found beneath Mrs. Anson's pillow. Soon his mother's dear face smiled at him from a beautiful border of filigree silver. The suht was pleasant to him. soothing t, .... mil mind. : In her eyes was a message of faith, of trust, of absolute eo;;;idenee in the future. It was strange that he thought so little of his father at this time, but' the truth was that his childhood was passed so much in his mother's company, and tlKy were so inseparable, during the last two yens, that memories of his father were shadowy. Yet the physiognomist would have seen that the boy owed a great deal of. his strength of character and well knit, frame to the handsome, stalwart man' whose name he here. j Philip loved his mother on the coin- j pensating principle that persons of op-j posite natures often have an overpow- j ering affinity for each other. lie re- j embled her neither in features nor in ; the more subtle traits of character. j After a dinner the excellence of j

which was in nowise diminished !iy lack of appreciation on his part he undertook a pilgrimage of curiosity to which he had previously determined to devote the evening. He wondered unceasingly to whom he was indebted for the good meals he had enjoyed in prison. Now he would endeavor to find out. A hansom took him to Ilolloway, but the first efforts of the driver failed to discover the whereabouts of the Royal Star hotel. At last Philip recollected the warder's added direction "opposite." He dismissed the cab and walked to the prison entrance. Directly in front he saw a small restaurant called the Star. Its titular embellishments were due to the warder's gift of humor. He entered. A woman was knitting at a cash desk. "Until yesterday," he said, "you sent food regularly to a boy named Anson, who was confined in the prison" "Yes." interrupted the lady. "I on'y heard this mornin" that he was let out." "Would you mind telling me who paid the bill? I suppose it was paid?' "Well, as a matter of fact, it was overpaid," was the reply. "You see, the pore lad was remanded for a week, and Mr. Judd. a man 'oo lives in the FarrlngdoTi road, kem 'ere an' arranged for 'is week's board. II a v ye j heard wot 'appened to 'hn?" rhillp's heart was in his mouth, lint he managed to answer that the boy was all right; there was no charge against him. Then he escaped into the street. The one man he had forgotten was his greengrocer friend, who had indeed acted the part of the good Samaritan. There was some excuse for this, but the boy's abounding good nature would j admit of none. He hastened to Far-i ringdon road with the utmost speed and found his fat friend putting up, the shutters of his shop. The restaurant next door was open. Philip approached quietly. "Good evening. Mr. Judd," he said, holding out his hand. "Good evenin', sir," said the greengrocer, his eyes revealing not the remotest idea of the identity of the smart young gentleman who addressed him so familiarly. "Don't you know me, Mr. Judd?" "Well, sir, I can't exactly bring to min' " "I suppose the good fare you provided for me at Ilolloway has so altered my appearance that you fail to recognize me again?" "Wot! Ye don't mean to s'y 'Ere, Eliza, this young gent is the lad I was a-tellin' you of. Remanded till Saturday, you was. I saw in the piper last night. Well, there, I'm done!" By this time Philip was inside the shop, and the stout greengrocer and his equally stout spouse were gazing open mouthed at this well dressed "Duiit yon know me, Mr. Juddt" youth who had supplanted the thin tatterdemalion so nnich discussed by them and their neighbors.
