As all the smaller diamonds have now boon disposed of and there remain only the large stones, he thinks that some of them might be cut into sections. They are unmarketable at present." "Very well. Let us appoint a day next week and overhaul the entire collection. I intend to keep the big ones to form the center ornaments of a tiara, a necklace and gewgaws of that sort." "I am glad to hear it." "My dear fellow, I suppose there will be a Mrs. Anson some day, but I have not found her yet. "Whoe'er she b That not impossible she, That shall command my heart and me." And a ripple of laughter chased away the last shadows from his face. CHAPTER XIV. n Mil. Al'.l XGDON took his dejg parture at an early hour. His J5 excellent wile was mdisposed, and her age rendered him anxious. Thilip wrote a curt letter to Sharpe Sc Smith. He had given thought to their statements, he said, and wished to hold no further communication with either Sir Philip Morland or his representatives. Then he ordered his private hansom. Intending to visit the Universities' club. It was a fine evening, one of those rare nights when blase London abandons herself for an hour to the delights of spring. The tops of omnibuses passing through Park lane were enlivened by muslin dresses and flower covered hats. Men who passed in hansoms wore evening dress without an overcoat. Old earth was growing again, and if weather wise folk predicted that such an unusually high temperature meant thunderstorms and showers It would indeed be a poor heart that did not rejoice in the influences of the moment. Two powdered and noiseless footmen threw open the door as Philip appeared in the hall. He stood for a little while in the entrance buttoning his gloves. A strong electric light he loved light fell .on him and revealed his firm face and splendidly proportioned frame. He cast a critical eye on a sleek horse in the shafts and smiled pleasantly at the driver. "Good gracious, Wale," he said, "your cattle are becoming as fat as yourself I" "All your fault, sir," was the cheerful reply. "You don't vn:e 'em 'arf enough." "I can't pass iny time in being driven about town to reduce the weight of my coachman and horses. Wale, if you don't do something desperate there will be an 'h' after the 'w' in your name." He sprang into the vehicle. With a lively "Kim up!' Wale got his stout steed into a remarkably fast trot. A tail man who had been loitering and smoking beneath the trees across the road for a long time sauntered toward a tradesman's cart which was standing near the area gate of the next house while the man in charge J gossiped with a kitchenmaid. i "Beg pardon!" he said to the couple. j "Is that Mr. Philip Anson's place?" with an indicatory jerk of his thumb. "Yes," said the man. "An' was that Mr. Anson himself who drove away in a private cab?" "Yes," said the girl. "Thanks! It does one good to see a young chap like him so jolly and comfortable and provided with everything he can want in the world, eh?" "I wish I 'ad a bit of 'is little lot." sighed the greengrocer's assistant, with a side glance at the maid. The stranger laughed harshly. "It's hard to say when ye're well off." he growled. "Up one day and down the other. You never know your luck." Away he went southward. His long vigil on the pavement near the railings seemed to have ended. In riecadilly he took an omnibus to the Circus and there changed to another for the Elephant and Castle. He walked rapidly through the congeries of mean streets which lie to the east of that bustling center and paused at last before a house which was occupied by respectable people, judging by the cleanly curtains and general air tt tidiness. He knocked. A woman appeared. Did Mrs. Mason live there? No. She knew nothing cf her. Had only been In tho place eighteen months. The man evidently appreciated the migratory habits of the poor too well to dream of prosecuting further inquiries among the neighbors. He strolled about, reading the names over the small shops, the corner public houe, the dressmakers semiprivate residences. At last he paused before a somewhat grim establishment an undertaker's oifice. He entered. A youth was whistling the latest music hail song. "Do you know anything of a Mrs. Mason who used to live in this locality i about ten years ago?" he asked, i "Mrs. Mason? There may be forty

Mrs. Masons. What was her Christian name an address?" . "Mrs. Hannah Mason, . Ii Frederick Etreet." The youth skillfully tilted back his stool until he reached a ledger from a shelf behind him. He ran his eye down an index, found a number and pulled out another book. "We buried her on the 20th of November, nine years since," he said coolly, rattling both tomes back into their places. "You did, eh? Is there anybody here who remembers her?" Something in the husky voice of this stark, ill favored man caused the boy to become less pert. "Father's in," he said. "I'll ring for him." Father came. He had a vague memory of the woman, a widow with two children boys, he thought. Somebody helped her in her last days and paid for the funeral paid cash, according to the ledger. He did not know who the friend was nor had he any knowledge of the children's fate. Workhouse, most probably. What workhouse? Parish of Southwark. Easy to find. Just turn so-and-so, and so-and-so. With a grunt of acknowledgment the inquirer passed into the street. He gave an eye to the public house, but resolutely quickened his pare. At the workhouse he succeeded, with some dilliculty, in interviewing the master.

If was after office hours, but as he had j journeyed a long way an exception would be made in his case. Books were consulted to ascertain the fate of two boys, John and William Mason, who would now be aged twenty and eighteen respectively. Youthful Masons had certainly been in the schools one was there nt the moment, in fact but none of them answered to the description supplied. The workhouse master was sorry. The records gave no clew. Again the man sought the dark seclusion of the street. He wandered slowly toward a main thoroughfare and entered the first public house he encountered. He ordered G penny worth of brandy and drank it gulp. Then he lit a pipe and at a i went forth again. "That was an ugly lookin' customer," said an habitue to the barman. "'E 'ad a fice like a fifth act at the Surrey," agreed the other. If they knew the toast that Jocky Mason had pledged so readily, they would have better grasped the truth of this unfavorable diagnosis of his character. "Ten years' penal servitude, four years' police supervision, my wife dead and my children lost, all through a smack on the head given me by Philip Anson,", he communed. "Here's to getting even with him!" It was a strange outcome of his long Imprisonment that the man should have acquired a fair degree of culture. He was compelled to learn in jail to a certain extent, and reading soou became a pleasure to hi in. Moreover, he picked up au acquaintance with a smooth spoken mate of the swell mobsman and long firm order a dandy who strove to be elegant even in convict garb. Mason's great strength and indomitable courage appealed to the more artistic if more effeminate rogue. Once the big man saved his comrade's life when they were at work in the quarries. The influence was mutual. They vowed lasting friendship. Victor Gienier was released six months before Mason, and the latter now crossed the river again to go to an address where ; he would probably receive some news of his professed ally's whereabouts. Grenier's name was imparted uuder inviolable confidence as that which he would adopt after his release. His real name, by which he was convicted, was something far less aristocratic. Philip's driver, being of the peculiar tjpe of Londoner which seems to be created to occupy the dicky of a hansom, did not take his master down Park lane, along Piccadilly, and so to Pall Mall. He loved corners. Give him the remotest chance of following a zigzag course and he would follow it in preference to a route with all the directness of a Roman road. Thus it happened as he spun round Carlos place into Berkeley square he nearly collided, with another vehicle which dashed into the square from Davies street. Both horses pulled up with a jerk, there was a sharp fusillade of what cabmen call "langwidge," and the other hansom drove on, having the best of the strategical position by a stoieu yard. Philip lifted the trapdoor, "lias he a fare. Wale?" "Yes, sir, a lytly." "Oh. leave him alone then! Otherwise I would have liked to see you ride him off at the corner of Breton street." Wale, who was choleric, replied with such force that Philip tried to say sternly: "Stop that swearing. Wale." "Beg pardon, sir. I'm sure, but I wouldn't ha' minded if it wasn't my own old keb. Didn't you ppot it?" "You don't tell me so. How odd!" "And to think of a brewer's drayman like that gettln 'old of it. Well"Wale put the lid on in case his employer might hear any more of his sentiments. Philip, leaning back to laugh, for Wale's vocabulary was amusing if not St for publication, suddenly realized the queer trick that even the events la the life of an individual have of repeating themselves. In one day, after an interval of many years, he had been suddenly confronted by personages connected with the period of his sufferings, with the very garments he wore at that time, with , I u : , U 1, .. ,3 X.. . .. m . . - Uitt uu m xxiiivu lie uiuxe livua vaiienwell to Hatton Oarden. Abingdou had dined with him; Isaacstein had Eent hici a message; his dxivar vaa

was the cabman who made him a present of 2 shillings, a most fortunate transaction for Wale, as it led to his

selection to look after Philip's London stable. i All who had befriended the forlorn j boy in those early days had benefited ! to an extraordinary degree. The cof- ) fee stall keeper who gave him coffee j grounds and crusts, the old clothes j man who cut down the price of his j first outfit, Mrs. Wrigiey, going hope- 1 lessly to her toil in a Shepherd's Bush laundry; Mr. Wilson of Grant & Sons, the kindly jeweler of Lndgate Hill, were each sought cut and either placed j in a good business or bounteously re- j warded for the services they had ren- j tiered. O'Brien, of course, was found j a sinecure cilice at the Mary Anson j home. ! As for the doctor, he owed his Harley street practice to the millionaire's j help and patronage. J It is worthy of note that Philip never j were a watch other than that present- ! ed to him by the police of the White- j chapel division. i It was an ordinary English silver S lever, and he carried it attached to a knotted bootlace. I Did he but know how far the historical parallel had gone that day how Jocky Mason had waited for hours outside his residence in the hope of seeing him and becoming acquainted with his appearance he might have been surprised, but he would never have guessed the evil that this man would accomplish, and in some measure accomplish unconsciously. He was not in his club five minutes when a friend tackled him for a concert subscription. "Anson, you are fond of music. Here is a new violinist, n Hungarian, who wants a start. I heard him In Budapest last autumn. He is a good chap. Take some stalls." Philip glanced at the programme. "Eckstein nt the piano, I see. He mu-t be a star. Who Is the soprano? I have never heard her name before." "Miss Evelyn Atherley," read his friend over his shoulder. "I don't know her myself. Dine with me here ! j. t I t . 1 1 i i. tomorrow nignr. w e wui go uuu ueur m? performance afterward." "Can you distribute stalls among your acquaintances?" "My dear fellow. I will be delighted. Sorry I can't help Jowkacsy a bit myself." "You are helping him very well. I will take a dozen, two for you and me. ten elsewhere for the claque." "You are a good chap, nello. there's Jones! Jones Is good for a couple. Don't forget tomorrow night." And the good natured enthusiast. who was a terror to many of his friends, ran off to secure another victim. Philip had sent his hansom home. Shortly before 11 he quitted the club. Intending to v.aik to Park lane by a circuitous route long enough to consume a big cigar. He chanced to pass the hall 1n which the concert was to take place. A few people were hurrying from the stage door. Evidently, a rehearsal had just taken place. A short man with a huge cluster of flowing locks that offered abundant proof of his musical genius ran cut with a violin case in his hand. He was about to enter a hansom waiting near the curb, but the driver said: "Engaged, sir." The man did r.ot seem to understand, so the cabby barred his way with tho whip and shook his head. Then the stranger rushed to a neighboring cab rank evidently an excitable gentleman, with the high strung temperament of art. A lady quitted the hall a few seconds later. "Are you engaged?" Thilip heard her ask the cabman. "No. miss." "Take me to No. 44 Malda Crescent. Regent's park," she said. After arranging her skirts daintily she entered the vehicle. "Th.it !a r.r1A " thrmfV,- PhHtn xrhr j ha witn0SPe(1 ' both Jncklent, in the course of a six yards' walk. He glanced at the cabman and fancied the man gave a peculiar look of Intelligence toward a couple of fashionably dressed loungers who stood In the shadow of the closed public entrance. The two men, without exchanging a word to Philip's hearing, went to a brougham standing at some little distance. They entered. The coachman, who received no instructions, drove off in the same direction as the hansom, and as if to make sure he was being followed the cab driver turned to look behind him. Once in Naples Philip saw a man stealthily following a woman down an unlighted alley. Without a moment's hesitation be went after the pair and was just in time to prevent the would be assassin from plunging an uplifted stiletto into the woman's back. The recollection of that little drama Cashed Into his mind now. There was a suggestion of the Neapolitan bravo's air in the manner in which these men stalked a girl who was quite unaware of their movements. He asked himself why a cabman should refuse one fare and pick up another in the same spot. The affair was certainly odd. He would see further Into it before he dismissed it from his :houghts. The distance to Maida Creslent was not greatWhile thinking he was acting. He rprang Into the nearest hansom. "A brougham is following a hansom up Langham place," he said to the driver. "'Keep behind them. If they separate, follow the brougham. When It stops, pull up at the best place to avoid notice." The man nodded. Nothing surprises a London cabman. Soon the three vei hces were spinnin t drcle. i j aloEg the Outer j iTo be Continued.) Aak tbe family nptalr to Bobecrlbe.
