necessary directions for his journey.
He took the bag from Passepartout 5

asked.
"Nothlng, monsieur
"My macintosh and cloak?"
"Here they are"
Good, take this bag and Mr.. Fogg
handed it to Passepartout. And take
good care of it." he added. "there are
twenty thousand pounds in it." The
bag nearly slipped out of Passcpar-
tout's hands, as if the twenty thousand
pounds had been in gold and weighed
very heavy.
The master and servant then de-
scended and the street door was double
locked. At the end of Saville Row
there was carriage stand. Phileas
Fogg and his servant got into cab
which was rapidly driven toward Char
ing Cross Station. at which one of the
branches of the Southeastern Railway
touches. AT twenty minutes after eight
the cab stopped before the gate of the
station. Passepartout jumped out. His
master followed him and paid the
driver. AT this moment a poor beggar-
woman, holding child in her arms,
her bare feet all muddy, her head COW
cred with n wretched bonnet from
which hung a battered feather, and a
ragged shawl over her other torn gar
ments, approached Mr.. Fogg, and asked
him for help.
Mr.. Fogg drew from his pocket the
twenty guineas which he had just won
at whist, and, giving them to the woman,
said: Here, my good woman. I'm
glad to have met you" Then he passed
on.
fassepartout had something like a
sensation of moisture about his eyes.
His master had made an impression
upon his heart.
Mr.. Fogg and he went Immediately
into the large sitting-room of the sta
ton. There Phileas Fogg gave Passe-
partout the order to get two iirst-class
tickets for Paris. Then returning, he
noticed his five colleagues of the Reform
Club.

At forty minutes after eight, Phileas
Fogg and his servant took their seats
in the same compartment. At eight
forty-five the whistle sounded, and the
train started.
The night was dark. A fine rain was
falling. Phileas Fogg, leaning back in
his corner, did not speak. Passepar-
tout, still stupefied, mechanically
Rugged up the bag with the bank
notes.
But the train had not passed Syden-
ham, when Passepartout uttered a real
cry of despair!

Fogg.
