boots found they were gone. Thinking
they hadn't been returned by the porter I
rang the bell and went on dressing The
boy who answered my call went below, and
in few minues returned with q night porter,
who swore he had cleaned my boots early in
the evening and replaced them outside my
door, 1t was about 20 minutes to my train
time and no boots. They went down, and
presently came back with room clerk, but
no boots. There was a general consulta-
tion, after which they all went down again.
Then they came back and informed me that
the check list of the night porter showed
nv number had been duly cleaned and that
no boots were left on hand.
"They looked at my feet, and the charac-
ter of the spectacle made me feel quite un-
comfortable, don't you know. You see, I
have a pretty big foot / described the
boots, which were made in Yorkshire, and
were peculiarly broad and heavy. 4 don't
see why anybody would want to wear them
boots away said the porter.
"1t's a mistake said the clerk. TITS a
mistake, of course. I'll find the list of men
on this floor So they went below again
and brought up the list There were some
20 men on it and a boy.
Waiting for the Guilty Man.
"'Nobody has gone,' said the clerk, so
they must be here
"fNobody but the actresses said the
porter. They took the o'clock express
"'They couldn't have taken the boots
replied the clerk. We laughed at the idea.
''In the meantime my train had gone,
also. I asked if couldn't send out for
pair, but it was Sunday morning and they
said it was impossible. 1 had a pair of
galoshes in my bag and got those out, and
by invitation of the clerk went down and
sat in the Office until the men on my floor
got up. As they came down and were in
spected one by one, thought what a won
derful country yours is, don't you know,
where fellow could have such time-such
a variety, you know, within 48 hours. I
never heard of man having his boots
stolen in England this way, and told the
clerk it was good thing 1 had slept with
my boots on in the sleeping car. If I'd
lost them there, you know, l should have
had to come away in my stocking feet. We
made quite merry over it, though was
very much put out by the robbery. 1t was

! gan to come around to get look at the
Englishman who hadn't any boots, sitting
in the hotel Office in old galoshes. This was
very embarrassing, especially when the
curious were ladies' Among the latter was
the lady who had slept below me in the
sleeper. She looked very sorry, but she
laughed-oh, how she did laugh!
You're quite sure you didn't leave 'em
In your berth?' said she.
Laughed Till She Shed Tears.
'They all thought this was funny and
chaffed me numerically. As for the lady,

when she went away. Just then a big,
black chambermaid came trooping down
stairs and in her right hand she held aloft-

just took that young man by the ear and led
him back into the private office. Here we
met the proprietor. When we came out it
was with thorough understanding. They
happened to know the absent lady, who is,
may add, above suspicion. They treated
