The rugs were not there, but probably
he had them on deck with him.
Pemberman changed his wilted shirt
and after wash went on deck to look for
the Englishman with his dollar.
Sitting in sheltered corner out OF the
wind, he found the man who tailed with
the description very closely
He did not choose to speak to him then;
there was plenty of time, since they would
be on the same vessel together for week.
He was like the Dutchman who, when
ne heard that his bank was going to fail,
went to draw his money out, but when
he found that he could get it, he didn't
want it.
After seeing the man, who he was sure
had the locket, Pemberman breathed
more freely, and then began to stroll
around among the passengers in the hope
of discovering some friend, but he was
not so fortunate as to do so.
Finally he saw his man go below, evil
IDENTIFY on the way to the stateroom, so
Pemberman concluded that he would go
down and see if the man was to be his
companion.
Sure enough he was and Pemberman
made his acquaintance as they washed
and dressed for dinner, which they ate
(most people do not eat their first dinner
at sea) at the same table seated next to
one another.
Pemberman learned that the man S
name was George Clifford Ellis, wealthy
country gentleman OF Surrey county.
His conversation was very interesting,
for he had travelled very extensively and
seen most of the countries of the civilized
world.
After dinner they went on deck, and
while they walked up and down together
smoking, Pemberman told the English
man how he happened to be aboard of the
ship:
than the people of any other nation, - re-
marked Mr.. Cliford-E1lis, when he had
heard the story.
ST have the dollar the ticket agent gave
me in Philadelphia, Tor had intended to
keep it as souvenir of this trip. but L
will be only glad to give it to you, es-
pecially as it is locket and not real
dollar.''
He pulled a dollar from his pocket and
handed it to Pemberman, sayings:
81 know this is the same one he gave
me for had no other and have received
no change since.'
Pembermau seized it and examined
first one side and then the other, as he
did SO his countenance fell and an express
sion of most intense despair was depicted
on his face.
'sThis is not the locket. This is a real
dollar,'' said he in voice which plainly
showed his disappointment, and he handed
the dollar back.
''That's beastly hard luck, my dear sir;
but keep your spirits up and take the next
steamer back for New York, and then adj
yertise for it, and nine chances out OF ten
you will get the locket back. That is the
only chance you will have by that time,
for it will be impossible to trace it then,
but there is no reason why you should
despair of finding it.''
The state of Pemberman's feelings can
better be imagined than described. and
his attempt to look pleasant was a dis
tinct failure. Mr.. Clifford Ellis did all
he could to make the rest of the voyage
bearable for Pemberman, but he sue
ceede1 only in part, for that young man
was about as miserable as anyone could
well be.
He went to the captain and found that
the first vessel he could take back would
be on the Wednesday after the arrival of
the Umbria, she was to arrive on Satur-
day night late.
When at last they touched at Queens
town, two cablegrams were delivered to
Pemberman, the first OF which read:
PHILADELPHIA.
Pemberman, Care of S. S. Umbria. Queens
town:
Did not spend dollar. JoHNsToNE.
The second read:
NEWPORT.
PemDerman. Care OF S. S. Umbria. queens.
town:
Come back at once. GRACE.
No mans Joy could have been greater
over anything, than was Pemberman' s
when he read those two short cable
grams
He almost Rugged Mr.. Clifford-Ellis,
who seemed nearly as pleased as the
young American.
He invited Pembermau to come home
with him and to spend the three days
previous to his return, at his house
in Surrey.
That night the ship arrived at Liver
pool and the two newly made friends put
up for the night at the Adelphi hotel.
The next morning Pemberman had his
first glimpse of England, with her
neatly trimmed hedges and well kept
country. He also saw the ruins Of a
castle or two as they spun along in the
train to London, where they were to
take the train for the Ellis manor.
We will pass over his stay with Mr..
Clifford Ellis, for, though he had very
pleasant time, considering all things, it
has nothing to do with this story and
we will also pass over the details of the
return voyage for the same reason.
We now find Pemberman sitting in
