: my DEAR SIR. EXCUSE Me-"
excused when you desire. You will
come? Thanks.
The professor followed his host in a
state of absolute subsection, as ii he
might have been hypnotized; but the
fact was that the poor man had not
broken his fast since morning, and the
delicious aroma of the dinner coming
through the open door proved irresisti-
BILE. He gave his name in wilssner,
was handed over to a servant who took
him. upstairs into a guest chamber,
helped him to remove his shabby over
coat, and whisked off his best suit with
a silver handled brush, taking Its
threadbare CLINT for dust. 1t was we'll
he was engaged to play, otherwise he
would not have been in evening dress.
He was beginning to enjoy the little
comedy in which he was himself an
actor.
There was no introduction. His host
motsAned him to a seat between the
maidaa lady and severe matron who
turned her sillken back on him to talk
to her neighbor on the other side. The
professors pride did not once assert
itself He was masquerading-that was
all.
But fate had not done with Professor
Smythe.
q The consomme had a dash of cham
payne IN it. and new life was infused
into the veins of this professional diner
out. The fish and game and pate that
followed We're all triumphs of the GU
linary art, and the hungry man cloyed
the edge of his appetite, not by the bare
imagination of feast, but by the feast
itself. 1t was no feast of the Barmecide
either for the viands We're actual, and
the wine was not pretense, but de-
ightfui vintage, served in cut-g1ass COB
let's. The poor professor felt like saying
to his neighbor, pinch mel for it was
like dream or an Illusion rather than a
reality.
But the striking of the clock reminded
him that he had been there an hour, and
as he had broken the spell of the I'M
lucky 49, he ventured to excuse himself
and rose stiflly from his place and
bowed himself out of the room.
He was followed by a servant, who
shanded him an envelope with the COM
pliments of the gentleman with whom |
he had just dined Not for worlds |
would he have opened it, though it was
unsealed, before the man, but he ac- |
cepted it graciously and went upstairs
to get his hat and overcoat unattended.
\ A number of handsomely appointed |
chambers We're on the upper hall, and
the professor glanced into each as he
passed on his way to the particular
guest-chamber where he had left his
belongings. Perhaps he was a trifie
overcome by sherry and other bever-
ages, but he thought the room had been
darkened and that he was right He
stood moment in the doorway and
looked cautiously in, peering about at
the luxury, but at the same time not
ing that it was not the dressing-room
for which he was looking. Before he
could step back and tern down the cor
rdor again, the unexpected happened.

WASHINGTON, July &c. Some idea OF
the severity of the measures which the
