exclaimed The old rool"'

nlsn's later carrying his overcoat downstairs on

was pruning the flowers the stand I'm the
hall. and Harriet was near her receiving some
orders
Mrs. HodSson. would you-ah?'-- he asked
politely.

with his overcoat"
As he went out the professor slammed Tho 1oor
so hard as fairly 20 make the Gower-pots trem-
Die, but Mrs HodEson only smiled She had re-
covered her dignity and her faith in her art de-
spite sour criticism. The professor determined
never to forgive her now. To prove 1t he ate yo-
raciously OF the Museum mutton pie for lunch
con- The result was indigestion, which he at
tributed to the omelet
He was rudely awakened next morning by Har-
riet, who was sweeping and dusting in his sit
ting room. Heretofore Mrs. Hodgson had made
IL point to attend to this herself. doing It so
quietly that the professor was never disturbed
however. he had his chop for breakfast and
everything else, even to the overcoat lying on
the chair where he had thrown it the night be-
fore, was as he had ordered

happened before; but he had always found the
notebook on his desk in the morning.
Did you see book the floor?' he cried to
Harriet, when she had answered the fierce ring
ing of the bell.

Find 1t! Find it," he thundered. Don't dare
to come back without IT."
Poor Harriet's face burned as she went down
stairs, for she knew. II the professor didn't that
the refuse wagon had called some fifteen min
utes ago. The professor paced up and down
with anger in his heart against Mrs. Hodgson
and her omelets. until there was a soft knock
at the door, which he recognized as Mrs Hodr
sons. He presumed she had come to anoIoriza
FOR what she would doubtless call IAN unfortu-

terms that hers was the worst conducted house
in London.

out to him. Though Harriet had found II on

f,r-ah. Very we'll"

His friend observed that the Museum mutt
ton pie on that date was especially good The
professor ate OF 1t heartily. but was soon feeling
50 badly that he concluded To devote the re
nlaindcr OF the afternoon to searching for rooms
After climbing the stairs OF seven different
houses he began to speculate upon how in the
world landladies were able to let such miserable
nl-kept apartments to anybody. At place,
in 4 moment of absent -mndcdness he actually
asked il the cook could make good omelets
When the landlady said Yes" he told her alb
rupty that he wouldn't think OF taking her
rooms. 1t was on his tongues end to add that
the making OF omeiets not an art to be
spoken OF lightly, when he remembered that this
was the very expression Mrs. Iiodgson had once
used. lie determined never to utter the word
omelet again. Weary and cross ne returned
TO his rooms. In the morning noisy Harriet
robbed him of his sleep. and he went into his
sitting-rooEl to face chop and a disordered
desk again.
Snail We have customary mutton pie?
the tempter asked him at 1 O'clock
Il have an engagement to-day. was the
reply.
The engagement turned out to be In a little
restaurant in Great Russel-st and before he
realized 1t the ycarninS OF his stomach had put
request for an omelet into words a fat
ton. with no individuality Whatsoever overdone
on one side and underdone tie other. was
placed before him.
Don't you know" he exclaimed fretfully TO
the waitress, that omelet Is a work OF art
not to boz Here he stopped abruptly. But
will eat-the thing he added.
On Saturday morning when he went out to his
chop and disordered desk two strange trunks In
the corner Of the sitting-room reminded him
that he had not yet engaged another lodging
Mrs Hodgson came in. She hoped that his
luggage was packed, the other gentleman
was coming In hour. The professor did
not reply. Twice he lifted his cup OF tea and
set 1t down without drinking
Then may take 1t that you are ready?' she
asked
mo As a matter OF fact, I've been so busy
that haven't had time to look about much

could have only for a week. It would"-he spoke
with great reserve-''be In the nature-ah-or an
accommodation"
1t happened by mere chance, Mrs Hodgson
was careful to explain, that this was possible.
Harriet was sent to help him carry up his be-
lonSings. When the wreckage left by the way
side had been collected and everything he pos
sessed piled heller skelter in the little room
on the third floor, the professor concluded that
he would make no attempt to put things right
for short stay.
He heard a cab drive up in front of the bouso
