A LOST ROYAL CLOAK.
How it Fell Into the Hands of a
Second Hand Clothes Dealer.
From london Modern Society.

From London Modern Society.
An amusing story of how royal
cloak once fell into the hands of an
obscure secondhand wardrobe dealer
at Portsmouth is just now going the
rounds of naval circles of this port.
As is well known, there are periodical
sales of condemned stores" at the va
rious dockyards, and ON the occasion
in question among the 'lota' brought
under the hammer We're some of the
cast-oft furniture and appurtenances
of the late queens yacht Victoria and
Albert.
A local dealer purchased some of the
smaller lots and upon unpacking them
on his arrival home he discovered that
among them was neatly tied-up
bundle containing n magnificent cloak
of purple velvet, lined With silk of
rich crimson hue. While he was en-
deavorlng TO decide what he should DO
withe precious raiment u sailor belong
ing to the ship called in, and upon be-
ing shown the CLOAK he identified it
as one he had seen the late Queen
Victoria frequently wearing While on
the yacht.
Jack went back to the vessel full of
lit Hlpis, 'lui'hlS SIltuu from
lower deck to gun room, ana from gun
room to ward room. Here the officer
responsible for the cloak's disappear
ance heard of it, and visions of break
ers ahead We're followed ny determi-
nation to get it back at any cost. But
the task was not so easy. To his cha
grin the officer found that since its dis
posal the value of the cloak had risen
by leaps and bounds, and his offer of a
five-pound note for the garment was
received with scorn After great
deal of arguing and beating down"
the dealer was daz2led by the twelve
bright sovereigns in the open palm of
the officer, and he consented to accept
that sum for the cloak. Thus it was
restored to it's rightful place, and, al
though minus his twelve sovereigns.
the offiC<r had the satisfaction of see
ing the cloak again donned by her late
majesty shortly after she little sus-
pecting since she had last worn the
garment it had been temporarily To-
Gated in secondhand shop near Com
mon Hard.
