Il shall cable to the bank this very day." con-
tinued the millionaire. who knows what vii
lany is at the bottom of it? I believe those
hospitals capable of anything"
Don't talk nonsense replied Mrs. MoSenthal
in voice of stone; besides, you know perfectly
web il is too late to cable TO England to-day"
The occult influences which in the stiffness of
the night direct the destinies Of married men
battle investigation. But the resulting phenom-
ena may be recorded. Mr.. MosenthaI did not
cable 10 London on the following day, but the
captain, to his great surprise, received orders
10 set his ships head for England forthwith.
The return of the millionaire was duly an
nounced among the movements of other i'm
pOrtant persOnages Indeed the newspapers had
been quite busy with his name. He read &C
counts of his own career amazing in their de-
tailed inaccuracy. He had begun life in fifty
different ways. and with sums of money in his
pocket varying from halfpenny to two shillings
and siXpence. He became acquainted for the
first time with instances of his own beneyoience
shadCwing forth though dImly, the final bene-
| faction which had made him famous Mrs.
Mosenthal adopted all these incidents with the
utmost readiness. She remembered particulars
the most diverse and the most contradictory.
| She even persuaded Mr. MosenthaI that ne re-
membered some OF then.-too.
The seal was set upon their fame when they
arrived at Dover for there at the Lord Warden
| Hotel. Lord and Lady Howard de Howard, most
exclusive of British aristocracy. on their way to
| the embassy in Paris actually came up 10 the
| MOsenthals and entered into friendly converse
/ True their talk not of hospitals nor OF nun
dredS Of thousands of pounds; but their interest
| in the cruise of the Argosy and IN the general
| welfare OF Mr.. and Mrs Mosenthal was a
| marked advance their usual frigid bow. an
| advance which the gratifed millionaire and ms
| lady attributed to its true source.
