in widows weeds, which bore the
loyal and not unnecessary legend,
God save the Queen" Much as this
portrait of Her Majesty was admired
by patriotic paSSers, the most critical
were of the opinion that, as a likeness,
it was not quite up to the level of a
portrait of a mackerel, which formed
the companion picture.
But the gem of the cOlection-in the
opinion of materially-min folk at
all events--was a rasher of bacon, in
which even such detail as the section
of sawn bone was pictured so faith
fully that one patron of art declared
that it made him hungry to think of
it friZZling in the pan; while for low
ers and people of poetic temperament,
a moonlight scene done in dark blue
chalk with white effects, a sunset that
Slared in crimson and yellow, and a
shipwreck in black and gray with a
white lifeboat putting out to the res
cue, completed the exhibition.
Having disguised myself as a work
ing man, waited until | knew there
would not be many people passing, in
order that | might ask the artist if
he were willing to enter into negotia-
tions for the sale of his business. He
was sitting with his back to the rail-
ing, his cap being displayed beside him
to invite the, casual copper.
What is it?" he said suspiciously,
when | told him | wanted word with
him.
'Nothin' much, mate" | replied.
Only I've got a little money laid by,
and thought o. settin' up in your line
myself and wanted to buy business.
How much III yer sell this yer show
stand and all-for, eh?"
To my surprise he leapt to his feet
eXcitedly, and grasped the lapel of my
coat, he peered into my face as if he
expected to recognize me- Then he ex-
claimed in voice hoarse with pas
sion:
Come, drop it! None of your tricks
with me; | was prepared for some
thing of this sort! Who are you? A
detective, Ell? Speak up! for I'll stand
none of your nonsense!"
1t was getting dark, but not so dark
that | did not see a peculiar twitching
OF the eyebrows, which | had noticed
as the only sign of excitement that
Number Three had betrayed when, at
the drawing of lots in the gypsy wagon,
he discovered that it had fallen to his
share TO assist Number Two in obtain
ing possession of the concealed dyna-
mite. Yes, it was Number Three un-
questionably, and | had indeed made as
pretty a mess of the business as was
possible.
Staggered as I was, however, | did
not lose my presence of mind. mo!

two pariah dogs who cringed before

desire to intrude into the house. The
