Some persons can appreciate joke,
even though they be the victims of 1t.
Private Weed, of Company \, as A. o.
Marshalfs Army Life records, had
the ability of seeing justice in the alb
stract, although its application was
personal and undeserved. Weed was
always getting into trouble by hap
pening along at the wrong time, as In
the following Instance, when he re-
ceived punishment for depredations in
which he took no part.
One day, as he was walking down
in command at Indlanola, Tex. during

containing much stock, were aban-

CHAPTER XI.
IN CLOVER

After picking up his belongings at the
outftter's, two smart Gladstone bags
with "P. A" nicely painted on them,
Philip stopped his cab at Somerset House.
He experienced no difficulty in reaching
the proper department for stamping
documents, and thus giving them legal
significance.
An official glanced at Isaacstein's CON
tract note, and then looked at Philip, evil

eyes," agreed Philip, who had not the
remotest idea what he meant.
"Sixpence," was the curt rejoinder
Philip thought he would be called on
to pay many pounds-some amount in
the nature of a percentage of the sum
named in the agreement. He produced
the coin demanded, and made no com
ment. With stamp or without, he knew
that Isaacstein would go straight in this
preliminary undertaking. A single
glimpse of the monster diamond in his
pocket had made that quite certain.
For the rest, he was rapidly making
out a plan which should secure his inter
ests effectually. He hoped, before the
day was out, to have set on foot arrange
ments which would free him from all
anxiety.
From Somerset House he drove to the
Pail Mall hotel. A gigantic hall porter,
looking like a youthful major general in

where an urbane clerk instantly classed
him as the avant courier of an American

"One bedroom?" was the surprised
query.

eyes"
The clerk fumbled with the register.
Precocious juveniles were not unknown
to him, but a boy of Philips type had
not hitherto arisen over his horizon
"a sitting room and a bedroom en-
suite?" he repeated.

The clerk was disconnected by Philips
steady gaze.
"On what hoori" he asked
Really" said Philip, 81 don't know
Suppose you tell me what acoommoda-
tim you haze Then / will decide at
once"
The official. who was one of the most
skilled hotel clerks in London, found it
ridiculous to be put out of countenance
by mere boy, who could not be a day
older than II, and might be a good deal
less. He cast critical eye on Philips
clothing, and saw that, while it was good,
it had not the gloss of We're de We're.
He would paralyze him at one fell blow,
little dreaming that the other read his
glance and knew the exact mental process
of his reasoning
