Cockney whip. The man carefully fold
ed the evening paper he had been read
ing, stuffed it under the strap which held
his rug and cape, and chirruped to his
horse;

The run was shorter than Philip an
tlclpated, but, true to his promise, he
protfered the two shillings.
The cabman looked at him Something
IN the boys face seemed to strike him as
curious, and, Notwithstanding Philips
rags, his skin was scrupulously clean.
Cow on" he cried "I'n make yer
present OF that trip. 'Ope itM Civ yer
fresh stawt in the world Kim up,
will yer" And the hanson swung away
into the traffic, leaving the boy standing
on the pavement on the north side of
the vladuct. He made a mental note of
the cabs number. 1t was easy to re-
member-three SIS and a 9-and walked
on toward Hatton Garden
Meanwhile the cabman, after varying

the Haymarket rank while he took a
meal in the cabmen's shelter.
What's today's bettin' on the Ma

The evening paper was passed and he
cast an eye over its columns. Suddenly
he raped out a string of expressions
that amazed his companions
whats the matter, Jimmie? Missed

Go easy, mate. There's lydies out

But the cabman still swore and gazed
round-eyed at the sheet And this is
what he read;
| The boy, Philip Alorland. whose pos
| session of a collection of meteoric dia-
monds of great value has created so much
sensation, was brought up on remand to-
day at the Clerkenwell police court and
released. Mr.. Abingdon thought fit to
hear the case in camera. so this ragged
urchin is wandering about London again
with n pocketful of gems He was last
! seen entering a cab in the neighborhood
OF the police court and inquiry by our
representative at the Hatton Garden of
/ fees of Mr. lsaacstein, the diamond mer-
chant, whose name has figured in con
nection with the case, elected the infor-
nation that Morland called Their about
3 p. IN. Mr.. lsaacstein positively refused
| to make any further statement for pub
lieation, but it is probable that develop
ments in this peculiar and exciting affair
will take place at any moment"
! In word, the journalistic world was
exceedingly wroth with both Mr.. Abing-
don and the jew for baking it of very
readable bit of news. No effort would
be spared to defeat their obvious pm-
pose. Philip must be discovered by hook
or by crook, and badgered necessarily
until he divulged the secret of the meteor
At last the cabman became lucid
Pm DONE" he groaned My brains
are fuzzball Ere! Some one drink
my beer. I'm goin' in fer cowcow. |
'ad this young spark in my keb toby
an didn't know it. 'E offered me two
bob, e did. an l stood i'm drive as a
treat, e looked SIGH scarecrow'
who's next?" cried a raucous voice
at the door
II am" roared the disappointed one
well, look sharp. There's hold gent
a-wayin' is humbreller like mad"
Keep i'm. Don't let i'm GO I'll be
there in arr tick. Who knows! P'raps
it's Rothschild.'
Meanwhile Philip lid not hesitate an
instant once he reached Isaacstein's office.
A new note in his character was reveal
ing itself. Always resolute. fearless and
Outspoken, now he was confident. He
pushed open the swing door with the
manner of one who expects his fellows to
bow before him. Was he not rich-ablc
to command the services of men-whv
should he falter? He forgot his rags,
| forgot the difficulties and dangers that
might yet beset his path, for in very
truth he had achieved but little actual
progress since he first entered that office
five days earlier.
But he had suffered much since then.
and suffering had strengthened him.
Moreover he had taken the measure of
! Isaacstein. There was a score to be
wiped off before that worthy and he en-
tered into amicable business relations.
! The instant the immature jew behind
| the grille set eyes on Philip, he bounded
! back from the window and gazed at him
with frightened .ook Had this Young
| desperate broken out of prison and come
to murder them all?
"Helpi help!" he shouted. 'Murderp'
Clerks came running from the inner
office, among them the elderly man who
interfered in Philips behalf on the last
occasion.
Make that idiot shat up" said Philip.
calmly, "and tell Mr.. Isaacstein | am
| here"
The Office boy was siIenced, and the ex-
element claimed down. Yes. the dia
mond merchant was i'm. If Philip would
walk upstairs to the waiting room, his
presence would be announced
Thank You" he said but kindly see
that this urchin does not let others know

gathered in the street when ] come out !"
Such cool impudence from a ragamufIin
was intolerable, or nearly so. But Isaac

iron. and they would fain wait the little
mans pleasure ere they ventured their
wrath on tho hoy Resides tho., ,,,o,-.
