CHATTER VIII.

TT was 4 O'Clock in the afternoon OF
fine but chilly March day when
Philip regained Holborn with ESQ
Z making a lump in his pocket and
Isaacstein's letter safely lodged in his
coat The mere weight Of the gold
suggested an unpleasant possibility.
His clothes were so worn that the frail
calico might give way and every gold
en- coin rattle forth to the pavement.
So with one of Mr.. Abingdons shil-
lings he made his first purchase, ca
pacious tobacco pouch with snap
mouth. for which he paid ninepence.
Then he adjourned to an aerated bread
shop and ordered some refreshments.
While the waitress was bringing his
cup of tea and piece of cake he con-
trived to slip all the sovereigns but one
into the tobacco pouch.
He did this with his hand In the
pocket itself. and more than once there
was a pleasant clink as the coins fell
into their novel receptacle.
A man sitting near caught the sound
and looked up suspiciously. Philip,
whose senses were very much on the
/ alert today. realized that his action
i was somewhat careless. Without even
glancing at his neighbor, he took out
his remaining couple Of shillings and
i the three pennies, and affected to count
them with a certain degree of astonish
ment. as if some were missing The
i ruse was satisfactory. The man gave
him no further heed and soon quilted
the restaurant.
Philip rendered the odd sovereign il
payment Of his bill. The girl cashier
seemed to be surprised that such ;
ragged youth should own SO large
sum.
"AH silver. please" said Philip. wher
she began to count his change.

After completing this acknowledg-
ment he scrubbed something else.
There he said, with a sigh Of re-
lief, that is not very formal docu-
ment but it will suffice. You can get

House. Just sign this receipt for ESQ ="
Philip took the two papers and read
them carefully. Isaacstein's handwrit-
ing was a scrawl, but legible enough.
The boy reached for a pen and signed
his Christian name. He was on the
point of adding his surname in an I'M
guarded moment, but ne felt the mans
eye on him, so he simply wrote Phil

Many of us who are assiduous
in our conscientious endeavors to
generate delectable concoctions of
readable originality, find in the
last analysis that we have only
succeeded in reproducing the
flotsam and jetsam gathered from
the sea of others brains and I'M
consciously placed in storage by
our own. Thus we have the many
postulatory accusations Of plagiar-
ism. In writing, originality OF
idea is the first and important
quality to be desired; but origin
atty of expression is no mean
accomplishment and is the best a
few of us may ever hope or strive
for.
The November number of a

members of this circle: "For

In the case of the load. we are

Consent-Assent.

Assent isgiven to wish or an
opinion; consent, to an act. The
former word is applied to abstract
ideas; the latter, to actions. We
say properly: It was with great
difficulty that his consent to the
marriage was gained. When we
say: he nodded assent, it signifies
that he expressed that his opinion
or wish was in accordance with
that of another person. We may
consent to what does not please us,
but we cannot assent to what we
do not believe. We refuse what
we do not consent to do; we deny
what we do not assent to. Con-
sent is used in an active, assent in
a passive sense.

These words differ as active

designates the process of reform
