= FTER picking up his belongings
IA at the outfitter'S, two smart
Gladstone bags with "P A"
a d nicely painted on them, Philip
stopped his cab at Somerset House.
He experienced no difficulty in reach
ing the proper department for stamp
ing documents, and thus giving them
legal significance.
An official glanced at Isaacstein's
contract note and then looked at Phil
ip, evidently regarding him as rea-

Yes" 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 GER
tain.
For the rest he was rapidly making
out plan which should secure his in
terests effectually He hoped before
the day was out to have set on foot
arrangements which would free him
from all anxiety.

IsaacStein glanced at it for one fas-
cinated second. Then he looked around
with the stealthy air of a man who
fears lest he may be detected in the
commission of terrible crime.
Are you mad?" he whispered.

Isaacstein's remark about getting his
letter stamped" He did not know
but he guessed that it implied the af-
fixing Of a seal of some sort There
was no need to hurry over it, he
thought
At IL o'clock Isaacstein would either
keep his word about the 5000 or en-

In either event Philip had already de-

would be painted by noon, when he
would call for them.
He paid f26 for the lot. and the man
who waited on him tried in vain to
tempt him TO spend more. Philip knew
exactly what he wanted. He adhered
to his programme. He possessed sufi-
Gent genuine luggage and clothing to
be presentab Bile anywhere. He had
enough money TO maintain himself for
weeks if necessary. For the rest, an
other couple of hours would place il

With a cunning that amounted to

He saw his belongings wheeled away
on q barrow before he paid the cabman

He was grateful for even so small q
