They searched him and found noth- ing ih his pockets save Q key, broken knife, some bits of string neatly coil ed and couple of buttons. He spent thS next hour miserably in white washed cell He refused some coffee and bread brought to him at F o'clock, and this was the only sentient break in 'e wild tumble of conflicting thoughts. The idea carrc to him that he must be dreaming-hat soon he would awaken amid the familiar surroundings of Johnson's News. To convince himself that this was not so, he reviewed the history of the preceding twenty-four hours At that time yesterday he was going<to Fleet street with capital of ninepence to buy quire of newspa- pers. He remembered where he had sold each of the five copies, where he bought penny bun and how he came to lose his stock and get cuffed into the bargain for rescuing girl from an oyerturning carriage
 Then his mind reverted to his fixed resolve to hang himself and his stolid

had nothing to do but eat, take exer- else, read a few books provided for him and sleep.
 With Monday came q remarkable change in his fare. A pint of first rate cocoa and some excellent bread and butter for breakfast evoked no com ment on his part, but dinner of roast beef, potatoes, cabbage and rice pud- ding was so extremely unlike prison diet that he questioned the turnkey.
 "Its all right, kid" came the brief answer. Its paid for. Eat while you can and ask no questions"
 "But''--
 The door slammed, and at the next meal Philip received in silence a cup of tea and nice tea cake. This went on during three days. The good food and rest had already worked mar vicious change in his appearance. He entered the prison looking like stary- ed dog. When he rose on the Thurs day morning and washed himself, no one would have recognized him as the same boy were 1t not for his clothes.
 After dinner he was tidying his cell and replacing the plates and the rest on tin tray when the door was sud denly flung open, and warder cried:
 Come along, Morland. You're want ed at the court"
 "At the court! he could not help saying. This is only Thursday"
 "What a boy you are for arguing! Pick up your hat and come. Your car riage waits, my lord. I hope you will like your quarters as well when you come back. A pretty stir you have made in the papers the last five days"
 Philip glanced at the man, who seem ed to be, in good humor.
 q will not come back" he said quiet ly, 'but wish you would tell me who supplied me with food while I have been here.'
 They were passing along lofty cor ridor and there was no superior officer in sight. The warder laughed.
 q don't know, my lord" he said, "but the menoo came from the Royal Star hotel, opposite"
 Philip obtained no further news. He passed through an office, voucher was signed for him, and he emerged Into the prison yard, where the huge prison van awaited him. He was the only occupant, just as on the first memorable ride In that conveyance. When he came to the prison from the police court he had several companions in misery, but they were stretched" His case was the only remand"
 During the long drive Philip endeav- ored to guess the cause of this unex- pected demand for his presence. Nat urally, he assumed that Johnson's News no longer held safe the secret of his meteor. Such few sensational TO- mances as he had read credited detec- lives with superhuman sagacity. In his mind, Johnson's News was the center of the world. It enshrined the marvelous-how could 1t escape the thousands of prying eyes that daily passed through the great thorough fare of the East End but few yards away? Judging from the remark dropped by the warden, all London was talking about him. A puzzllng feature was the abundant supply of good food sent to him in prison.

ers. of thieves and drunkards- mag istrate, even, remote in his dignity and sense of power--what were they to him7-of no greater import than tho paving stones of the streets to the pull. sating life of London as 1t passed.
 The magistrate glanced at Isaacstein and stroked his chin. Isaacstein gazed intently at the packet of diamonds and rubbed his sinuous nose. There was a deep silence in court, broken only by the occasional shuttle of feet among the audience at the back-a shuttle which stopped instantly when the steely glance of q policeman darted in that direction.
 At last the magistrate seemed to make up his mind to definite course of action.
 There is only one person present" he said, "who can throw light on this extraordinary case, and that is the boy himself"
 He looked at Philip, and all eyes quickly turned toward the thin, ragged figure standing upright against the rail that shut him of from the well of tho court. The professional people present noted that the magistrate did not al- Jude to the strange looking youth as "the prisoner"
 What was going to happen? Was this destitute urchin going to leave the court with diamonds in his pocket worth f50,O0O? Oddly enough, no one paid heed to Philips boast that he owned far more than that amount. It was not he, but his packet of diamonds, that evoked wonder And had not Isaacstein, the great merchant and ex- pert, appraised them openly! Was 1t possible that those dirty white peb- bles could be endowed with such poten- tiality! Fifty thousand pounds! There were men in the room, and not confn- ed to the unwashed, whose palates dried and tongues swelled at the no ton.
