At last Philip got him persuaded to
summon his neighbor. Judd did so
with an air of mystery that caused the
baldheaded restaurateur to believe
that burglar was bottled up in the
greengrocers cellar.
Once inside the shop, however, Mr..
Judd's manner changed.
"Wot did l tell yer, Tomkins" he
cried elatedly. ''Wot, price me as n
Judge of karakter! 'Ere's Mr.. Morland

Philip sOlemnly counted out the mon

hacker

'"There's something funny in the

IT was sure you would see the joke
at once" said Philip. "Goodby, Mr..
Judd. Goodby, ma'am. You will hear
from me without fail within fort

He was gone before they realized his
intention. They saw him skip rapidly
up the steps leading into Holborn, and
London had swallowed him forever so
far as they were concerned.
Ten days later a firm Of solicitors
wrote TO the greengrocer to inform
him that client Of theirs had acquired
the freehold Of his house and shop,
which property during the life of Ell
Their himself or his wife would be ten
antable free of rent, rates or taxes.
So Mr.. Judd's investment of nine
pence plus the amount expended on
eatables at the Royal Star hotel Sc
cured TO him and his wife an annual
revenue Of f1T5.

the canal system in the antarctic and
south temperate zones.
He says it is direct conclusion from
this that the planet is at present the
abode of intelligent beings. He adds
| that the theory Of such life was not an
a priori hypothesis on his part, but
was the result Of observations now
| fully confirmed. On the photographs
taken already he has counted fifty-six
canals, and it now appears certain that
the positioning of points Of the Mar
tan topography will be realized. Three
of the photographs are published in
Nature and show various canals hither-
to unknown to European astronomers.
A. s. Eddington, f. r. s., Of the
Greenwich observatory, commenting on
Lowell's article, says that Lowell has
not proved his case and that he is more
inclined to accept the theory Of Pick
ering that these canals are the result
Of the planets natural shrinkage.
Find Remains of Mastodon.
Word has recently been received
from Professor G. w. Gilmore, who,
accompanied by Professor w. T. Shaw
of the Washington State college and a
party OF scientists from the east, is
now in central Alaska, that they have
found a specimen Of the mastodon
frozen intact in the great Muir glacier
near the Chikoot pass. The party set
out on this particular errand, and their
hopes were more than realized when
they discovered this large and per-
feet specimen imbedded In the great
Ice field in very much the same posi-
ton as when overwhelmed by the
frigid elements. On some portions Of
the animal the hair and flesh were
still fresh, but crumbled when exposed
to the air. 1t is estimated that the
length of the mastodon from the end
Of its trunk to the tip of the tail was
about seventy-five feet and that when
standing on all tours the height must
have been nearly forty feet.

government suit against the coal trust.
This company denies that the coal
roads purchased its capital stock. It
admits that the corporation acquired
several small coal mining companies,
but claims the purchasers were under
the authority of the laws of Pennsyl-
vania and contends that the United
States courts have no jurisdiction to
enter decree enjoining the other coal
companies named from voting stock
In the Temple company. Its answer,
like those Of the three Reading COM

vague indefinite, impertinent and
scandalous."

frame to the handsome, stalwart man
whose name he bore.
Philip loved his mother on the COM
pensating principle that persons Of OPP
posite natures often have an overpow-
ering affinity for each other. He re-
sembled her neither In features nor III
the more subtle traits Of character.
After q dinner the excellence OF

lack of appreciation on his part he un-
dertook a pilgrimage Of curiosity to

to devote the evening.

fndeavor to find out.
A hanson took him to Holloway,
but the first. efforts of the driver failed
to discover the whereabouts Of the
Royal Star hotel.
At last Philip recollected the ward
er's added direction-"opposite."
He dismissed the cab and walked to
the prison entrance. Directly in front
he saw a small restaurant called the
Star. It's titular embellishments were
due to the warder's gift of humor
He entered. A woman was knitting
at a cash desk.
"Until yesterday" he said. 'you sent
food regularly to boy named Arson,
who was confined In the prison.

heard this mornin' that he was let

"Would you mind telling me who
paid the bill? suppose it was paidT
"Well, as matter of fact. 1t was
overpaid," was the reply. "You see,
the pore lad was remanded for a week,
and Mr.. Judd, man 90 lives In the
Harrington road, KEN ere an ar
ranged for is weeks board. Hav' We
heard wot 'appened to Inn"
Philips heart was In his mouth, but
he managed to answer that the boy
was all right; there was no charge
against him. Then he escaped into
the street. The one man he had for
gotten was his greengrocer friend,
who had indeed acted the part of the
good Samaritan.
There was some excuse for this, but
the boys Astounding good nature would
admit Of none. He fastened to Far
ringdon road with the utmost speed
and found his fat friend putting up
the shutters of his shop.
The restaurant next door was open.
Philip approached quietly.
"Good evening, Mr.. judd" he said,
holding out his hand.
"Good evenin', sir" said the green
grocer, his eyes revealing not the re-
hottest idea of the identity of the smart
young gentleman who addressed him
so Familiarity.
"Don't you know me, Mr.. JuddT'
