The Letter Followed Him.


Just as Henry Labouchere had been
appointed secretary to the British en-
bassy at Constantinople hfs Chief Lord
Hammond, requested him to proceed
20 Constantinople without delay. But
this arrangement did not suit Mr.. La
Duuchere, and a week later his chief
saw him strolling leisurely along the
Strand The latter glared menacingly
upon him and hurried on to his club.
A very peremptory letter was the re-
suit, but Mr.. Labouchere guessed the
nature of the message and recognized
the writing, so he did not open the en-
velope, but placed it in the tail pocket
of his coat. Then he set off for little
holiday at Baden-Baden, and when he
had been there for a week or SO he
opened the letter.
"Now," he remarked to a friend.
"you can appreciate my foresight in
placing Hammond's letter in my tail
pocket, for I shall write him as fol-
lows:
"'My lord, have just read your let
ter, which followed me to Baden-Ba-
den.'"
This explanation of the delay was
regarded as wholly satisfactory by
Lord Hammond, who until he received
it had been disposed to be very wroth
with his dilatory assistant.
