AS for the ragged youth with the dia-
monds. he was forgotten apparently.
The newspapers dropped him, believing.
indeed, that Isaacstein had worked
some ingenious advertising dodge on
his own account. and Messrs. Sharpe
< Smith never dreamed of looking for
the lost Philip Arson. the derelict from
Johnson's News, in the Pail Mall Ho-
tel. the most luxurious and expensive

That afternoon Philip visited the Safe
Deposit company. He had little diff

and the payment of a years rent in adj

He transferred four of his portman-
teaux to this secure environment-the
fifth was sent to his hotel. When the
light faded he drove to the East End.

shops. Although some of the tickets
were time-expired, he recovered near

cepting the watch.
The odd coincidence recalled the in
spector's implied promise that he
! should receive one as a recognition OF
his gallantry.
How remote, how far removed from
each other, the main events in his life
seemed to be at this eventful epoch. AS
he went westward in a hanson he
could hardly bring himself to believe
that barely twenty-four hours had

CHAPTER XI.
IN CLOVER

An official glanced at Isaacstein's
contract note and then looked at Philip,
evidently regarding him as a relative
or youthful secretary of the Philip
Arson, Esq, Pail Mall Hotel" whose
name figured on the paper.
Il suppose you only want this TO be
indicator" he said.
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 certain.
For the rest. he was rapidly making
out a plan which should secure his in
terests effectually. He hoped, before
the day was out to have set on foot ar
rangements which would free him from
| all anxiety.
From Somerset House he drove to the
Pail Mall Hotel. A gigantic hall por-

with much ceremony and ushered him
