Surely enough my wife was right. |

you whom | haven't seen all these

The fact is" said Jack, I've been

NO one can say I ever turned my

Anyhow" Jack continued with a
smile. Il happened to be on the look
out for copy in the crowd on Thurs
day morning when l spotted you Just

of his pals wedge you in while he went
through your pockets. Jem is sup

you as being immensely cut up at your
loss. could guess what that would
mean whether you were married or
not. No man who had ever known
Muriel Castelet could ever quite for
get her. So tackled Jem Davidson,
Jack explained. In the end We COM
pounded a felony. After swearing he
had not got your watch till he was
blue in the face he let ME have it for
a couple of pounds"
Good heavensi" exclaimed Mr..
Markwick with an expression of right
eous Indignation. twice as much as 1t
was worth.
There was silence for a few seconds.
Jack drew in a deep breath as he stood
gazing at Andrew Markwick. Then he
slowly buttoned his shiny blue serge
Jacket.
Now you know the whole story.
he said in a different tone. Il should
MT have troubled you If you hadn't
caught me on your doorstep"
Still. | can't allow you to be the
loser" answered Mr.. Markwick, taking
out his purse. Two pounds mean
more to you than they do to me.

watch from the writing table by which
he was standing. what few bits of
old metal do mean to n man"
Well. here you are cried Mr..
Markwick. holding out his right hand
with two sovereigns on its palm.
"oh. none of that. Markwick." ex'
claimed Jack.
Il insist that you allow me to reim-
burse you." said Mr.. Markwick while
lack still held the silver watch.
You think It was dear at the
price," he suggested.
Dear" was the answer. 1T was
one robbery on the top of another"
Then suppose we make eompro-
mise" suggested Jack.
"A compromise"
Yes; suppose you keep your money
and ease your conscience by letting
me have the watch"
With the utmost pleasure" said
Mr.. Markwick. replacing the two SOW
ereigns in his purse whilst Jacks fin.
gers closed tightly over the watch as
he turned towards the door.

Mr.. Markwick, holding out his hand,
Strange we should have come across

Tears."

ment's hesitation the visitor followed
him. Il feel curious" Mr.. Markwick
added. ito hear what is your object In

pocket yesterday morning"
SO you don't recognize me. was
the answer.
Certainly not" said Andrew Mark

and raising a hand he held it in front

added.

ed Jack. "A beard makes world of

Why didn't you speak," demanded
Mr. Markwick

Yes" said Mr. Markwick compla'
Gently. I've not done so badly. But

Scarcely" replied Jack.
1T must be-Good gracious'-it
must be pretty well twenty-three years
since We met. Dimsdale.

Markwick." he continued. do you
recollect how you and | used to dodge
one another-the tricks we used to
play to cut each other out? There
was never another woman in the
world"
His jacket was unbuttoned. and Mr.
Markwick recognized the thin gold
chain which hung from his waistcoat
As a matter of fact it was attached to
cheap gun-metal watch.
DO you remember that morning
week after her funeral?" said Jack.
Yes, yes, as II 1t were yesterday
was the answer
When old Castelet asked us TO go
to the house and suggested that we
might care to have something she had
worn? He gave you the first choice
and you took her silver watch"

Markwick. lis your having possession

"Old Castelet." Jack continued,

The Silver w atch
By THOMAS COBB

1t was only the Importantly, Of his
wife and daughters which induced Mr.
MArkwick to take four seats in White
hall for the coronation. and fortunate
ly he was also persuaded to substitute
for his gold English lever a compar.
atively valueless silver watch which
had lain in one of his drawers for sew
eral years.
Mr.. Andrew Markwick-forty-fS
looking very well fed. self-satisfied,
and aggressively prosperous-found
himself wedged iE the crowd whilst
deft hands passed stealthily over his
white waistcoat. Still. as Mrs. Mark
wick subsequently remarked, how for
tunate it was that he had left his gold
watch at home.
Ih.s occurred on the Thursday, and
the following morning he did not go
TO the city as usual, Late in the aft
ernoon he set out for a stroll through
some of the more deserted streets, and
on reapproaching his house shortly
after six o'clock saw a man of about
his own age standing on his doorstep
"a tail, slenderly built man wearing
blue serge suit a little the worse for
wear and soft felt hat. He had a
somewhat pale face. moustache, ard
a short pointed beard.
For you. sir" said the butler. hand
ing Mr. Markwick a small cardboard
box
Good gracious," was the answer as
he removed the unsecured lid. Its my
silver watch"
That it should have been stolen In
the crowd was not very astonishing.
but why in the world should the thief
take the trouble to return it?a How
did he know the address. If he was
stricken by remorse why had he not
brought back the fountain pen. the
few odd shillings. and the pocket knife
as well2 AS he stood looking from
the watch to the restorer. who certain
ly had rot the appearance of thief.
Mr. Markwicks thoughts momentarily
flew back nearly a quarter of a cen
tury.
He was back at Chesterborough-a
boy again In his case the child had
young fool he was in those days. He
would have given the world for Muriel
Castelet. at whose death the capacity
for those more romantic sensations
had passed away. Although he had
married a few years later and lived
as contentedly with his wifi as man
may in an imperfect world he had
never felt towards her as he once had
felt towards Muriel..
