Isaacstein on this occasion looked
and acted the sound man of business
he really was.
He awaited Philip in his private of
fice He seemed to be pleased by the
change effected in the boys outward
appearance. There was less of bur-
lesque, less of outrage to his feelings,
in discussing big sums of money with
person properly attired than with
one who wore the garments of a
tramp.
Good morning" he said, pleas
antIy. You are punctual. I am glad
to see. Have you been to Somerset
house?"

s'Why not? If you are going to con-
troll a big capital you must learn busi-
ness habits or you will lose it, no mat

would Somerset house compel you
to pay me, Mr.. Isaacstein?"
Not exactly. but the stamping of
important documents is a means to-
ward an end, assure you"
II will see to 1t. but wanted pri-
marily to be certain of one of two
things: First. will you pay the $4,000
as promised? Second, will you
give me a fresh purchase note for my
diamonds which will not indicate so
definitely that I am the boy concern
ing whom there has been so much
needless publicity during the last few
days?"
1t was of no avail for Isaacstein to
handy words with Philip. A boy of

A CLEVER SCHEME

AS there are no signs in the art Of
literature similar to those which
serve the needs of musicians, where
by thoughts can be expressed de
capo, like a musical phrase, without
risk of wearying the reader, it must
be understood that Philip had re-
turned from far away Fenchurch
street station with a four wheeler
before O'Brien exhausted the first
TRADE of the day against the war
Office.
With a cunning that amounted to
genius, the boy placed the large, light
portmeanteau and the two small,
heavy ones on the roof of the vehicle
where The driver did not notice the
least popularity in their weight
The two large, heavy bags he man
aged to lift into the interior, one OF
them needing all his resources to
carry it from the shop door to the
cab. Were he not fresh and untired
he could not have done It. AS It was
the effort was a splendid success.
The cabman knew little, and
O'Brien less, of the tremendous avoir-
dupois of this innocent looking bag
gage A long suffering horse may
have had his private views, but he
did not express them.
Saying goodby to the pensioner in
the shop, Philip took good care that
none overheard his direction to the
driver In about three-quarters of an
hour he numbered into Charing Cross
station, without a soul in the east end
being aware of his destination.

opened the door for him.

over it, he thought.
At II o'clock Isaacstein would
either keep his word about the five
thousand pounds or endeavor to
wriggle out of the compact In
either event, Philip had already de-
termined to consult Mr.. Abingdon.
A BIG CHANCE
He had now in his pocket about
thirty eight pounds. Half an hour
later he was wearing a new tweed
suit, new hat and new boots; he had

teaux. on which his initials would be
painted by noon, when he would call
for them.
He paid twenty-six pounds for the
lot, and the man who waited on him
tried in vain to tempt him to spend
more Philip knew, exactly what he
wanted He adhered to his program.
He possessed sufficient genuine lug
gage and clothing to be presentable
anywhere. He had money enough to

was big enough and wealthy enough
to quickly decide that point.
He entered the Hatton Garden Of

Some boys of his age might have
experienced a malicious delight when
the youth on guard bounced up with
a smirk and ready:

Not so Philip. He simply asked for

not help smiling at the expression OF
utter amazement when his identity
dawned on his hearer.

to say it is not going very far-only
to laboratory for analysis"
He saw his belongings wheeled
away on barrow before he paid the
cabman literally. He only gave the
porter sixpence. The man believed
that Philip was a clerk in charge of
the minerals; he was grateful for
even so small a sum.

wv HAT, Mother, Is the cause or the
w greatest trouble in the world?
That is hard to answer. Little
One, but / am quite sure that with a
woman the greatest trouble in the
world is caused when some pretty
woman looks sympathetically at her
husband.
What is meant by that term "Busi-
ness acumen?"
1t has masculine and feminine in
terpretations, Little One, and the mas
culine Interpretation doesn't count.
The feminine Interpretation of "busi-
ness acumen" is to buy dollar
worth of stuff that one doesn't need
in order to get a 10 cent blue dish
free.
Why. Mother, are women more anx-
ious than the men to have a graphic
phone in their homes?
Because, Child, the advertisements
say that graphophones are great
helps in amusing guests. What the
men are looking for is something that
will make the guests go home.

afternoon and how she intends to
make hash of the scraps of roast.
Then having told him All that hap
pened to her, she gets hook, bats
it, and tries to fish out what he has
done all day, and Never Catches a
Bite. Then she goes to bed mad at
herself because she has told so much.
Why does a wife never use that
half-fiirting, half-pleading look that
had such an effect on her lover IN
their courtship days
Because, Child, she finds it more ef-
fective after marriage on the butcher
when she wants him to come down In
his prices.
What is tact, Mother Mine?
1t has different definitions. Little
One. In a married woman Tact con-

used to promise when he was in love.

was the most expensive establishment
in London. He tossed the check and
another document across the table.

the hurry. I have lot to do before

Philip saw that the acknowledge
ment of his diamonds appeared to be
in proper form.
There is no need at this moment
to explain to the bank manager that
am the hero of the police court af-
fair" he said.
None whatever. I am lending, you
the money, and will be paying you a
good deal more very soon That will
be sufficient. He may draw his own
conclusions, OF course"
Philip was now looking at the
check.
"Why do you put account payee'
between these two strokes?" he said.
The dealer explained, and even
found time to show him how to cross
and indorse such important slips of
paper.
Then they walked to the bank, a
few doors away The elderly man
ager was obviously surprised by the
size of the check and the youth of
the "payee."

Philip wrote his first check and re-

this extraordinary occurrence, and he

During the coming months of biting

beauty of expression appears more
pronounced. If your skin be b1otchy,

WOODMEN HELD
A Big Meeting
GRAND ORGANIZER FROM THE
STATE OF NEBRASKA WAS
PRESENT AND GAVE A TALK,
TOGETHER WITH MANY FEA-
TUREs INTERESTING AT ALL.

There was a big meeting of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America last night
and it was one of the best meetings
the society has held in some time. The
meeting was for the purpose of greet
ing R. E. Johnson, the supreme
organizer whose home is at Lincoln,
Neb., and the hall was crowded on
this account.
In his remarks Mr.. Johnson stated
that he had heard of the fourishing
condition of the camp and that he
was always glad to visit a camp that
was prosperous, for it showed that
the members were active in their work
and he congratulated the members
and camp on what they had done.
There were nearly twenty-five can
didates admitted and they were given
the glad welcome and were shown the
sights which they took pleasure in see
ing and taking part in.
There was a lecture during the even
ing by P. j. Murphy on Woodcraft and
it was one hat all should have heard,
for 1t set forth the benefits of the
order in every sense of the word. Mr..
Johnson closed the meeting with a
sensible address and was listened to
with attention.
