TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT

Mr.. Abingdon received him with some
degree of reserve. The magistrate could
not understand the receipt of a letter
bearing the address OF the Pail Mall
Hotel. a place where he had been en-
tertained at dinner occasionally by one
of his wealthy friends but which was
far removed from the limit imposed on
the pocket of any man whose resources
depended on the exercise Of an ordinary
profession
But Philip still figured in his mind
as a ragged urchin Not even the
skilled police magistrate could picture
him as the actual owner of millions of
pounds worth of portable property
Hence. the boys appearance now told
in his favor. Cursory impressions soon
yielded to positive hewilderment when
Philip began TO relate his story faith
fully from beginning to end. neither ex-
aggeratinE nor suppressing any saIlen,
detail save the actual locality where his
astounding adventures found their cen.

A Difference,

Wilkie Bard tells a story of a hus
band and wife who were always quar-
reling. A friend called one evening
and found them in the middle of G
row After the storm had subsidized a
little, he ventured to demonstrate
with the husband

hand; but you tie them together and

For little while Mr.. Abingdon was
silent, When words came he could
only gasp:

binary boy l have ever encountered"
Teen Phil laughed merrily.

ously.

step without consulting her. You win

Then Philip knew that he had gained
his point. Nothing was said before the
servants. but when they were cozily
ensconced in the library before a pleas
ant fire, he was asked to relate again
his enhancing history, for Mrs. Abing
don's benefit.
The good lady was overwhelmed
She, like everybody else had read the

his small parcel of valuable gems.
But the presence of Philip under their

cost Of not less than 1897 900, and
not more than *359, 900. The re-

adjusted through an agreement on

cater to the tastes of the public

is one OF the new bidders for the
new lease. His conservatism, based
upon a thorough knowledge of the
business, may prevent his being the
highest bidder. Should the award
be made to another, he will re-
model the Pastime Theatre and
make it thoroughly up to date

ner OF Main street and Church al
