The Daily Story
A Shabby NobIeman-By Alan Hinsdale.

A gentleman dressed very plainly
indeed, stability stepped into a jewel
/ eF's store in New York and asked with
British accent TO see some pearl
necklaces.
The clerk went 10 a safe. took out
! several trays and placed them on the
counter.
These necklaces are very expen-
sive." he said. "Of course so large a
number Of real pearls cost money. But
( this one handing out a single string
of very small Jewels. lis cheaper The
price is $500"
The man did not seem shocked at
the enormous price named by the
clerk, but after a close inspection OF
the articles, holding them within a
few inches of his eyes. on which he
wore glasses (eVidentiy 10 correct
near-sight), he handed them back to
the clerk. saying Il can do better i'm
London. Let me see some earrings"
The clerk put away the trays and
brought forth others containing ear
rings The customer as in the case
before, examined the more expensive
articles and asked the price of pair,
each having a single pendant of a dia-
mond as large as a good sized pea The
price was $500
You are nearer a reasonable price
on these" said the customer They
are very pretty
The clerk had shown the man Jewels
far beyond the price he supposed
from his appearance he could
pay Indeed. he fancied the party
simply desired TO feast his eyes
upon them. The diamond earrings
were apparently nearer his caliber.
Perhaps a sale could be effected After
holding them near and far and catch
ing the light on the diamonds he asked
the clerk If he could send them to bis
hotel He would like his wife to see
them. The clerk agreed. The gentle
man gave his name. George ThrOck-
morton, and his hotel, at the same
time taking out a cambria haudker-
chief and wiping his glasses with
the handkerchief came a letter which
dropped on the floor.
The clerks back was turned at the
time. for he was putting away the
jewel trays, and when he again faced 1
the counter fashi0nabIv dressed man
was there holding out the letter the
other had dropped.
The man who just left you dropped 7.
this. he said
The clerk took the letter and nat
lrally looked at the address IL was /
The Earl Of B0yingstone. hotel F
New York, u. S. A., and bore a Lon
Ion pOstmark
That's singular" said the clerk to-
The man who picked up the letter.
What's singular"
Why. that the fellow should be d
lobleman! His clothes are worn
shiny
Don't you know replied the other. {
