and loss of time of regaining posees-

" an anxious expression, "has become of

This was more than anybody seemed
able to tell him. and having given vent
to his feelings; with considerable
warmth, he accompanied a porter to an

"Restore my property," was ' the an

It Isn't yours," she said. "There
must be some mistake."
As ah waa speaking, the policeman
began to reproach the cabman for Mock,

blame on to Alfred, who found himself
being addressed with more force than
politeness. , . ..

Walking away from the railway sta

ess stoien from the Victoria platform
whilst he ' was talking to bis friends.
The -fact that' the-company would be
responsible offered little satisfaction,
Alfred wanted to wear hla evening
clothes at a dance the same evening.
One could not have a new suit made In a
few hours, whilst the notion of wearing
ready-made garments appeared little
, less than appalling. Having walked to
Old Bond street, he consulted bis tailor
on the on chance ot nis naving a mis-
pui as possible, regarding tha intruder

"I Intend to have my sag."

Influenced bv her charm; still, fore

that my key' will open It I will de

know already that li 1 my properly."
Her demeanor now changed; ahe
aeemed to throw aside her former ap-
rrehenalon, and drawing slightly closer
0 Alfred, she looked Into his face with
a ravishing smile.
"Are the content very valuable T'
lie ,aked.
"Oh, well. he answered, not drawing
away, "there are my evening togs, anil
ao forth. You see, I am going to a
party tonight And," he explained,
"there" a rather decent set of silver
mounted hair brushes and things."
. "What" ah asked, a they were driv
en along Fleet street, '.'can" you want
with silver-mounted hair brushes and
things?" '
Alfred's sensations were now of a
very mixed description, and, while he
did not doubt that she had assisted to
teal his ' bag, he found himself con
stantly addressing her as if she wore
a member ot hia own distinguished set
"It is my cousin's birthday dance,"
he said, "and I bought them as a pres

odd! Because you will meet m at Mrs.

"Good Lord!1' muttered Alfred.
"Bo you will confess you have made
a ridiculous blunder?"
Alfred, quite close by this time, ex
amined her face with intense perplex
ity. "How many children has my aunt?"
he suddenly blurted out
"I haven t the remotest notion."
."What," demanded Alfred, with a tri
umphant air, "is the nnme of the girl
who comes of age today?"
"I really can't tell you." " '
vYet you are going to her partyl" he
exclaimed, with withering contempt.
"JLady Weathampton offered to take

"Then you will meet my brother!" .
