"BrlnK In tho scales, Kamuel." , The scales wcro brought, and' a lqvel space cleared for them on tho desk. Philip, of course, had never before scon an instrument so delicately adjusted. A breath would servo to depress tho bal ance. The hoy held forth his paper and. poured tho contents into the tiny brass tray of the scales. Samuel's mouth opened' and His!- "'eyes widened.

After completing this acknowledgment hcpcrltbled something else. "There." ho said, with a elgh of relief, "that is not a very formal document, but It Will suffice. You can' get It stamped, tomorrow at Somerset House. Just sign tills receipt for 50." Philip took tho two papers and read them carefully. Isaacstelu's handwriting was a scrawl, but legible enouglu The boy reached for a pen and sighed his Christian name. He was on the point of adding his surname In an unguarded. moment, but he felt tho Jew's eya bn him. So he simply wrote "Philip" across the stamp at the foot of tha receipt. Isaacsteln fully appreciated .the Inci dent and knew that bis own eagerness defeated the chance, all tho more pow erful, because It was Involuntary, of ascertaining tho namo of this marvelous youth. Philip gathered up his gold, not without counting the coins. They felt strangely heavy in his pocket, much heavier than tho stones' they replaced. Yet they formed a thousandth part of tho value of those fllptlike pebbles. What a queer problem It was this ratio of worth bo iween a few stones and the bright minted sovereigns. "What time shall I call tomorrow?" ho asked, standing, cap in hand, ready to take his departure. "At 11. nut wait one moment, Havo yqu no friends to look after 'U? 8eo What trouble you may get Into.

It was I o'clock Jn the afternoon of a fine but chilly March day when Philip regained Holburn with 50 making a lump In his pocket, and leaacsteln's let ter safely lodged In his coat. Tho mere weight of the' gold suggested an un- 'pleasant Possibility. His clothes wcro so worn that tho frail calico might give way and evpry golden coin rattle forth to the pavement. Bo with one of Mr. Abingdon's shillings ho made his first purchase, a capacious tobacco pouch with a snap mouth, fpr which ha paid 0 pence. Then he ad journed to an uerated bread shop and ordered somo refreshments. While the waitress was bringing his cup of tea and piece of cako he contrived to slip all tho sovereigns but ono into tho tobacco pouch. Ho did this with his hand in tho pocket Itself, and more than once there was a pleasant clink as tho coins fell Into their novel' receptacle. A man sitting neur caught the sound and looked up suspiciously. Philip, whose senses were very much on the alert to day, renllzed that his action wbb some what careless. Without even glancing at his neighbor he took out his remaining couple of shllllngo and tho three pennies, and affected to cpunt them with a cer tain degree of astonishment, as If somo were missing. The ruse was satisfactory. Tho man gave him no further heed am soon quitted the restaurant. Philip tendered tho odd sovereign In payment of his bill. Tho girl cashier seemed to bo surprised that such a ragged youth should own so large a sum. "All silver, please," said Philip when she- began to count his change. Ho would take no moro risks If he could avoid them. Not a single police man in London would have failed to ar rest him at that moment were his store or gold revealed by uny chance. Yet , Philip was rich honestly, and there were men driving away from the city at that hour whoso banking account were nlAlV.A.In ... 1 1 . .. 1 ... T- . , I In a side street leading, out of Gray's Inn rodd' he-found a Second-hand, 'clothes shop. Here ha-purchased 'a rwarm, hut decent, blue sergo suit "for 8 shillings 6 pence, a pair of shoes for 6 shillings, a cap for 9 pence, a woollen shirt fpr - S shillings and a linen collar- for 3 pence. He haggled sufficiently over the bar gain to suit the'neels of .canty purse. "I've cut 'cm down low enough," said the shopkeeper,' mournfully. "Things Isn't wot they was in the ole clo" line, let me tell yer. Not but what you do want a new rlg-ahf Yes. said Philip. ' I've got a Job and i ant Up It unless I look decent" '.1 lio tendering of a gold coin from a urchin. -For 'the- life- of him ho could not -burlesque tho Cockney ascent, and, al though he used the simplest phrase ology, the man glanced at htm sharply, .."Where are you workn'T" ha asked. "At Isaacsteln's In Hstton Garden." The words had not left his lips ere he regretted them. . "Wot Is 'eT "A Jow," and Philip laughed. This quip atoned for the . error of the ad mission, "Bll-me, you won't get a lot aht of Mm." "No. It cost me somo trouble to get an alvancc, I can assure you." Philip rattled all his silver and coppers onto the counter. Ho counted out six. teen shillings sixpence, "Not much left, is there?" he said- ."Well, look 'ere," Bald the man. "Gimme fifteen bob, You're a sharp lad. You'll myko yer w'y all right. Nex' tome you want somo du3? coma to mo an I'll treat you fair." 1 "Thank you very much," said Philip, considerably surprised by this generous act. "I certainly will not forget you," "You can change In my little back room If you like. That lot you've got on ain't worth tykln ome." "I am'obllged for your kindness, but X must bo off now. It Is late, and 1 havo a long way to go," "Where to? Halloway?" "No, cityward." The clothes and boots were mde up In a parcel by this time. Philip hurried away, glad to escape further questioning. "Queer sort o kid, that," mused tho shopkeeper. "My, but 'o must ha' bin ard up aforo 'o took on wlv a Jew. Wot did 'o s'y 'Is nlme was? Isaacsteln? I'va reen that somewhero or other. Now whoro was It?" He knew two hours later, for he, too, read tho evening paper. Philip sprang into a bus for tha bank. At tho Royal Exchange ha would catch a green bus for tha Mile End road. It was almost dark when ha reached the bank. Thus far thu omnibuses go ing etst were not crowded. Now tha situation had changed. (To Ba Continued Tomorrow.) Advice to Lovelorn I By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

' Whoever" has eyes whorqwlth to seo, ears wherewith to hear, and. a wind capa ble of thinking even along simple lines, must reallzo 'thq brevity of this llfo and the Importance . ot getting all the hap piness possible out of It. Unless happiness Is obtained and ftiven In the home clrclo, It is not to be found any where. A fevorish ex citement and tem porary pleaauro may be enjoyed In outside ways, but tha mind which carries to Its dopth the thought of wretched homo con ditions cannot find real happiness any where. A mother who is a widow writes that her daughter, an only child, was given every loving csro and all posslblo op portunities for moral Instruction, The daughter married and became a mothor, and the widowed parent lives under the same- roof. Since her marriage the daughter has become quarrelsome and even abusive. Tho mother says: "I havo suffered long years In silent patience, fortitude and grief; she has crushed ma so I have not dared to answer her hack,, humiliated in every sense of the word, until I felt my womanhood was lowered to such an ex tent that a shama crept over my con science to allow a child to sllonro ine, so I stormed at her at last and told her all what she deserved. It Is useless, dear Jadv, to des rlbe I ' 'vsaaaaaaaaaaaaKiaaaaaaaaB Daughter ovcrydotall of my sufferings.

I nm so woary, so lonceoma In this room, my heart Is Bolng." Without doubt there' Is another sldn to this story. Without doubt tho mother has trying and Irritating qualities which havo helped to bring about this trouble. But even so, thoro Is only ono opinion to bo held of such a daughter, and only ono thing for the mother to do, and that Is to go away and muko her homo else where. Perfect health and strength she says aro hers, and let her resolvo to turn that health and strength to practical uses and to find employment and make a homo for horself. After nlm has made her arrangement to go away, It wpuld be well to talk quietly with tho daughter, to apologlzo for whatever words had tyeen spokon lu ungcr, and to part with no Ill-will. Hut to part absolutely and llvo under u. sepa rate roof. Then to talk to no one of this trouble. To ask . for no sympathy. Hut to go about the task of making a. new start In life at a late day and proving to the world that there Is no such thing as uu ago limit for a woman who sets forth determined to bo Independent.
