house. But I had to do it I put oa my beaver hat aid an astrakhan
jacket, went out through the front gate, doubled down the paddock,
crossed tbe fir plantation and made my way by A field path to Bracken-
bunt, tbe next station to Drie End. I took a return ticket to London,
remained in the waiting room until a train cause in and then pepped
quickly into tbe nearest empty carriage. At Waterloo I sat in the
train until the other passengers had quitted tbe platform. After that
I took my chance of not being recognised.
My first call was at s jeweler's fat Piccadilly. I showed him (he
ju-ju and asked him whit tbe beads were. He screwed ■ funny
shaped glass into Ida right eye and examined them.
“They are different varieties of chalcedony,” he said. "Thera art
agates, camelians, cataeyes, onyx, sards and three Uadi of flints in
this collection.” •
“Good gracious I” said I.
“What is it t” he asked, looking curiously it tile idol
“A jou-jou,” I answered, blessing mademoiselle inwardly.
The man didn’t apeak French, go I told Mm jou-jou meant “toy,"
and that satisfied him. We had acme more talk, and I am tors I sur-
prised him, bat he was very civil sad took no and of trouble to dis-
cover an address I wanted. It turned out to be a little street off Tot-
tenham Court road. I drove there hi a hansom, remained tea min-
utes and hired the name cab back to the west end. the cabman wanted
to charge me 4 shillings, but I gave him half a crown and looked
for bis number.
“S’elp me,” ha cried, “wot’s things a-oomin’ to I” And with that
he whipped his poor hone into a canter, which is the nasty, vindictive
way that sort of man has of expressing his feelings.
Then I had a real slice of luck. I met Mr. Warden, my father's
solicitor, just coming out of his office. He was quite taken aback at
seeing me, especially when he found (hat Dad or Mam waa not with
me, and my good fortune waa that had I been a few second* later I
should have missed him, sa he was AffiaafiSaMgraf3
