CHAPTER IV.
This interview, when I eunie to think
it over, took the conceit out of me, und
the retaining fee of $'00 hint mi uwly
look. Duryl, It was true, might be mis
taken, but there was something in me
that respected his opinions. Why did
Mrs. Prlnevemi have such confidence in
me and such distrust of Dnryl'.' Why
was I sent to her to be seized -up. as
ll were. Kvidently she was the kind
of woman Iaryl hud Insisted she was.
She had counted on Just the stupidity
that 1 had shown. This rcltcction

made my profesisonal vanity a little
vindictive. "So, so," I said to myself,
"I am retained to defend Clarkson.
Very well. He shall be defended to
the best of my ability."
When Daryl came to see me the next
evening I told him frankly that Mrs.
I'rlneveau had given me a 500-dolkir
retaining fee. He said he felt sure of it.
ami advised me to send it to Mrs. Clark
Son if it hurt me.
"And who Is to pay you?" I asked.
"1 don't think either you or I will e?t
any pay out of this," he replied. "Hirt
we are Into It and we might as well
carry It through.'
"I am afraid," I said, "that we have
undertaken a hopeless task. Let's di
vide it un."
"You find out Mrs. I'rineveau's an
tecedents and I will find out if Mr.
Prlneveau wore that Vest with the hole
In It when he was killed. If he didn't
who made that hole In it and for what
purpose?"
"itather narrow ground," I said,
somewhat hopelessly. '-
"O, I've been on narrower and more
slippery, and pulled out."
"FSut tell me what kind of a theory
can you Invent that will enable .Mrs.
Prlneveau to kill her husband with a
bullet on his left side, while she is sit
ting on his right?"
Daryl fell Into his vacuous attitude,
stretched out his legs, thrust his hands
into his pockets, and choked off a yawn.
"Did you read all the testimony at
the coroner's examination?" he asked.
"Yes, all of It."
"Did you notice anything peculiar
In the elements of time that entered
Into It?"
"Sn, I didn't."
He pulled out of his pocket a portion
Df the verbatim report. "Let me read
you a little of It. This is the girl lloae
Kenny's testimony:
"Q. What time was It when your
master and mistress left the house to
ride?
"A. Eight minutes of 3.
"Q. AVhat makes you so particular
as to the time?
"A. I heard Mrs. Prlneveau call to
Mr. Prlneveau and say thut was the
time just as they went out.
"Q. Wasn't there a clock In the
room?
"A. No, sir. The clock Is In the din
ing room."
"There the question of time stops.
Now listen to Mrs. I'rineveau's testi
mony. "Q. What time was It when the shot
was fired?
"A. Five minutes past 5 suddenly
correcting herself or about that."
"Does It occur to you that this par
ticularity of time Is unusual?"
"Yps; somewhat, liut what Is Its
significance?"
"This thatsomethlng may have been
arranged to occur at a particular time,
and Mrs. Prlneveau had charged her
mind with It. Hero Is the coachman's
testimony:
"(J. "Can you fix the exact time of
the death of Mr. I'rlneveau?
"A. It was 5 o'clock.
"Q.. I Jo you carry a watch?
"A. No.
"Q. Did Mrs. I'rlneveau have a watch
With her?
"A. No, sir.
"Q. How then did you fix the time?
"A. Mrs. I'rlneveau looked at Mr.
Prlneveau' watch when we were turn
ing Into Fourth avenue nnd said It Is
five o'clock and that I must hurry."
"Now here the matter Is dropped by
the examination Just as It Is getting
warm. Let's recapitulate," and Amos
Daryl picked up my paper weight for
Illustration: "First, Mr. I'rlneveau car
ries a watch," and Amos Daryl put the
paper weight down; "second, Mrs.
I'rlneveau knew to a minute when they
left the house." Mr. Daryl picked up the
mucilage Jar and placed It by the side
of the paper weight; "third," and hp
picked up a match receiver, "she was
anxious to know the exact time Just be
fore they reached the fatal spot." He
put the match box down alongside the
paper weight and reached for an ash
receiver; "fourth, she ascertained the
tlmo by looking nt. Mr. I'rineveau's
watch." Down went the ash receiver;
"fifth," and he picked up the ink bottle,
"If she ascertained the exact time by
looking at Mr. Prlnevenu's watch, and
that watch was carried In the
usual place on his left breast, then her
fingers were at his heart Just before the
murder -occurred,"., and down went th4

"It Is an Interesting and a startling
theory," I said, "and I see now to what
it leads."
"I doubt that,'? replied Daryl. " ' Lot
me tell you to what It leads Insuper-

uble dllllcultles, for the woman has all
the clews iu her own hand, and will
bullle us at every step of the search,
and have public sympathy In doing It."
"Then IT we cannot get hold of the
facts to substantiate your theory we are
on a wild-goose chase."
".Not altogether."
"Why, we haven't a leg to go on
without the facts."
"(, yes; one leg."
"What Is It?"
"The truth." '
I shrugged my shoulders.
"The truth will develop its own facts,
and that Is where Mrs. Prlneveau, like
all merely cunning people, is a little
superficial. Suppose we set out to as
certain If Mr. I'rlneveau did not have
two waistcoats of the same material,
one of which It was alleged was punc
tured by a bullet and the other was
not. and we wish to learn If Mrs.
Prlneveau did not have the opportunity
when the body arrived home, to change
the waistcoats, we shall be buttled by
her, for she has arranged for Just such
a contingency."
"And away go our facts."
"Yes. but in comes our truth. Why
does Mrs. Prlneveau object to our
searching for that waistcoat?"
Daryl gave his legs a stretch, .rammed
his big lists into his pocket, and then
continued: "Look here, old fellow, 1 am
right: that calm, self-possessed woman
is living with a slow burning hell In
side, for fear somebody will bring an
intuition into this case and look past
the facts that she has arranged to the
truth that she cun't alter.
"I've got 11 working hypothesis that
tits every circumstance. What we've
got to do Is t keep this woman from
suspecting it till she gets on the wit
ness stand, and then pump It at her
and watch the results. The moment
she suspects that we have got the whole
secret she will go to pieces." ?
Three weeks of the month of April
passed by and very little was done.
Daryl went to Washington and to all
appearances had made uy his mind to
let things rest on his far-fetched
hypothesis. Ciadually 1 fell Into the
belief that it was a hopeless case of de
fense. I had learned nothing to
strengthen Uaryl's theory. The prose
cution openly avowed that they had a
clear case. My friend John lreve
patronizingly told me to do the best I
could, and reminded me that there
was no chagrin in making a good
tight In a forlorn hope. I called
upon Mrs. Prineveau once and she
received me with the utmost can
dor, without a sign of perturbation anil
offered to give me any assistance in
her power. I felt when I came away
that Daryl had made a great mistake.
As the day of the trial approached the
newspapers referred to Clarkson ns the
murderer whose guilt was unmistak
able, and Clarkson himself In one or
two Interviews had talked wildly and
desperately and hurt his own case Irre
mediably. I think It was on tlie.2fith of April
when I got an absurd and very brief
letter from Daryl in Washington. This
was all it said: "If you get discouraged
go and see Mrs. Clarkson. Will be on
with a fact or two on .Monday."
The letter did not stimulate me, but
the visit to Mis. Clarkson did. I found
her In Improved but modest quarters up
town and much more hopeful than I ex
pected. She Seized me by the hands and
said: "I pray for you night and morn
ingthat Heaven will preserve you
till this is over. I tremble to think
something might happen to you. (, sir,
we never can pay you; but when you
see that poor dear with his children In
his arms once more I am sure you will
feel that you have not been wholly un
paid." I tried to let down the pegs of this
strain as softly ns I could and tell her
that it would not do to be oversangulne
of the result, but she said, with calm
assurance, that she had no fear of the
result now, and shortly afterwards her
two winsome children announced to me
with pitiable importance that papa was
coming home again.
So when Daryl arrived on Monday I
told hlrn that I felt as If I were the only
guilty party in the case. We had
allowed an estimable woman to build
up the most unwarranted hopes only to
cruelly destroy them In the end.
Daryl paid no attention whatever to
this. "I have got an Important fact,"
he said. "The Prlnevenns were abroad
In 1N77. and stnld two weeks at (Jeneva.
I never should have known this but for
Mrs. Clarkson, who hunted up a letter
from Mr. Prlneveau to Mr. Clarkson
that had contained n remittance, and
this sentence: ' We have been detained
here a week over our time by Mrs. P.,
who has been making purchases.' "
"What do you see In that?"
"Geneva Is celebrated for Its watch
makers. I sent a cablegram from the
Washington burenu to the department
of Justice there asking them to find out
If Mrs. Prlneveau purchased a watch
while there. Here Is the answer, trans
lated. Don't read the olllcial verbiage
look at that sentence. What Is It?
Yes, Mine. Prlneveau purr bused n
large silver watch of llrlugdat Frere,
who was closing out business. Num
ber nnd description of watch unattain
able.' "
After reading this we both laid back
and looked nt each other In silence a
moment.
"It Is your sane opinion, Daryl, that
I'rlneveau was killed by a watch,"
"Just as sure of It ns Vlarkson's wife
Is that you will free her husband from
this charge."
"Hut we haven't got a scintilla of
proof."
"No, we'll make Mrs. Prlneveau fur
nish It on the witness stand.
Do you know what I said tt Daryl?
It's a rather humiliating confession,
but' I was considerably younger then
("Daryl," said I, "you are the senior
counsel for the defense.' ' I might as
well put myself In your hands and go It
blindly." ' 1 '
1 He pulled out his brawny and hairy
hands at) If to let mo see that they were
big and strong enough to tuke care of
me. Hut he only said:
: "Hood. I shouldn't wonder If I pulled
you out of It with a good deal of honor.
I
I'm counting on one little thing that
you don't think of."
"What Is it?"
, "That Mrs, Prlneveau retained you
for the defense." . - 1 .-!,! .-:
"Is that sarensm?'. , .::! .
. "No. Inspiration. Don't you know
why she retained you?"
"Because she thought I'd make the
worst possible defense."
"That was a secondary motive. The
primary one was compunction. She's
a woman and she couldn't help feeling
sorry for Clarkson, who was such a
helpless victim of her conspiracy. So
she eased up her conscience by pro
viding him with a lawyer. She felt
safe In doing It. She tried to steer you
Into the Insanity plea. Now all that
shows that there Is a weak spot In her,
We'll go to court and lie In wait' for
her and jump on It suddenly, and then
you'll see something dramatic,"

Some I pcrltnces of New Settlers In the
l ast Coast Country of I loridu.
It Is now very generally acknowl
edged that the south offers the most
tempting opportunities for Investors
and the best Industrial conditions for
home-seeksrs of all the undeveloped
ureas on this continent.' In both these
particulars, Florida Is equal to any of
her sister states of the south, and In
point of climate and heultftfulncss she
surpasses them all.
And even In Florida, the natural con
ditions are not oii a dead level all over
that Immense state. There Is a great
diversity of soil, of climate, of crop
capabilities, id' Industrial , and social
conditions, of transportation facilities
and of the means of producing wealth,
liut It Is to the East Coast country to
which the attention of the outside world
has In recent years been most gen
erally directed, for the peculiarities of
that section are'striklng and everything
about It Is attractive.
The Fust Const, In the present use of
the name, includes thut portion of the
state lying along the Atlantic from St.
Augustine to lilscuyne buy, extending
westward as fur 'us jthe valley of the
St. Johns and the lakes north of the
Kvergludes, In which thut river has Its
source. It Is watered by the Matanzas,
the Halifax, the Hillsborough, the In
dian, the St, Lucie and the Jupiter
rivers, by Lake Worth und by the lakes
and streams lying between that and
Hiscayne bay. It is traversed from end
to end by the Jacksonville, St. Augus
tine und Indian Kiver railway, while
a system of canals, now nearly com
pleted, not only supplements the ef
llclent railway service, but Is draining
and re-clalmiug great areas of land
which will soon be on the market.
"What do 1 know of "the Fast coast
country as a place to earn a living In?"
asked a prosperous-looking farmer the
other day, repeating the question of a
stranger who hail accosted him at the
railway station In St. Augustine. "What
do I know of it? I know all about it.
My home is here In the Fust Coast coun
try, and I wouldn't exchange It for any
other In the. world. To tell you all
about It would require days und weeks,
but let me tell you of a neighbor of
mine in Moultrie (only five miles from
St. Augustine). He bought three acres
of land there in 1S1IU and cleared It for
a vineyard. For the land he paid $150.
und up to July, ISM, the cost of clear
ing It of vines, labor, posts, wire and
fertilizer, had reached $4S0, so that his
vineyard 's'tood him' at that time $630.
In 1V.I2 he sold $27 worm of grapes from
it; in 1X!):1. $240 worth, and in 1MU. the
yield was It.flUO pounds, which brought
him In $1,1S7. or a yield of nearly $40
per acre. Any man can do ns well. But
suppose he does only half as Well
what's the matter with that?
I'pon being questioned still further
by the stranger as to how a new settler
with small means could live while his
vineyard or his grove or his pineapple
plantation was coming into bearing,
the Fast Coaster replied:
"You can raise nearly everything you
need to eat; you don't require many
clothes, for the climate Is very mild,
even in the winter time; and, if you are
willing to work out by the day, you can
always find something to do at good
wages. Hut 1 can't Illustrate the thing
any better than by tellln' you the story
of Hill Palmer, a Tar-Heeler, who
knocked about Florida considerably
nnd finally settled down on the East
Coast. For six years after he left his
home In North Carolina, Bill met only
bad luck and finally the month of De
cember. 1M2, found him 'dead broke' In
Titusvllle on the Indian river. I'll let
Hill tell the story himself as reported
In the New York Tribune:"
"It was there in Titusvllle," said Hill,
"that I caught on again. I got a job
working nt bridge building on the Fast
Coast line. The pay was good and the
living fair. I took up a homestead of
125 acres on the St. Lucie river, not far
from Sewell's Point, and have occupied
It for four months out of every year
since according to law. I have put up
a comf'terble shanty, cleared twenty
acres, and set them out In pineapples;
and upon my word, man, I can live
there for $:I0 a year! What I mean Is
that $2.50 a month Is all the rash.Jt
takes."
Hill went on to explain that with his
gun and his fishing-rod he could keep
his table supplied with game and fish
every day In the yenr; lie raises his
own potntoes nnd grows his own cane
for syrup; he works for the fruit grow
ers during the picking season, and so
gets alt the fruit he wunts free; his
land also produces corn, cabbages, to
matoes, cucumbers and other "truck"
In their season, and berries and small
fruit grow In great abundance. Two
suits of Jeans will do for a whole year,
with only one hat and one pulr of shoes
underclothes nnd socks not coming
Into the calculation at all;n little money
has to go for hog meat and Hour occa
sionally, anil for coffee regularly, and
all the rest Is for tobacco, .
"Next summer," concluded Hill, "I
shall have a crop of pines that ought
to bring me In at least $3,000 'ensh
money,' and then I shall be Just where
I was when I left Carolina In 1SH4 only
I shall have a 125-acre homestead be
side, and the whole thing acquired In
less than three years. Living the way
I do, I ought to be worth $50,000 Inside
of five ty'iirs. Then I'll be willing to
quit. Hut Just think of It, stranger,
how I knocked about for eight years
nnd had to 'go broke' before I struck
Mils yere Fast Coast country, where
an Industrious man can earn from $:i,0oo
to $5,000 a year easily by raising pine
apples and live on $:."
Df course, few men would care to live
the way Hill Palmer did. Hut really
land Is cheap on the Fast coast. The
climate Is superb, the schools excellent,
the people liberal and hospitable, wnges
good, work plentiful, and when the
crops come they bring fortune with
them.

Some Interesting Sights Among the
Waxen Celebrities at Madame Tussaud's.
London, Feb. 26. I treated myself to
a visit to Madame Tussaud's, yesterday
afternoon, and passed a most delightful
half-day among the famous treasures
carefully collected and preserved by her
and her enterprising descendants. This
collection of wax works and relics of
Napoleon Is the largest, and most won
derful In the world, us you know, end
ns the catalogue says, was established
more than 120 years ago, at the time
of the French revolution. Everyone
In London has . been to see Madame
Tussaud's and everybody who comes
to Loudon, 11' he has time, goes there
for a peep ut the figures of the old
kings and queens, the fumous genera! 1,
politicians, beauties, artists and crim
inals of the world, all of them us true
to life und as natural-looking as though
they wire to be seen In the tlesh. He
ralded us "wax works," they are sim
ply orks of art, und 1 wandered about
enjoying myself among the celebrities
all afternoon.
The entrance hall Is a charming r.f
fair, all done In marbles of most beauti
ful colors, and with great stulrcuses
und balconies running up from It to
the hall of kings, where the Ufe-slzed
etllgies of the old kings and queens
of "luerric Euglund" stund about near
the walls. I wus much Interested In
tin1 suits of old armor and coats of
mull, us well us In the costly ermine
robes and Jewels which bedecked these
figures, which In some cases are robed
In the very garments thut clothed
them when they were on earth long
ago. King Klchard III, the Henrys,
the Charleses, the miserable old four
Georges, Oliver Cromwell ull of them
were there und very Interesting to see,
too. At the eutruuee to this hall there
stands a line looking "bobby" or police
man, erect and alert, und If you alt J
and watch him for a few minutes you
may see various people go up to him
to Inquire the way Into some other hall,
and then turn away, shame-faced. und
downcast, having discovered they were
speaking to deaf ears, for the pour bob
by Is only wax!
Other ruinous Figures.
In the grand suloii, which opens on
the hall of kings, I found the figures of
Garibaldi, Shakescure, Lord Macau-
lay, little Tom Thumb, Sir Wulter
Scott, Voltaire. Sarah Slddons, Ellen
Terry, Henry In lug. the late Prince
Consort, and, best of all, Charles Dick
ens. 1 was delighted, too, to come
upon lonely, simple Jenny 1.1 nd stand
ing In a corner all by herself, and I as
sure you I looked at her a long, long
time, for I love her above all other
singers the world has ever had.
In the center of this hall were a num
ber of line groups of English royalty,
past and present. Jolly, red-headed
old tjueen Hess stood there, In a gown
most wonderful to behold, all stiff with
Jewels and luce and ruffs and crinoline.
and not far from her was her lonely
but unfortunate cousin. Mary, queen of
Scots, looking quite the ludy when
contrasted with poor Kllzabeth's loud
gorgeousness. N Not far from these
stand the miseruble old wretch. King
Henry V 1 1 1 , with his different wives
and other members of his family, all
dressed In the queerest, funniest, stiff
est old dresses you ever saw, Just like
the dresses that they really wore.
King Henry himself was the most
gorgeous of the party, dressed, as he
was, in a suit of bluzlng armor, and
with his plumes, Jewels and ermine
adding to the glorification of his large
and ugly person.
The American Colony.
Quite opposite this group stands our
own (leorge Washington, looking very
much disgusted at the company in
which he finds himself; and farther 011
around the room Is Pcnnsylvanla'3
gooil old William Penn, n his odd big
hat and Quaker clothes, while near him
stands a group of four departed presi
dents, chief among them, Lincoln, (len
eral (irant, and Carlleld, standing with
their heads together, their shades seem
ingly in consultation over their coun
try's hollow-sounding treasury at
home. Dear old Benjamin Franklin Is
here, nnd Andrew Johnson Intrude.!
his unwelcome presence Into this sacred
little group. Ex-President Harrison,
upon whom they have put a very ugly
suit of "store clothes," is here, too. My
united States pride suffered quite n
blow when 1 suw him thus decked out.
Just fancy putting striped trousers on
a president of the 1'nlted States!
These Tussauds do not know us, evi
dently.
All the crowned heads of Kurnne are
In this room, and are Indeed most In
teresting, especially the one of the late
Czar, Just placed there. The Herman
royal family are very nice to look at.
us are also King Humbert, of Italy,
and his queen, who, you know. Is very
beaut irul. though she is rather tat, to
not mince matters about It. Gladstone
Is here, also Balfour, Salisbury, Itose
bery and the rest of them, all looking
quite "lit" and long-wludcd, and ready
lor a debate at a moment's notice.
The Ouccn's Draw Inn Room.
T must confess that In spite of my
I'nlted States principles the most In
teresting thing In this room was the
group of a presentation at the Queen's
drawing room, which almost took my
ureal h uway, It was so very fine. The
Queen sits In her throne-chair and
about the room and back of her are the
Prince and Princess of Wales and the
hundred and one other princelings and
dukelets and such people who belong In
the fumlly. The men are In very hand
some uniform and the ladles In court
dress, which Is a sight to behold, I do
assure you, all of simply exquisite ma
terials, und with trains to them that
must make the weurer's life truly a
burden. Then there Is the long, long,
real lace Veil, which sweeps grandly
from the head to the end of this bar
barous train, and the ostrich plumes
In the hulr nnd the bouquet and the
Jewels! Court dress Is also very decol
late, the real reason fur this being the
fact that her majesty still has a Very
line neck and shoulders and always, on
this account, appears at drawing rooms
In low necked gowns, ordering her
faithful subjects to . do likewise,
whether their necks ore pretty or not.
The debutante In this group Is In white
satin, brocaded,, and Is Just making her
funny little "'bob" to the Queen, who
holds out her royal hand to be kissed.
It Is all Very fine, Indeed, especially
the gowns, which were made by one. of
the very good dussmaklng houses In
London. . .
Other Waxen Celebrities. '
I saw Victor Hugo, John Burns you
see how the English love this man
Lord Uyron, Jonn of Are, Bismarck, P.
T. llarnum, and Fran Liszt, who 'Is
decidedly ugly, no matter how he com
posed or played. I took a tremendous
dislike to him personally, though I do
love his music, The poor man was so
much of a moral coward that I wasted
no time whatever upon him, and I dare
say he didn't mind at all. Then, Ten
nyson was there In a little library all
by himself, and I spent a god deal of
tlmo worshipping at that shrine.
The next were the Napoleon rooms,
where I saw the real, actual coach In
which Napoleon and Josephine rode to
their coronation, as well as the coach
of his which was taken by the English
after the battle of Waterloo. There
were a number of relics of Napoleon,
collected long ago by old Madame Tus
saud, who was alive at the time, and
who must have been a most indefatig
able worker at such things. The fig
ures of Josephine and his royal wife,
Maria Louisa, are both there, as well
as those of the ex-Empress Eugenie
and the later Napoleons. The camp
bedstead, on which Napoleon slept
during the wars and while at Elba and
St. Helena, and on which he breathed
his last, some of his clothing, some of
his toilet articles, besides the plates,
and china which he used In his exile
are all there, together with a rag from
his pall, willow from his grave and a
number of other relics.
One of them In which I was much
Interested was the famous toilet case,
which was planned and personally su
perintended while being made, by
Mui'la Louisa herself, before her hus
bund's departure for Kusslu. It is this
box which contained the largest num
ber of comforts and luxuries ever
packed In the same amount of space,
and which, upon the capture of his
carrluge, attracted the attention of the
Russian soldiery, who broke open the
box and finding Napoleon's letters
there besides about 300 odd diamonds,
took charge of Its contents for Its im
perial owner. It Is a most Ingeniously
contrived affair, und speaks a great
ileal for the Inventive faculties of Its
contriver. Napoleon's and Josephine's
coronation robes are also there, besides
the sweet little cradle of his son, the
King of Home,
In tho Chamber of Horrors.
But I must not weary you with all
these details, which would, of course,
be more Interesting to you If you could
see the things Instead of merely hear
ing about them, so I will soon be done.
The next thing was the chamber of
horrors, to which I barely descended
and saw the identical guillotine, which,
during the first French revolution, de
capitated over 22,000 persons, among
whom were the unfortunate Louis XVI,
Marie Antoinette, Robespierre, the Duko
of Orleans and others. This melan
choly relic, which may be said to have
shed the best and the worst blood of
France, wus mounted Just as It was
when In actual use. with an executioner
at hand and a body under the de
scending knife, and I must acknowledge
that I gave It only a superficial in
spection, and then fled past It to the
other horrors, chief of which were
models of the heads of Marie Antoinette,
Louis XVI. Robespierre taken by old

lllstoriaul Object Lessons.
The figures of numbers of the famous
criminals of the world are In this room,
Oulteau among them, and their va
rious heads and faces are a deep study
I fancy, for many a physiognomist. I
think, if I wished to study character I
should come to Madame Tussaud's. for
there surely could be no better place
for cnmpurlng the difference In people
than lire, where good, bad and Indif
ferent are so fulthfully portrayed. This
exhibition certainly has Its historic
value, and If I were a teacher again
what a pleasure It would be to bring a
live little history class here and show
them the portrayals of th dead and
gone great figures In the world's his
tory as well as the men and women
who are making history today. The
lessons would not read like an old myth,
I fancy, but with these vividly pictured
kings and queens stalking about their
Imaginations I am sure they would
seize upon their histories as they would
upon a good novel. I know that my
few stray recollections of the English
nnd French history I learned In school
were remarkably brushed and bright
ened up by my little visit to the wax
works. I came home on the under
ground railway all by myself, and
found my way about beautifully. I
have disdained guide books so far,
though they are not to be despised, at
times, and have found my way about
with what Miss Radical oalls "alarming
ease." She says my bump of locality
Is "positively abnormal." You know
the streets do not run like ours, In
blocks, but some of them are the crook
edest, cutest, most puzzling thorough
fares! It Is like threading your way
through the Chinese puzzle sometimes.
Then, you know. If there Is any dif
ficulty there is the great, big, kindly
policeman who looks way down at you
from his six feet of height and shows
you the way out, or the right 'bus to
tuke. These policemen are lovely.
