BORROWED PLUMES By LESLIE THOMAS. In the corner of an otherwise empty corridor carriage sat the Hon. Peter Logram, regarding with complacent eye the reflection In the small hand-glass which lie held before his face, and al though his sole remaining hirsute adornment clustered more particularly to his head . he smoothed down an Imaginary parting carefully, giving a grunt or two expressive of satisfaction as he did so. The platform without was apparent ly deserted, and, having halted for a brief interval at a little-frequented sta tion, the train was now slowly gather ing speed. Suddenly, however, the sound of rap id steps and the panting of a runner caught his ear through the open win dow. Evidently a belated passenger was making one final sprint In the effort to board the moving train. Then nn adjacent carriage door slammed vio lently. "Idiot!" muttered Mr. Logram, testi ly. "Deserved to be killed!” He picked up a wig of thick, black hair from a box on the seat beside him. "Might ns well try this on, too," he said to himself, rumtnatlvely, set ting It upon his head. "All this mnkes one feel quite a child again," he thought, smiling. He brought the glass nearer. "H'm! • • * That seems to fit very well— looks almost natural, In fact.” "Yes, very useful things, aren’t they?” said a quiet voice at the door. "Come in handy now and again." The Honorable Peter turned* abruptly on the Intruder, nn Individual, attired In a top hat and frock coat, with ob- lous—but unavailable—pretensions to smartness. His clothing was some what disarranged, his tie awry. His face was red. "I beg your pardon,” said the Hon orable Peter, icily. "Don’t mention it!" beseeched tho new-comer, airily. "Don’t mention it at nil! I was only saying what useful things those— By gad!" he cried In amazement; "why. if It Isn’t ’Daddy,' good old ’Daddy!'" Mr. Logram was somewhat taken aback at first. Then his choler rose. "What the"—he spluttered. "How dare"— "Hardly knew you at first—with all that black hair," said the top-hatted gentleman, calmly. "Why, you’re got up fit to kill—absolutely regardless." he added, admiringly. " ‘Daddy,’ you’re a marvel—a perfect marvel!" "How dnre you, sir!” Mr. Logram brought out nt last. " ’Daddy,* Indeed! Of all the pieces of Impertinence—!" The other man broke Into a roar of laughter. "Good, but It won’t wash with me, you know. But I’m all right, old chap." He went Into paroxysms of laughter. "I'm one o’ the boys, I am. Name o* ('nrshott—Jimmy Carshott. They’ve often told me about you down at the club, Besides, you’re a public character, you are, you know. They've got a copy nf your ’physog’ at every big police station In England, I should think!" "Do you mean to Imply?"— "Course they have! You know that as well as I do," said Mr. Carshott, sharply. "Needn't try to 'come* It over me, thoygh, 'cause It won't wash." "But look here," Mr. Logram ex postulated, Tm not the man—the— er—friend of yours that you suppose." "Oh, cheese It!” said Jimmy Car- shott, rudely. "Be sensible, do! To come to business, now. Have you got such a thing as another ’o them wigs und a change *o duds for me. If so, I’ll hire 'em from you for the day." "I have not!” said the Honorable Peter, firmly. "Tell you, why,” Mr. Carshott con tinued. unmoved, "I hnd two of 'em from Scotland Yard on my track at the last station and only managed to catch this train and get away from 'em by the skin of my teeth. They’re aure to wire on, too, you know, and things’!! look rather awkward for me at the next stop." "That’s not for half an hour," Mr. Logram reminded him. "Oh, good egg! 1 ’ commented hla companion, cheerfully. "May be able to do a bit of u change in that time. Lucky thing, rather, me hanging on to this train." The Honorable Peter shook his head helplessly. He was. past speech. "Oh, well,” said the top-hatted gen tleman, sharply, "If you’ve nothing to suggest—" He shrugged his shoulders. "By the way," he added, suddenly, "for got to mention It before—chaps at the club were talking about it the other night. Hard luck on you, I call It! Your wife’s on your track again." "My what?” asked Mr. Logram, sharply. "Your wife." repeated his companion, firmly. "Your first—the Newcastle ofie.” "But you’re In error, my good sir. I am unmarried," said Mr. Logram, fiercely. Jimmy Carshott lifted a reproving finger. "Oh, you naughty old nian!” he re marked, playfully. "Mean to say that last one at Sheffield—O'oh! Well, she’s after you, anyway. Better be care ful.” The Honorable Peter rose hastily and began to collect his luggage. "I think It would be better,’’ he said frigidly, "If I were to change Into another com partment.” "Oh! Don’t want to get mixed up with me when the ’tees’ look In, eh? I quite understand, p’r’aps? I shan’t in terfere with you. By-by." Mr. Logram moved off toward the adjoining compartment. But it was full, and ns he came to the end one he caught sight of a familiar face through the glass. "Lady Pnrklnton!” he stammered, hurriedly. "Lady Parklnton and her girls! What Infernal luck! Now, what am I to do? I must get rid of this”— he raised a hand to his head—"some how, I can’t very well take It off in the corridor, either. If any one should see me • * • and besides !” Disconsolately, he wandered back to his former carriage. Mr. Carshott looked up as he entered. "Hullo!—back again?" he remarked, pleasantly. "Here, I say," he Inter jected hastily, "don’t be an Idiot now! FUNSTON'S LABORS , WERE D.r Private Leased Wire.

I know they want you for that Liverpool af fair.” Prenently a slackening of speed her alded their arrival at the next station. Mr. Carshott withdrew his head from the window. “Be careful not to say anything that will give me away," he said, beseech* Ingly. And he deliberately set himself to crawl under the neat. The train stopped. An Inspector and two constables opened the door ab ruptly. The sound almost awakened the Honorable Peter Logram, for he grunted and shifted his position slightly. "Beg pardon, sir." The inspectors tone, as he tapped the sleeper on the shoulder was distinctly apologetic. "Haven't seen a chap In a top hat and frock*coat, small black mustache and dark complexion, I s'pose?" Mr. Logram opened his eyes lazily. “Eh! Have I seen what?" He waxed indignant. "How dare you come here disturbing people like this! Can t you attend to your own busine* without tny he "Ai’l right, sir; alt right! Don't you worry.

' Mr. Logram watched the prisoner descend, with hts escort, to the plat form. His curiosity even led him. Im prudently enough, to thrust his head out of the window. "Come along, Slim Jim, of the constables, almost rudely. « on- der you didn't try on your gameswtm that gent In your carriage. Strucx by a sudden brilliant Idea, he { urn ™ to the Honorable Peter: "Dldpt h>»« anything while you were asleep, i s’pose, sir?” “No." said Mr. Logram.

With a violent effort he endeavored to board a train, but his avoirdupois was against him, and It w*as moving quickly by now. Gradually he was leu beh * nd - . • . Mr. Logram groaned; then set him self to adopt drastic measures to coun teract this, the latest development. With considerable trouble he packed his thick traveling overcoat * Into a quite Inadequate space, and donned in Its stead a light-colored dust-coat, which he drew from one of his bags. "Wish I’d never undertaken to get these blessed wigs. Private theatricals are a beastly nuisance." But on arriving at the next station, and noticing the careful preparations made for his reception, the humorous side of the affair came uppermost in his thoughts. It was with a sense «>r pleasurable excitement that he pa*se«i successfully through the suspicious of ficials who waited for 'Daddy’ ^Hson, In expectation of an epoch-making capture.
