will be
a great accommodation, and I shall
never forget it. 1 can see by your
appearance that you are a gentle
man. Consider me a friend and ac
cept my oiler.” x
“But what service is required of
me?” asked the professor, who had
a vague idea that a grand piano had
suddenly gone wrong.
“ Why, you see, I am giving a din
ner to some friends. It is all on
the table, and we have just discov
ered that there are thirteen of us.
That would never do at all. Now,
if you will dine with us, you shall
be well paid for your services, and
I dare say you will be in time for
your flute solo at the theater, as
you can be excused when you de
sire. You will come? Thanks!”
The professor followed his host
in a state of absolute subjection, as
if he might have been hypnotized,
but the fact was that the poor man
had not broken his fast sinca morn
ing, and the delicious aroma of the
dinner coming through the open
door proved irresistible. He gave his
name in whisper and was handed
over to a servant, who took him up
stairs into a guest chamber, helped
him remove his shabby overcoat
and whisked off his best suit with a
silver handled brush, taking its
threadbare glint for dust. It was
well he was engaged to play; other
wise he would not have been in
evening dress. He was beginning
to enjoy the little comedy in which
he was himself an actor.
There was no introduction. His
host motioned him to a seat be
tween the maiden lady and a severe
matron who turned her Bilken back
on him to talk to her neighbor on
the other side. The professor’*
pride did not once assert itself. He
was masquerading; that was all.
But fate had not done with Pro
fessor Smythe.
The consomme had a dash ot
champagne in it, and new life was
infused into the veins of this pro
fessional diner out. The fish and
game and pate that followed were
all triumphs of the culinary art, and
the hungry man cloyed the edge of
his appetite, not by the bare imag
ination of a feast, but by the feast
itself. It was no feast of the Bar
mecide either, for the viands were
actual, and the wine was not a pre
tense, but a delightful vintage,
served in cut glass goblets. The
poor professor felt like saying tc
his neighbor, “Pinch me I” for it
w*» like a dream or an illusion rath
er than a reality.
But the striking of the clock re
minded him that he had been there
an hour, and^as he had broken the
epell of the unlucky thirteen he ven
tured to excuse himself and rose
stiffly from his place and bowed
himself out of the room.
He was followed by a servant,
who handed him an envelope with
the compliments of the gentleman
with whom he had just dined. Not
for worlds would he have opened it,
though it was unsealed, before the
man, but he accepted it graciously
and went upstairs to get his hat
and overcoat unattended.
A number of handsomely appoint
ed chambers were on the upper hall,
and the professor glanced into each
as he passed on his way to the par
ticular guest chamber where he had
lift his belongings. Perhaps ha
was a trifle overcome by sherry and
other beverages, but he thought the
room had been darkened and that he
was right. He stood a moment in
the doorway and looked cautiously
in, peering about at the luxury, but
at the same time noting that it was
net the dressing room for which h6
was looking. Before he could step
back and turn down the corridor
again the unexpected happened. He
received a sudden and violent push
from behind, which flung him for
ward out of the doorway into the
room; the door was instantly locked
upon him, and he was a prisoner.
“Smythe luck!” said the poor man
as he tried in vain to open the door
md knew by the rumpus he could
tear outside that the house was in
a state of excitement. “I suppose j oaaui
ther will think I was trying to steal ‘
‘ someth iug.”
And to add to his terror he heard
I the alarmed household coming up
i stairs, and the next moment the
door of bis room was opened, and
hi*'host, backed by all the male
gwMta, stood in the open doorway.
“What are you doing here?” was
tba Aral quasi ion His host propound
fication of inconsistency »nd the 1
lie!
“Naturally, you will understand,'
I had cr.Iy one thought in my mind j
—to buy the goblet back again. I j
asked ih :• price.
“ ‘A... monsieur,’ answered the
clerk, '.he precious objects in-that
case are in the special care of lime.
Brunard, the proprietress, and she
alone attends to any business con
nected with them. Mme. Brunard
has just gone out, and I can say
nothing about them. Perhaps ma
demoiselle has some instructions.'
“ ‘No,’ answered the young girl
thus addressed, putting down her
embroidery and raising her eyes to
me. ‘Mother takes cnarge of all
in the case, monsieur, and I have
not even the key. My mother will
return at 6 o’clock, and monsieur
will perhaps look in again tonight.’
“I said that I would do so and
left the shop.”
“Well, my dear Octave,” said I,
interrupting my friend in his tale,
“we will both go there together, for
I do not mean to leave your side
until this matter is cleared up.”
“Cleared up!” he exclaimed impa
tiently. “There’s no clearing up
about it. The solution is evident
and obvious. I am forgotten, and
my token has been thrown away and
sold.”
At 6 o’clock we returned to the
shop. Octave entered alone, and I
walked up and down outside waiting
for him and looking in at the shop
"windows. I had to wait a long time,
nearly an hour. Evidently the in
terview was not hurrying on with
winged feet.
At length my friend came, his
face radiant.
“Well,” I cried, “have you got
your goblet ?”
“Yes, no—that is to say, I have
it, and I haven’t it. Ah, my friend,
I hardly know what I am saying I
am so upset, so happy 1 Ah, do you
know that women are angels ? Don’t
you understand me ?”
“I must confess that—er”—
“Well, I’ll tell you all about it.
The moment I entered the shop the
little girl with the embroidery met
me and said her mother had just
come in.
“I followed her to the farther end
of the store, where in the semidark
ness I saw a woman coming to meet
me.
‘"Madam,’ I said, There is in
your showcase an article that I feel
disposed to purchase.’
“ ‘Yes, monsieur, I know,’ she
answered quickly. ‘You refer to
the old porcelain goblet. I regret it
exceedingly, monsieur, but it is not
for sale. It is only here to be ke
for the one person who has
ht to reclaim it and to whom it
kept
the
And how do yon know, madam,
that 1 am not the person ?’
“At this moment the clerk lit the
and we found ourselves sudden*
ace to face in the strong light.
“‘Louise!’
“ ‘Octave!’
“This unexpected meeting natur
ally caused long explanations. These
Louise gave me frankly and freely.
When their house was pulled down,
Mme. Audry and her daughter left
Batignolles to live in Paris. A short
while after there was a financial
catastrophe which made a great stir
and ruined many people, among
them Mme. Audiy. The old woman
shortly afterward died of grief and
