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 he held before hla 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. 0 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 an 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 n box on the seat beside him. "Might ns well try this on, too,” he said to himself, rumlnatlvely, set ting It upon his head, "All this makes 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. "Como Jn handy now and again." -The Honorable Peter turned abruptly on the Intruder, an Individual attired In a top hat and ffook coat, with ob vious—but unavailable—pretensions to smartness. His clothing was some what disarranged, his tie awry. His face wall red. "I beg your pardon," said the Hon orable Peter, icily. Don’t mention It!" beseeched the new-comer, airily. "Don’t mention It at all! 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. AVhat 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 dare you, sir!" Mr. Logram brought out at 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." lie went Into paroxysms of laughter. "I'm one o’ the boys, I am. Name o’ Carshott—Jimmy Carshott. They’ve often told me about you down nt the club. Besides, you’re a public character, you are, you know. They’ve got a copy of your ‘physog’ at every big police station In England, I should think!" ‘Do you mean to Imply?"— ‘Course they have! You know that well as I do," said Mr. Carshott, sharply. "Needn’t try to ‘come* It over me, though, ’cause It won’t wash." "But look here," Mr. Logram ex postulated, "I'm 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 and a change ’o duds for me. If so, 1*11 hire ’em from you for the day." • "I have not!" said the Honorable Peter, firmly. "Tell you, why,” Mr. Carshott con tinued, unmoved, "I had two of ’em from Scotland Yard on my track at the last station arid only managed to catch this train and get away from ’em by the skin of my teeth. They’re sure to wire on, too, you know, and thlngs’11 look rather awkward for me at the next stop." "That’s not for half an hour," Mr. Logram reminded him. "Oh. good egg!" commented fils companion, cheerfully. "May be able to do a bit of a 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 tft 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 one." "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 man!" 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 as he came to the end one he caught sight of a familiar face through the glass. "Lady Parklnton!” 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 ns he entered. ‘Hullo!—back again?" he remarked, pleasantly. "Here, I say," he Inter jected hastily, "don’t be an idiot now! FUTON'S LABORS WERE CRITICISED By Private Denied Wire.

Presently a slackening of speed her alded their arrival nt the next station. Mr. Carshott withdrew his head from the window. - "Be careful not to say anything that will give mo away," he aald, beseech ingly. And he deliberately set himself to crawl under the seat. The train stopped. An inspector and two constables opened the door ab ruptly. The sound almost awnkened the Hnnorablo Peter Logram, for he grunted and shifted his position slightly. "Beg pardon, air.” 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'poseT Mr, Logram opened hi* eyes lazily'. "Eh! Have I seen what?" He waxed Indignant. "How dare you come here disturbing people like thl*! Cant you attend to your own buslnes without my help?" "All right, sir; all right! Dont you worry. If you've been asleep, of course • • • " The two constables follow ed the Inspector In. , Rough hands presently dragged Jim- my Carshott, dusty and disconsolate, into the light of day. Mr. Logram watched the prisoner descend, with hla escort, to the plat- form. Hla curiosity even led him, Im prudently enough, to thrust his head out of the window. _ ,, "Come along, 8Ilm Jim, eald ons u, the constables, almost rudely. 11 der you didn’t try on your games with that gent In your carriage. Struck by a sudden brilliant Idea, he to the Honorable Peter: "Dldnt lose anything while you were asleep, * s’pose, sir?” "No." said Mr. Logram. Turning abruptly, he caught the in spector's eye. The latter was staring at him with a gaxe of fixed Intensity. His face bore a puzxled expression, as If he were trying to recall some fai t from the unfathomable recesses of nt* official mind. Mr. Logram sank back Into his seat. "Er—good afternoon, he said, nur rledly, through the window. "Fine—er The train began to move slowly, hut to his dismay the inspector walked alongside. „ ,, "Got a w ig on, I notice, he said, meaningly, leaning forward.

With a violent effort he endeavored to board a train, but his avolrdupot- was against him, and it was moving quickly by now. Gradually he was lert behind. ., , 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 ot pleasurable excitement that he pa»*ea successfully through the suspicious of ficials who watted for ‘Daddy In expectation of an epoch-mbklng capture. "Give me a few sticks of grease paint, or whatever they call It, «>> Jove!” said the Hon.
