He had come direct .to my room and had thereby saved himself. When he left me after our conversation, he picked up_ his satchel and turned in some- where tor the night.` He knew the railroad stations would be watched, and he planned to get out of town in` my company. It cost me 100 in cash and no end of worry to get clear of the law, and when I nally returned to the hotel the 'whllom urbane and humble landlord met me with a smile and said: Ialrl-I\J VIII Yes, I know they failed to convict you. but just at present we are greatly overcrowded. and I cannot accommo- date you.

I tried my keys on the lock of the` strange bag ~ and - opened it-. It was stued full of what I at rst supposed. to be clothing, but after a little inves- tigation I grew white in the face and _weak in the knees. Down below the clothing were English consols and rail- way bonds to the amount of half a million dollars. I didn't have to` gure much to come to the wnclusion that a` big. robbery had been pulled 01! and that Mr. Bliss was in it-. Itwas my duty to inform the policeiat once, but before I couldleave the hotel two oili- cers called and arrested me. They had me red handed, as it were, and ;even at the police station they would pay no attention to-my assertions or prot- estations. In England a person `un- der arrest is deemed guilty, at least by the police. I` was taken back to` London, where the robbery had oc- ; curred, and, though-I had money and `credentials and was an innocent man, it took me four weeks to get out of the grip of the law. Meantime the asinine oicers had given _ Mr. Bliss time to get half around the globe. "`I`A__ L.-- ____ I__._ ._ T j-..
