"At the cad of the Napoleonic wars

the Chancellor of the Excleequer had
alaggested ia the Ilouse of Commone
that by the end of the present finan-
cial year our total debt would be In
the neighborhood of 6,000 millions -
probably rather below thateabove that
amount. Tlaat 6,000 millione would in-
clude money lent to the Dorablone
and our Allies, and roues' spent on
objects which would remeio and have
a value after the war was aver, such
es shiPS, factories, aud other things
of the same kind. So much of that as
we might regard as recoverable ought
to be deducted from the figure of 0,-
0e0 millious, Taking that sum as the
gross, or exceesive, figure of the Na-
tional Debt, it was approximately six-

now 3,000 millions a year, If, tbere-
fore, our debt had inereased slx-and-a

As Mr. Chamberlain says, much et
thle large debt is recoverable, being
represented by loans, and value re-
ceived in permanent form for the
money expended, Another thing, Much
ot this national debt is owed to the
BrItieb people, so that it is not lost to

Neil entered the courtroom feeling
like an aetor called upon to play the
leaaing part in a play unknown to
him. A fresh doubt of the story he
was going to tell attacked htm-and
It 'was too late th think up another
now.
The great room was brightly light-
ed. It was pumice to the ceiling with
a light yellow wood. As tong as he
lived that color affected Neil with
elight sicituesse Hartigan was at his
We, rosy and self-conscious. The
back benches were half full, mostly
with anxious -eyed. men and women
who had a• stake In the cases to come.
Some there were wbo slept in painfully
upright attitudes, calculated not to
attract a court officer's attention,
There was a cloud of policemen, all
looking oddly defenseless without
their visore,
On a bench inside the gate Neil saw
the Old Codger watching and waiting,
bursting with vindIctiveness.
His heart sank. He had a vagrant
• hope that apoplexy might intervene.
Neil looked eagerly toward the
magistrate's bench. Upon it be saw a
youngish man with a tall head, sol-
emn,and rather disgusted looking, like
one who ,isgperforining an unpleasant
duty, self-righteously. Meeting him
cutside, Neil would have passed over
him indifferently. "Commonplace"
would have been his verdict. But
there he sat, enthroned above, charg-
ed with a power over the body.
"I'll never be able to do anything
with this owl," thought Neil. A seb-
tie antagonism crept into his breast
which didn't help his case any.
The Old Codger needed no prompt -
hag to tell his talc. It poured out of
him with embellishments. Neil stared
itulignantly., "What does he want to
toe for?" he thought. "It's bad en-
ough!" Officer Hartigan followed
the complathent on the stand. The
ether tenants of No. 21 were not pre-
sent.
While the testimony was being giv-
en another policeman touched . Neil
on the arm, and to his astonishment,
offered him coat and hat.
"The striker guy that was acquitted
left tb.ese for youse," he said. "Said
you'd need 'em if you had to take an-
other ride. Saki his card was in the
pocket If yott wanted to return 'em."
Neil thankfully accepted the gifts.
The coat fitted him. Though he was
not borne down jsy any feeling of
guilt, still with the cOat he put on an
increased self-respect. So dependent
are men on their 'habiliments.
"Well, have you anything to say for
yourself?" the magistrate finally ask-
ed, turning a lack -lustre eye on the
Prisoner.
"Only this," said Neil. "I ask you
as a reasonable man if I had intended
to rob this man's room would have
annbunced myself by jumping through
the skylight?"
The court attendants looked a little
seindalized at the familiar tone.
"I don't know," said the magistrate,
solem.nly, "never having been a thief.
What were you doing on the roof?"
n artist" said Neil, "I was !
studying the effect of rain at night,'
said his honor. "You have
given your address as No. 13, while
the complain,ant says he lives at 21.
Why didn't you stay on your own
roof?"
"The composition was better over
there," explained Neil.
The magistrate looked blank, but
would not confess his ignorance of
the term. Nell perceived that he was
making an impression.
"I mean the arrangeraents of ob-
jects and shadows," he explained.
"Have you any witnesses?"
"I was alone."
"I mean character witnesses. Some
one to inform the courtithat you are
what you claim to be."
"No," said Neil, assuming an air of
indignation. "I don't want to drag
any of my friends into this ridiculous
business."
"H'm!' said his honor again. After
considering a moment or two an
expedient worthy of Soloraon occurred
to him., He looked gravely pleased at
his own pereplcacity. "You say you
are an artist. Clerk, give him pencil
and paper. Now, make a quick sketch
Of me," He aesumed a before -the -
camera expression of judicial dignity.
This was child's play to Neil. His
heart looked up. He was doing better
than he had expected, But prudence
held his hand. The. tall -headed, sol-
emn young man lent himself fatally
to caricature. Nell doubted his ability
to flatter him:
"I couldn't do your honor justice in
a short space of time," he said, re-
spectfully. "I will do this poithemaii
instead."
The taagistrate looked disappoittted,
but signed to him to proceed. °Meer
Hartigan blushed to his ears and
looked wildly around, But he was
trapped. The quiek pencil was already
at work. The other policemen grin-
ned beide(' their hands. In a few
moments Neil handed the paper up to
the bench. There was the plump offi-
cer, rosy gills, Irish upper lip, and
honest disgruntled eyes to the life.
And tall In twenty lines,
"Not bad! Not bad!" murmured
his honor, looking at Neil with a.
tinge of respect. Me Has graciously
pleaeed to pass the sketch around. A
discreet titter travelled in lts treeil.
All the policemen Were delighted ex-
eept the Aubject of the sketch, who
sniffed cotttenaptuonsly, The tide ran
stroug in the prieoner'a favor. Feel-
ing it, Nell east down lik eyes to hide
any untoward exultation.
"fle didn't take anything, did he?"
the magistrate asked the Old Cbdger.

nessed, she sailed down the aisle With
a gracious bend In her back. She was
miming daintily at arm's length a
bunch of rusty deserekeys,
She took the stand, "I am also a

choice phraseology and melodiously.

eermie said the court, looking
grave.
Madame de la Warr was staring
strangely at the prisoner, "Why-whY

She forgot the nielliflubus aceents.
"If it ain't the sculptor fellow on the

Nell played his last desperate cartl.

This was a lie. There had been
overtures of friendship -but from the
other side, Neil glared at.h.er help-
lessly„

his honor, Officer Wilkinson, you

answer to your summons at the door,
you aro instructed to force it, and tO
report to the court on any evidence

Neil turned a little sick. The game
wee up now for sure -and when he
had seemed so near freedom! Truly, it
seemed as if a maliciously inspired
fate were pureuing him in the person
of the horrible milltner.
"Take him back," the magistrate
said to Hartigan "keud wait until I
send for you again."
Neil turned blindly toward the door
back to the pen. As he was about to
pass through the clerk or the court
spoke to Hartigan. It seemed that he
wanted to verify something in the
evidence. Hartigan turned to his deek,
and thus It happened that Nell passed
through the door alone. Neatly coated
as he now was and carrybag a geed
hat, the officer who kept the record
on the other side of the door, did not
immediately recognize him.
"Well, what do you want?" he de-
manded, gruffly.
Neil clutched at the chance like a
drowning man at his straw. "I want
to consult with My client," he Bald,
glibly.
"Don't you knew enough to apply at
the cOnsultation room?" stormed the
policeitian. "This is the prisoners'
door!"
"I've never praetised In this court

did not expect to get away with,this;
still, it was a cha.nee. He was ler.
ventfy paying that Hartigan might
still be delayed.
"Huh! you must be a new one!"
sneered the bluecoat. "Who is your
client, anyhow?'
Neil thought of his benefactor.
"Adolph Zinns," he said.
The policeman, still grumbling, con-
sulted his big book, while Nell waited
in raid -air, so to speak.
"Discharged," be said. "He don't

"Ohl -much Obliged," said Neil.

In Park Row, Beekman and Scruce
streets, he found a reassuring bustle
around the newepaPer offices. The
morning papers were being loaded on
automobile trucks with a deal of noise
and excitement. In the doorways and
alleys around hovered a crowd ,of
homeless idlers drawn like Neil to the
only spot in town where there was
something going on at that hour. Nell
list himself comfortably among them.
The frantic haste of the workers and
the apathy of the lookers-on offered
a sharp comment on modern, social
economy.
It began to grow light. He dreaded
the daylight, but all the wishing in tbe

ute. The next best thing Was to find
a safe hiding -place. In New York the
current of Me flows north and south,
anti therefore on the eastern and
western edges of the island are to bo
found many quaint little backwalers
forgotten of the city.
Nell, instinctively guessing this,
turned east up Cherry Hill to Corlears
Hoek, then north, always clinging to
the waterside.
The neighborhood lit'which he found
him.self had nothing in common with
modern New York, The humble streets
the names of which New Yorkers
themselves never hear, with their little
tenements Ralf empty and their out-
of.date fectorles half ruinous, were as
quaint and undisturbed as those of a
mid -state town that was propperous
half, a century ago. The solitude of
these streets revealed Neil in startling
focus, but fortunately the district did
not seem to be worth policing. He
made haete to -find refuge.
A. lumber yard proinised well. There
was a high board fence on the street
with a gate padlocked on the outside.
Therefore there could be no one with-
in. The piles of lumber stuck up over
the top of the fence, and much. of It
was weather-beaten, showing that it
had been there a long time. Some
empty barrels beside the fence offered
an easy way over,
With a hasty survey up and down,
Nell 'climbed on a barrel, and, swing-
ing over the fence, dropped to the
ground on the other side. -
The alleys surrounding the tall piles
of lumber made an admira.ble maze for
one who wished to hide. Neil pene-
trated it to the farthest side of the
Yard, where the undisturbed lookeeof
everything suggested that the employ-
ees rarely name. Here the piles tow-
ered thiety and forty feet in. the air,
and the deep pits between were like
miniature canons.
. ttoUnding the last corner, Nell foud
n
himeelf in a little cul-de-sac formed- bY
two. piles of lumber and 6 blank brick
wall At •the end of it was a little
stoning shelter of boards, evidently lett
by some previous outcast
.A. sound from beneath it startled
and 'warned Neil. He ducked his head
to look: A man was sleeping there.
Neil hesitated whether to retreat, or
to provoke an encounter. His great -
ea need in the world was of a dis-
guise, and here was a, good, one. The
man was unquestiohably down on his
luck'as he was himself, and he
thought he could safely trust to the
freemasonry of the unfortunate. In any
case the man was no bigger that he.
He felt able to handle him.
Bebe stayed.
The sleeper becoming conscious in
hts sleep of a gaze upon hint, stirred
and awoke. Seeing Neil he bristled
detlently,
"Web, wot abaht it?" he said in the
accepts of Whitechapel.' "Cawn't
bloke 'aye a free sleep ih your blighted

"Keep your shirt on," said Nell,
"I'm no better off than yourself. I'm

ENGLISH INN SIGNS,
Invariably Are Derived From
Some Historical Event.
There are thousands of inns scatter-
ed throughout the BrItieh Isles -inns
which hales existed for centuriee past
as the places of call for the stage
coach, which have marked the way
along well-known routes, arid have
been welcomed as houitee of rest along
the less frequented ones, These old-
time hotels have °oath down to pos-
terity, altered Perhaps in character
and appearance, but still relics of the
past, with their quaint names and
still quainter signs.
In London alone there are records of
countless Inns or taverns, numbers of
which are now extinct or rebuilt to
meet the needs of the hour. The _phi
mail coaehes journeying along the
Great•North road uSed unfeelingly, for
the benefit of their passengers, to call
at the Angel and the Peacock inns at
Islington, witht their then, low, old-
fashioned, wainscotede parlors, while
not far away ori Pontonville hill was
the Belvedere tavern; famous for many
yeare on account of its debating soci-
ety, at which many prominent politi-
cians enjoyed their first oratorical
triumphs.
One of the most aneient lane in the
metropolis is the Bricklayers' Arms
inn, at, the corner of Tower Bridge
road, This was recently rebuilt, but,
its name dates back some, six,hundred
years, At Ludgate circus is the Belle

so named in honor of the Indian prin-

ance, the premises of which have now
been converted into a railway booking
office, was the George and Blue Boar,
which used to stand at High Holborn,
and was the last "house of call" for
criminals on their way to Tyburn. It
is also related during the great rebel-
lion, it messenger was found there,
carrying a letter' from Charles I., in
which the king expressed Intention of•
having Cromwell and Ireton executed,
and the discovery of this information
decided his would-be victims to have
the sentence visited on Charles him-
self.
One of the most famous of the anci-
ent London inns is the Mother Red
Cap inn at Camden town, the sign-
board of which used to consist of
the portrait of an old woman with a
scariet capttlet or hood covering her
head and shoulders. The Old Bell inn
and Oxford Arms used to be in War-
wiek lane. One ot the most renowhed
old coaching houses Was the Wbite
lions° inn in Fetter lane,
Many inns have been written of in
literature. Readers of Dickens, the
world over, know that Sam 'Weller
was, originally "Boots" at the White
Hart inn In the borough,. and Chaucer
relates that the Tabard Aim at South-
wark, Of which little more time' the
name now remains, was the Meetiog
place of his Canterbury Pilgrims on
their road to the shrine of Thomas A.
13ebket.
AMOng the quaintest of inn signs
are those ot "The Angel and Steel-.
yards" symbolizing justice holding her
scales; "The Bull and Bedpost," indi-
cating it bull fastened to it stake to be
