The thought thrilled him that some where in the great crowd, of which he was now a part, were the two hu man beings he had come so far to see. He put on his best clothes and with the letter which had been carefully treasured—under bis pillow at night and pinned to bis pocket lining through the day—set out lu a cab for the lodgings of Doctor Franklin. Through a maze of streets Where people were “thick as the brush In the forests of Tryon county" he proceeded until after a Journey of some thirty minutes the cab stopped at the home of'the famous American on Blooms bury square. Doctor Franklin was in and would see him. presently, so’the liveried servant Informed the young man after his card had been taken to the doctor’s office. lie was shown Into a reception room and asked to wait, where others were waiting. An hour passed and the day was growing dusk when .«J! 4he wallers save .Tack had been disposed of. Then Franklin entered. Jack remembered- the strong, well knit frame and kindly gray eyes of the philosopher. His thick hair, Imaging below bis collar, was. now white, lie was very grand in a suit of black Manchester velvet with white silk stockings and bright silver buckles on his shoes. There was a gentle dig nity in his face when he took the hoy’s hand and said with a smile:' “You are so big, Jack. You have built a six foot two inch man of that small lad I knew in Albany, and well finished, too great thighs, heavy shoulders, a mustache, a noble brow, and shall I say the eye of Mars?—IFft- "Are they the Hutchinson, Rogers and Oliver letters?” “The same.” “I think they are known to every one in America that reads. We are Indignant that these men horn and raised among us should have said that a colony ought hot to enjoy all the liberties of a parent^state and that we should !*• subjected to coercive measures.’ They had' expressed no such opinion save in these prlvateTet- ters. It looked like a base effort to curry favor, with the English gov ernment.” "Yes, they were overworking the curry comb," said Franklin. “I had been protesting against an armed force In Boston. The government de clared that our own best people were In favor of It. I, knowing better, de nied Ike- statement. Te jtrove their claim, a distinguished baronet put the letters in my hands.. He gave me leave to send them to America on condition that they should not be pub lished. Of course, they proved nothing hut the treachery of Hutchinson, Rogers and Oliver. Now I seem to be tarred by the same stick." 1 Jack told him of his prospects and especially of the generosity of his friend ^Solomon Binkus and of the plight the latter was In. "He must be a remarkable man,” said Franklin. “With Preston’s help he will be coming, on to London in a day or so. If necessary you and I will go down there. We shall not neglect him. Have you any dinner clothes? They will he Important to you.” “I thought, sir, that I should best wait until I had arrived here.” “You thought wisely. I shall Intro duce you to a good cloth mechanic, do to him at once and get one suit for dinner and perhaps two for,the street. It costs money to be a gentleman here; It’s a fine art. While you are in London you’ll have to get the uniform and fall In line and go through the evolutions or you will he a ‘North American savage.’ You shall meet the Hares In my house as soon as your clothes are ready. Ask the tailor to hurry up. They must be finished by Wednesday noon. You had better have lodgings near me. I will attend to that for you.” . ’ • The Doctor sat down and wrote on a number of cards.

Jack observed a curious procession on the sidewalk passing between two lines of halted people. "Hit’s their majesties!” the driver whispered under his breath. The king—a stout, red-nosed, blue- Jowled man, with big, gray, staring eyes—was In a sedan chair surmount ed by a crown. .He was dressed In light cloth with silver buttons. Queen Charlotte, also in a chair, was dressed In lemon colored silk ornamented with brocaded flowers. The two were smil ing and bowing as they passed. In a moment the procession entered a great gate. Then there was a crack of whl^s and the traffic resumed its hurried pace. When they—had been'conducted to the presence of Doctor Franklin he tookr,Solomon’s hand and said: “Mr. Binkus, I am glad to bid you -welcome." He looked down at. the sinewy, big- boned, right hand of the scout, still' holding it. v “Will you step over to the window a moment and give me a look at you* hands?” he asked. They went to the window and th# Doctor put on his spectacles and ex amined them closely. “I have never seen such an able spun. Pink a*» -the White' us the’ robe of the sin less one.

A number of small hoys scurried along with them, curiously staring Into the face of Solomon. ‘Ain’t this like cornin’ into a sav age tribe that ain't seen no^ civilized human bein’ fer years?” , v “Wot Is It?” a voice shouted. “'F’s n blnrsted hush w’acker from North Hnnierica, ’e is," another an swered. Jack stopped a fab and they got into it. "Show us some of the great build ings and land us In an hour at 10 Bloomsbury square,, East,” he sald» With a sense of relief they were whisked away In the stream of traffic. They passed the king’s palace and the great town houses of the duke of Bedford and Lord' Balcarras, each of which was pointed out by the driver.
