Young Mr. Hubert Jenkins, gentle‘ man-in-waiting to young Mr. Chris- topher Deane, selected from the bundle of discarded tur, which his employer had good-naturediy given to him, one which porticuhrly pleased his color- loving eye. He did not know it, but this tie w“ of that ' company supposed to be worn only by past and present pupils of Roxtotr--that historic pub- lie school. . It was quite a vivid affair, and, though this unit was rather faded and frayed, it still retained its dis- tinetiveneur." - v When he surveyed hinwelf in the mirror, Rube? nodded to his imge there as thong saying: “Good! You'll For twenty-fbur hours or so he was to be, as he put it, "oft the leash." His employer, who had already gone from the Bat in St. "mes's, was to spend, the day on the river, and, as be pro-' posed to wind things up by dancing in a houseboat, would not return till the early hours of the morning. Graciously he had informed his mun that he could buzz around by himself, and had suggested that one of the places to which he should buzz woo Lord's cricket ground. "Very good, sir," Hubert had said in his correct way. "ha a matter of fact, I had Lord's in my mind." l Now, this was true, for Hubert) though he had never played cricket himself, approved of the game, and followed with zest the successful activities of the county which he had selected as being most worthy of sup- It was not tilr after the luncheon interval that he met Mr. Aubrey Pennyweather, a sportsman only a year or two older than himself, now newly returned from Ceylon, where he had been employed on a tea- punter's estate. Hera it is to be noted that Hubert was a good-looking feliow, trained to the ways of gentle-folk and satisfac- torily spruce of appearance. It is to be noted, too, that Mr. Aubrey Pennyweather was as gener- ously buiit on the mental side " on tho physical. This does not mean that he had a superfluity of brain-force. It, means merely that he was of the noble company of the hai.'-feilows- well-met. A Little Piece of Silk is bsflkient to Alter a Man's Life-story. Another important circumstance is that, though Aubrey had come to Lorde alone, as Hubert had done, he had tempted appetite by consuming several hotly kicking eocketai'is, and at lunch had drunk champagne. It chanced that he and Hubert al- most bumped into each other when, rain having stopped the match and made further play impossible, they were going towards one of the exits. P' When Aubrey saw Hubert', face and heard his apologetic "Pardon, sir," he was unmoved, though to he sure he murmured: "Not at all. My fault." Wis}: when he saw Hubert's tie his whoie being was riven by sudden ecstasy. __ - _ " - . The SchoolTie "By Heaven!" he exclaimed. "That tie.' Up Roxton! Up Roman! Up Roxton!" ' Hubert was confused. "Certainiy, sir," he said. "Up Rox-l ton by at! means." "The school."' said Aubrey. l "The schooH” Hubert repeated. l, "To think," said Aubrey, "that on' ‘my second day here in Engiand I ‘should bump against an old Roxtonian. iWait I second! I remember you all iright! I'll swear you were at Roxton when I was. Goddard, isn't it? But, io! course, you're Jimmy Goddard, the istand-off haif, who went to Oxford {and got his blue. Why, man, this is jreat!" - He thrust a hand out and Hubert took it, while he mdds "There's a mistake. y'lmow. You're mixing me up with someone eIs‘e. My name isn't Goddard. It's Jenkins, and I never wont----" .. "Jenkins," Aubrxy repeated, only temporarily dashed. "Well, never mind. The point is that we're both old Roxtonians and that you're the first I've met in years. Come on, if you're not doing anything. I"d take you down to a place where we can correct the luncheon effects. "Jenkins, eh? Well, then, you must, have been there either just before me or just after me. My tuume's Penny- weather. Remember it? You shouid!

Hubert was eaten now. - :ilwddh't," he admitted. "As you any, it must have been just before your time or jug. “fer." ‘V-' "”"' -- iv“ -__'e "Probably before," Aubrey opined.) "You couldn't have forgotten me. Well, we?! shake hands again, I like you, Jenkins; I like you very much. It was a pretty rotten place that schoo'v, but, looking aback--rhnow how iti soa'ie tsiitt wttriryr the tie." "Nothing odd about tnat," Aubrey returned. "You're doing it tom Now I'm at a loose end, for my people don't get back from Scotland till to-morrow night. If you feel like a gentle binge --we'd, let’s get to it." Hubert was a' man of imagination, and his inherent aptitude for living in the high Sights had been repressed by circumstances, so he accepted this op- portunity which his sporting fairies had provided. "Prn on," he nnawered. "The trouble is, though, that Pm down to about my last half-crown till the guv-nor sees reason. He'd see that if I could get hold of him, but he's out of town." "Never ‘mind," said Aubrey. "I haven't got enough on me to buy a bank, but I've got enough to lay streaks of Vermilion paint all the way from Piccadilly Circus tis Hyde Park Corner and back. PII be in the chair to-day, and you can take it some other There many should be an asterisk or two here, to indicate, as they say on theatre programs, the passing of time. Anyway, we should vision Aub- rey and Hubert going arm-in-arm, to. wards midnight, to Mr. Christopher Deane’s fiat in St. James's. We can vision them, too, as in close comradeship and, figuratively speak- ing, with vine-leaves in their, hair; Let no carping tongue say that these two wearers of the Roxtonian ties were intoxicated. They were no more than meilow, and when they wahked into the fltrt and Hubert had "tiafied himself that Mrs. Howard, the elderly cook-housekeeper was in her room and asleep, he produced a bottle of super- ?atively good cognac, and said: "We'll just have one, Pennyweather, and then I'll have to sling you out.

Well, here's howl" "Here's howl" said Aubrey. “I'll tell you what it is, Jenks-you're a credit to Roxton. Absolutely and un- conditionally a credit to Roxton." No sooner had he said that than Hubert wilted. Semi-bemused though he was, he had heard the outer door being unlocked. A second or two later Mr. Christopher Deane, home hours earlier than he had intended, walked into the room. 'quite," said Rupert. “Fancy, 'Hay.o, Jenkins," he started, "what the diekens--" “It's Deane," he announced tremu- lously. "You can say what you like, but it's 02d Chris Deane." Heaven was good to Hubert then, for Aubrey, mouth and eyes wide opbn, and thumped plump hands on Mr. Christopher Deane's shoulders. "Good lord!" Christopher exclaimed. "It's Pennyweather. It's old Penny- weather. Now, what in the name of Mike---" Breaking off, he Iooked at Hubert, and Hubert raised and lowered his eyebrows several times, and nodded towards the door. "Just one second," he managed. "No! Don't say a word, Pennyweath- er. Pm going to tell Mr.--that is Deane, something that he's got to know at once. I didn't expect him so soon. You'll excuse us? Help your- self." Now, Mr. Christopher Deane was a man of large mind, and was assisted through life by a sense of humor. Wt/en he heard the repentant Hu- bert's rapidiy told story, he laughed "A': right, Jenkins. You keep out of sight till I fire Mr. Pennyweather out. He needn't know yet awhile, any- way, that the tie was to blame." an One might stop here, but to do so would be to leave an important thing uisaid. Weeks later Mr. Christopher Deane, in giving Hubert a ten-pound note and a fortnight's holiday, remarked: "They know all about it now, of course, but they've taken it well.
