By the president'^ orders, the train was pulled up at a wayside station, and a wire was sent back to Burketon Falls to put Cue po- lice on the track of any man seen wearing a black, fur-lined over- coat with a sable collar. Then Sir William. In his demo- cratic ^?ay, Btrolled forward to the baggage car to. hunt out another coat from his baggage. As he passed through the tblrd-clasv coach, he saw a man sitting there wearing an overcoat remarkably like tbe one he had lost But the ^collar waa turned up and he could not be sure. He serutinizod tho man carefully and passed off to the end of the car. Then he turned back through tho car and gazed <neaiy into iiVo m^n's (ace. The man fumed trUn^jjed eyes to the president and quic.viy averted his gaze from the piercing | scrutiny. In that glance tbe presi- dent knew htm to be guilty. He leaned over the man and said in a low voice: "Come forward with me to the baggage car." "What for?" asked tbe man ob- stinately. "Because I say you've got to," replied the president, "unless you want a fuss made before the otlivr passengers?" The man cot ^p and followed the president with- ' out another word. The conductor, at a sign from the president, alto followed. "Now," said tho president, Sternly, when the baggage car was reached, "whore did you get that overcoat?" The man looked at hla ques- Uoner sheepishly. 'l don't see that I'm bound to tell you," he answered. He was evidently a laboring man, anl waa overshadowed aiul subdued by the president's man- ner. His face was bronzed and weather-beaten; it was by no means the face of a criminal. He looked like one of the great army of workers who, by labor with pick and shovel and &xe spond their lives in conquering the wil- derness for their fellow-men. With a quick movement the president slipped his fingers Into the breast pocket of the coat and jiulled out a silk handkerchief. On one corner of this were his own Initials. "Do you know to whom that be- > longs?" asked the president, shak- ing the handkerchief threatening- ly ill the man's face. "No." "That handkerchief belongs to me, and that overcoat you've got on belongs to me. Now de you know what I'm going to do with you? I'm going to hand you over to the police at the next station." "Oh, for Qod'i sake, don't do that, slrl" exclaimed the man, al- most In tears. Ha stripped off the overcoat and held It out. "Hero's your overcoat. I didn't mean to steal It I saw It lying on the seat, and I thought some passenger bad got out and for- gotten It Really, sir. I never meant to steal It!" "If you didn't mean to steal It why didn't you hand It to the cou- rduotorf "I thought If I didn't take It somebody else would. I looked on It as a stroke of lacK that's all." "Well, you'll find it a stroke of bad luck for you, my man I" "Get a policeman as toon as we get In- to Bethany Junction," ha said to fthe conductor. "I'll look after this man meanwhile." "My God, slrl don't do HI" pleaded ths man. "It'll drive my poor wlfa craxy. I havein been (Berrtniti frtm Berali Prm OrapkUai ^F this story the late Sir William Van Horoe le the hero, and 1 shall endeavor to reproduce the scenes as ha so cleverly sketched them to me in his home one winter night, tbe while we smoked tbe after-dinner cigar. Picture then a Cbristmaa eve in Toronto, crowds of shoppers abroad In the*l>rilli.iutly illuminated thoroughfares, and Sir William Van Home walking down Yenge Street towards tbe staUon In a magnificent fur-lin9d overcoat with a sable collar. Yes, he was proud of the figure he cat in that coat â€" he admitted It It waa one he bad bought 'within the hour In a Toronto store. He was going back to Montreal and, as often hap- pened In those days, he trav<;,^ed with the passengers instead of in a special car. When he got on tbe train, prior to s^'n^ to tbe smoking-room, be threw off his new coat and threw it jovet tbe back of bis seat There he left it There ends Act I. And there began the troubles of tbe' evening. All alone the C. P. R. presidant's overcoat occu-) pled tbe president's seat Sir William djd not come near It until the train pulled up at ^.urketon JuoctiMi, end then he only gave it a passing glaiice as be rushed through the car. In a hurry to get out and see the 8, Ulon agent t:When he returned the overcoat was gone. Sir WilJiam raised a rumpus. He cross-examined the conducfqr. and calicd In the trainmen. They could give no explanation of the disi appearanOe. Sir William was inconsolable. His beautiful coad was gone â€" the handsomest coat he had ever had! The only <>lua K , «?tt that could hi» discovered was that supplied by a passenger, 'vho said that wheii the train stopped at Burketon Falls he saw a man passing through ihe carriage with a coal on bis arm. "X>id he get off the train?" asked the president "Really. I couldn't say." "What sort of a man was he?" home for six months â€" been rail- "Hvading hack In tho hush. She and the little ones are expecting me for Chrictmas." "Where do you lIveT" • "At Peterborough.". ' • "What's your name?" "Kennedy," "I suppose you've got four or five little ones looking forward .o your coming houie Christmas?" asked the president sarcastically. "Ves, sir." Tears raaie in the man's eyes; a choking sob burst from him. "Shut up. you snivelling cow- ard!" roared the president. To see the man actually In tears angered him beyond measure. The brakes were already grind- ing on the wheels. The man put bis hand on the president's %rm, "Don't do It tir," be tald. "1 don't ask it for myself, but for my wife a^d youngsters. There's no harm done. You've got yo" "oat" rue i<..>n>>.tAA«t shnoi' him oir' roughly. "Tou common thieves," he said â€" and the words cut the laborer like a knife â€" "you common thieves are always afraid to fare the music. You always snivel alwut your 'wife and family at home' when you're found out. But I've made up my mind to stop your little games on this railroad and by Gum, I'll do It?" "Jump out and get a policeman," he said to tbe conductor, as the train came to a standstill. A few minutes afterwards tho conductor returned with a police- man, and the man, silent and de- jected, was marched off into the dark night in custody. When the train started off again for Montreal the president rode In the baggage car. He sat on the top of a pile of boxes, quietly smoking a cigar and dangling his feet His gaze was fixed on a new perambulator, but It waa a long time before he really (aw it When the conductor came In ho nodded toward the perambulator and remarked: "Seasonable pre- sent, eh?" "Yes. sir, n very useful sort of article," replied the conductor. "But what I want to know," re- plied the president, "is why any- body should buy a wheeled baby carriage at this time of the year A man bought that, for sure. A woman would have bought one with runners at this time of the year. "Of course she would." replied the rondu'ctor. "But the man must have had a busy time shop- ping, mustn't he? There's a rock- ing horse In the baby, carriage; there's a toboggan; there's a tur- key, and. ohâ€" donen of things. It'll be a pretty happy Christmas wherever that baby carriage and Us load is going." "Yes, a carriage for tbe new baby, and lots of presents for a pretty healthy little family, by the look of It" The label on the baby-carriage caught the eye of the conductor. He lifted It with his thumb and toreflnger. and bent over to look at it Then he dropped It as though it burned his lingers, nnd turned to the president with something like consternation In his face. "What does it say?" asked the president "Why man. anybody would think 'twas dynamite with n live fuse attached to look at you. What's on the label, any- way f "It aaya 'John Kennedy, Peter- borough.' " "Holy Caesar!" exclaimed tha president, springing to his feet. "Why that's the man who took my overcoatâ€" the man I had arrest- ed!" • "Yes, sir." Tbe president atood for a lone time looking at his olgar. Be re- called .tiie pitiful pleadings of fhe manâ€" bis pale, agonized face, ths unmanly tears. "It'll drive my poor wife craxy," the man bad saJd. "I haven't been home for six months â€" beeu pdl- roading back In the bush. She and tho little 'una have been ex- pertlng me for Christmas." Sir William thought of bis own wife and family in bis luxurious home to Montreal "they were watting for btm this Christmas eve. he knew.' waiting and count- ing up the hours before he would returu. Yet he bad only been away two weeks. As a contrast he pictured some bumble little' home in Peterborough where a iMor woman, who bad not seen her husbxuid for six months, was waiting this Christmas eve for bis arrival. She would have scrubbed up tbe bouse till it looked as clean as a new pin. She would have a dainty meal ready for her bns- 'jMnd and tbe president's imaglaa-;. tion auu«<i thci domestic touch oUai kettle singing- «A the .'ixuv. She> would have put I clean clothes onj tha litUe childrtn, and probably, at this moment, was '.elling them for the bunc*redtb time, "Year, father's comln^r heme!" And the little children! Surely they were' dancing aboat the house had say>| ing. "Daddy 'a coming! Daddy's, coming!" He knew what little' children were! I.Astly canie a stinging thought The baby carri- age was probably meant (or a, new baby that the father had never teen. The president began to repent After all. what had the man done! '. Probably he really thought the , ovcrco.it was lost, and had picked ' it up just the same as a man misht pick up a ten-dollar bill on the floor of a hotel, feeling he might as well have It as anybody else. When the train got to the next station. Sir William jumped out and walked into the little station house. "Give me that key," he said to the astonished operator. The president had been an operator In bis early days, he at once sat down at the telegraph Instrument anil gave the call for Bethany Junction. When he got through to that place he sent a message that considerably surprised the operator at the other end. "Get ICannedy, the man arrested this eveatng, released Immediately. Ills arrest a regrettable mistake. Get out an engine and one car and immediately run a special through to Peterborough. Kennedy must get there tcvnigbt." "By whose ordersr aaked the operator at tbe other end. "By order of the president, William Van Home," wac the re- ply. At Peterborough station that night a woman named Kennedy, with a baby In her arms, and thresi or four little ones flocking around her, was considerably astonished to hear an Important looMng gen- tleman, who stepped from the. train on which she had expeeteA' her husband, tnqnlrlng (or her by name. "Is Mrs. Kennedy here?" roared Sir William. "Yes, sir," aaid the woman tim- idly." I'm Mr». Kennedy." "Your huabaad ia comlag alone on the next train," said Sir WU« Ham.
