"I brought the infant down from the chamber in the extension, and youtook him from me and thanked me somewhat much. You remember this?You said you would lose your place if the infant had been burned."

"Ah, then you are the youthful gentleman so brave who save the babeefrom being burn? Ah, yes, that was fairly brave. The ladee give youthe reward, yes? That was fairly good."

"Yes, but what about the watch? You need not be afraid. Theowner has been found."

"An, yes, and you find the watch in your pocket? That is fairly droll!"and the girl began to laugh.

"Yes, it was somewhat funny," exclaimed Jack, "but how did it get there?"

"I put it there, me, myself. I am afraid to carry so fine a watchand I wish to get rid of him. When you give me the infant and aretangle in the blanket I put him in your pocket."
