You must bear in mind that tdl the sleep I had secured whs a broken, uneasy slumber on the journey from Dover to London, and when I went to sleep in my chair, after stirring the lire into a blaze, I slept very soundly very soundly, that is, for awhile, for it was still dark when I woke up in a sud den nnd startling W'ay.

Only "apparently'' however. When I got out of the cab at my own door, I could 11 ii 1 no loose change to pay the the driver, yet I had some when I took tha' train at Dover; my well furnishe I pocket-book, though thai, too, 1 had at Dover, was gone as well ; ami my watch and chain h id followed suit.
