MR. MULLINER put away the letter he had been reading, and beamed contentedly on the little group in the bar-parlor of the Anglers' Rest.

"Most gratifying," he murmured.

"Good news?" we asked.

"Excellent," said Mr. Mulliner. "The letter was from my nephew Eustace, who is attached to our Embassy in Switzerland. He had fully justified the family's hopes."

"Doing well, is he?"

"Capitally," said Mr. Mulliner.

He chuckled reflectively.

"Odd," he said, "now that the young fellow has made so signal a success, to think what a business we had getting him to undertake the job. At one time it seemed as if it would be hopeless to try to persuade him. Indeed, if Fate had not taken a hand..."

"Didn't he want to become attached to the Embassy?"

"The idea revolted him. Here was this splendid opening, dangled before his eyes through the influence of his godfather, Lord Knubble of Knopp, and he stoutly refused to avail himself of it. He wanted to stay in London, he said. He liked London, he insisted, and he jolly well wasn't going to stir from the good old place.
