What the--what the dickens is this ?" Sir Henry, who had been strolling about the room, picked up a Homburg hat from the far side of a table of curios.

Philippa glanced up at his exclamation.
"That's Nora's trophy," she explained.

"I told her to take it up to her own room, but she's always wanting to show it to her friends." "Nora's trophy ?" Sir Henry repeated.

"Why, it's nothing but an ordinary man's hat." "Nevertheless, it's a very travelled one, sir," Harrison pointed out.
"Miss Nora picked it up on Dutchman's Common, the morning after the observation car was found there." Sir Henry held out the hat.
"But Nora doesn't seriously suppose that the Germans come over in this sort of headgear, does she ?" he demanded.
"If you'll just look inside the lining, sir," Sinclair suggested.
Sir Henry turned it up and whistled softly.

"By Jove, it's a German hat, all right!" he exclaimed.
