Mr. Baysrd, had he Lived in Bnsland,

with seat In Parliament. The cpsn. ali

bigger the fence. or the dsspsr tue ditch
the better he wOuld have liked il. II he

riding at eGse il his o.ryisge. Mr.,
Arthur was nightly impressed by lhs

that would ever tempt Mr.. Bsysrd Il

when two or three years ago he acted a.
one Of the judges in great race, and the
pace 1ss hot and the race close, and the
thousands there wsrs shouting and
following the horses like mad, the
eenaior's intellectual face turned shade
pIler, but otherwise showed nc emotion
though he afterwArd said that he felt as
