with sn abundant repast if he would
kindly walk in. The counlryman ac-
knowledged the courtesy of the young
club man by deep obeisance, and, with
look of contempt at the servant, he
passed through the splendid halls into
the cafe in company with the jolly mem

and salad. When he called for his bill
and was told that he had been guest Of
