selves, had looked sharply about him,
with his gaze in the air.
81 know this part of London pretty
well" Hewitt observed, land j can only
remember one other range of stabling
near by; we must try that. As matter
of fact, I'm coming here on little more
than conjecture, though | shall be sur
prised IL there s'nt something in it. Do
you know anything of aphasia?"
~ have heard of 1t, Of course though
can't say / remember ever knowing of
q case. ~
81 have seen one today very curious
case. The mans Frenchman, discovered
helpless in the street by a policeman.
The only thing that he can say that has
any meaning in it at all is 'Je la ME, and
that he says mechanically, without in the
least knowing what he is saying. And
he can't write. But he got sketching
and scrawling various things on some
paper, and his scrawls, together with an
other thing or two, have given me an
idea. We're following it up now. When
we are less busy, and in quiet place,
will show you the sketches aud explain
things generally; there's no time now,
and / may want your help for bit, in
which case ignorance may prevent YOU
spelling things, you clumsy rufIan.
Hullol here we are, l think.
We had stopped at the end of another
FltDlt luIu. ludn lnt IlfNt.
The stables were sound but inelegant
sheds, and one or two appeared to be de-
voted TO other purposes, having low
chimneys, on one OF which an old basket
was rakishly set by way of cowl. Be
side the entrance a worn-out old board
was nailed, with the legend, "Stabling
to Let,n in letters formerly white. on
a ground formerly black.
"Come," said Hewitt, Gwen explore" "
We picked our way over the grassy cob
blestones and looked about us. On the
left was the wall inclosing certain back
yards, and on the right the stables. Two
doors in the middle OF these were open,
and butchers young man, who, with
his shiny bullet head, would have been
known for butchers young man any
where, was wiping over the new-washed
wheel OF n smart Butchers cart.
"Good day." Hewitt said pleasantly to
the young man. ~ notice there's some
stabling to let here. Now, where should
/ inquire about it?"
"Jones, Whitfield street, a" the young
man answered, giving the wheel a final
spin. "But there's only one little place
TO let now, think, and 1t amt very
grand"
"ohl Which is that?"
"Next but one to the street there. A
chap 'ad 1t for wood chopin, but e
chucked II. There amt room for more'n
" uOnkeN HI DhTTOWs
"Ah, that's pity. We're not particu-
lar, but want something big enough, and
we don't mind paying fair price. Per-
haps we might make arrangements with
somebody here who has n stable.n
The young man shook his head. az
shouldn't think So" he said doubtfully;
they're mostly shop people as wants
all the room themselves. My guv'n
couldn't do nothink, / know. These
ere two stables amt Scarcely enouVh for
oil e wants as IL Is. Then there's Bar
kett, the greengrocer ere, next door.
That amt no good. Then next 20 that
there's the little place as IL Is TO let, and
at the end there's Grifiith's at the butter
shop"
"And those the other way2'
"Well, this ere first ones Curtis,
Euston road-thats a butter shop, too,
an e 'as the neNt after that. The last
one, up at the end-I dunno quite whoses
that Is. IL amt been long took, but |
believe it's sAzne foreiGn bakara- amt
