''Tha doesn't mind MA smoaking, do

of doubtful aspect.

this would keep his companion quiet.

said the Yorkshirenan, who WAS gener-
ously disposed.
Thanks, no." said Fenton "1'm
not much of smoker"
THAT'S rect A young Teller should
reserve his strength SO as he can enjoy
his smoak when his trouble comes. -
And pleased with this philosophic serti-
ment the old fellow pulled away at his
rank cigar.
There was pause Of a few minutes,
and Fenton hoped his companion was
now fully engrossed with his cigar and
his troubles. But he was mistaken. The
hearty voice went on:
eyes, I've been up to Lunnon on biz
ness-very pertikeler bizness. AhIl tell
ye all about it, as ye seem interested.
And he did tell, and his voice huzzed
in Fenton's ear in harmony with the
rattling of the wheels and the roar of
the train
On, Oh the voice went, with never
ending energy, but Fenton's thoughts
were elsewhere. He was wet through to
the skin, be was shivering with cold,
he was utterly miserable both in mind
and body. Was there in all London that
night more wretched man than be?
The thought was simply overwhelming
that he, George FeEton, was fugitive
that he would be wanted by the po-
lice on the morrow for the murder of
woman. A cold sweat stood upon his
brow and an involuntary groan broke
from his lips.
Even the self absorbed Yorkshireman
noticed his companions distress and
broke off his epic in com passion.

but gimcracks like them, as wouldn't

Fenton thanked him warmly and was
glad enough to don the proffered arti.
Gle. He buried his chin deep in the Ca
pacious collar and pretended to sleep.
The cigar had now gone out, and the
smoker was yawning. In another ten
minutes resounding shores proclaimed
his reception in the arms of Morpheus:
In vain did Fenton try to follow his
companion into oblivion. Sleep refused
to come. For a few minutes he : fell
into titful slumber, but his brain re-:
fused to rest. Again he stood over the
