Jack, ard they walked to the Crown.
Shortly afterWard they passed Collin
son, who WAS going to the stationer's.
He stared hard at Hunston senior and
looked both grieved and puzzled to see
Jack with him.
"He's too proud to speak," remarked
Hunston senior as Collinson went on.
IT'S his loss, however, not mine. by
the way, how's my pup of a brother?
Tell him to come down to Begbie's and
see me-

They entered the Crown, which was
an Old fashioned hostelry of some CON
sequence in the posting days, and had
two glasses of bitter beer in front of

standing by wearing a profusion of
jewelry which did not look real. Near

Jack.

from Birmingham. I'll introduce you"
What are they?"
"Sporting men,"

"Oh, bet on races, get up pigeon
shooting matches, dogfghts and bill
lard matches and all that sort of thing.
They're two summers. say. Bob.
here's a friend of mine anxious to make
your acquaintance, and you, too," he
added. addressing the Brum.
The men shook hands with Jack and
proposed. as it was cold out there, they
should go to the billiard room fire.
Jack followed them. scarcely know
ing whether he was doing right or
wrong in mixing with such peculiar
people, but his suspicious vanished al
most as soon as they were formed.
Suppose we have game of bill
liards?" said Ugly Bob, adding as he
looked at Jack, play, sir?"
Il know a cannon counts two, and
white ball pocketed is also two, and
that anything off the red is three, and

balls about little, but l can't play"
replied Jack.

II thought you said he was sporting

"Ah. but he knows nothing about bill

answered Hunston senior, with sig
nifcant shake Of the head.
The Brum took up Il position near the
board and said he would mark. Jack.
against his will. began to play. The
balls ran very easily and luckily for
him, and by the aid Of a few tukes he
won the game.
Ugly Bob handed him half crown,
saying, You're pretty good for one
who doesn't play"
Hes one too many for you, Bob"
said the Brl!m.
"Ill try him again, Never say die"
