And there was no more questioning
on that ride; there was not even casual
talk, such as a mistress might make
to her servant. There was only the
clock, clock of hoofs and the clink of
bit metal. Warburton did not know
whether he was glad or sorry.
She dismounted without her groom

pointed that worthy gentleman. If
she was angry, to his eye there was
no visible evidence Of it. AS he took

THE FIRST RIDE.

Inc next morning WarburtOn was
shown into a neat six-by eight, Just
off the carriage-room. There was a
cot, running water and a washstand,
and boot-blacking apparatus. For
the rest there were few portraits of
fast horses, fighters, and toe-dancers
(the adjective qualifying all three!)
which the senator's sporting groom
had collected and tackled to the walls.
For appearances sake, Mr.. James had
purchased cheap trunk. Everything
inside was new, too. His silver mill
tary brushes, his silver shaving set,
and SO forth and SO forth, were in
charge of safe-deposit storage COM
pany, alongside some ones family
Jewels. The only discriminating things
he retained were his signet-ring and
his Swiss timepiece.

asked William, the stable-boy.

"Cussing?" repeated Warburton.
Yes, sir. Miss Annesley won't
stand for it around the stables. The
man before you, sir, could cuss most
beautifully; and think that's why he
was fred. At least, it was one reason. I"
Warburton smoothed his twitchine
