sort Of thing as freely as he.
He set his glass on the table thought

his lean cheeks.
Ferrall, too, suddenly uncomfortable,
stood up, saying something about
dressing. Several men arose trifie
stif1y, feeling in every joint the result
Of the first days shooting after all
those idle months. Mortimer got up,
with an unfeigned groan. Siward fol-
lowed, leaving his glass untouched.

Siward continued not to offer his hand.
Major Belwether meant to have it,
bless your heart, and he fused and

secured it in his plump white fingers
and pressed it efrusively.
There was something about his soft
warm hands which had always re-
minded Siward OF the temperature and
texture OF a newly Matched bird. 1t
had been some time since he had
shaken hands with Major Belwether.
1t was apparent that the bird had not
aged any.
Slipping his arm through the pivot
sleeve of Lord Alderdene's shooting
Jacket, hooking the other in Siward's
reluctant elbow and driving Mortimer
ahead OF him, Major Belwether went
garrulously away up the stairs, his
lordship's handy little legs trotting be-
side him, the soaking CATERS and shoes
stopping at every step.
Siward turned off down his CORR
dor, unaware that the Sycamore pup
was following close at his heels until
he heard Quarters even, colorless

enough to send Sycamore to your ken

he caught sight of Siward. He finish

His squirting lordship declined and
took an easier position in his chair, ex

dustriously distending his skin with
whisky, reached for the decanter. The

Siward, and he instinctively nodded
his desire to a servant.

observed to Ferrall. Then something

Lingering frresOlutely. considering
