such an instance might be quoted. Gren-

by accident, that particular morning.

And while Grenville Rose crosses the
Temple Gardens, let me say few words
about George Dallison. He comes athwart
the loves of Granville and Maude but for
few days. Yet he is destined to be the
master Of the situation of that eventful
period. George Dallison Is barrister
| some two or three years senior to Rose.
He has a fair income Of his own. and has
betaken himself to the elucidation of the
mysteries of the turf. Rather below the
middle height, with large liquid hazel
eyes. slight almost effeminate figure,
feet and hands that would be no disgrace
to a woman, and soft voice, nothing
could be more deceptive In appearance
than Silky Dallison. His low, languid
tones and caressing manner had earned
him that sobriquet at college. 1t had
stuck to him ever since. Destitute
of whlsker, slight soft brown
moustache just shading his upper lip
1.-the supple, almost girlsh In APP
pearance-such was George Dallison.
Few men Of his age rode straighter and
steadier over country than he while
Tattersall's had arrived at the conclusion
that, though he might look young, nobody
threw his money away much less than
Silky Dallison When, in his languid
manner, he was willing to take thousand
to thirty about any horses chance, it had
a chance--a good deal more than, as a
rule, ,cap be predicated Of the animals
about which such very long odds are to be
obtained.
Come in" was the response to Roses
sharp knock, and Dallison was discovered
placidly consuming French novel In the
easiest of armchairs. No greater syba-
rite perhaps ever existed; yet on New
market Heath, he would wait the day
through wind and sleet, to back the good
thing" he had journeyed from London
sexpressly for, and return to town with
out a murmur, il such had turned out the
delusive phantom too usual on such occa-
sions.
"Oh. Grenyillc, charmed to see you
Take a chair and talk. It's not a bad
novel" he observed, as he threw the yell
low colored volume on the table, "but
I've had more than enough of 1t, and my
self for the present News All, Gren,
IL you have any, unfold thy short, and,
trust, moving tale
'sThanks / want to talk to you a bit
on business-reason I'm here" said Rose
"Shouldn't come to you on a point OF
law, Silky but this happens to be BIT
of racing"
-"You racing! What do you mean?"
"Have you seen old Pearman's death
in the paper?"
yes" rejoined Dallison. you're
thinking Of CoriAnder-makesn no differ
ence. you know-horse entered In the sons
name.'
Suppose, Silky, could show you that
that horse couldn't start without my con
sent, or something like itl'
Come, old fellow, no CANNON. I'm
on him for the Derby, and am only wait
ing TO hedge my money till he's won the
Two Thousand"
Look here. Dallison; l know nothing
about the turf, and have come to you to
manage a great game between young Pear
man and myself VIII you do so? OF
course you can take care of yourself In
the transaction. l can tell you nothing
for certain as yet Will you manage the
turf part Of the business while l work
the legal machinery AS my Idea of the
case stands at present l tell you fairly
l think Coriander's starting for the
Guineas will be at the option of myself
and clients but 1 may be mistaken"

thenT' said Silky Dallison.
|, Certainly not. l know nothing about
The turf, but IL l am right In my coujec
tura, the management Of Coriander in the
market will be, for the benefit OF my eli
