our lives. There Is a large and we'll
known SPECTATOR on the turf at this tim'
Ia man. doubtless, worth many ingots
and much stock and security-whoss
money making career dates from the pre-
sentation Of a case Of razors, according tc
popular report. Who can say? Many
such an instance might be quoted. Gren'
vile Roses life turned on reading the
supplement Of the Times. il may be said
BY accident. thar particular morning.
/ fancy no human being ever saw that
generally light-hearted harrister thinking
SO hard as he was upon this occasion. He
has won many good cause since, but

licitor to draw up the brief mind"
"Ahr r he said at last. Il can almost

right wonder how It would affect
things? I must SO over and talk to DALI
son bit"
And while Granville Rose crosses the
Temple Gardens, let me say few words
about George Dallison. He comes athwart
the loves of Granville and Mande but for
q few days Yet he Is destined to be the
master OF the situation Of that eventful
period George Dallison is a barrister
some two or three years senior to Rose.
He has q fair income Of his own. and has
betaken himself to the calculation OF the
mysteries of the turf Rather below the
middle height, with large liquid hazel
eyes, a slight almost effemfnats figure,
feet and hands that would be no disgrace
to a woman. and a soft voice, nothing
could be more deceptive in appearance
than Silky Dallison. His low. languid
tones and caressing manner had earned
him that sobriquet st college. Ii had
stuck to him ever since. Destitute
Of whisker, a slight soft brown
moustache just shading his upper lip;
1.-THE. supple. almost girlish in APP
pearance-such was George DalIison.
Few men OF bis age rode straighter and
steadier over a country than he; while
TattersalPs 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. be was willing TO take a thousand
to thirty about any horses chance, it had
a Chance good deal more than, as
rule, can 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 DalIis0n was discovered
placidly consuming a French novel in the
easiest Of armchairs- Noe 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
expressly for. and return to town with
out q murmur, If such had turned out the
deiusive phantom too usual on such occa-
sions-
"Oh, Granville, charmed to 1see you
Take q chair and talk. It's not a bad |
novel; he observed, as be threw the yel |
low colored volume on the table: '.but !.
