There is always some one ready to exercise your horses, if they happen to be showy ones He looked again at the rider; the flash of the eyes was not repeated; so his interest vanished. and he urged the mare into a sharp run.

His hair was white; there was now no black beard on his face which was as brown and creased as Spanish levant; and some of the full ness was gone from his chest and arms; but for all that he carried his fifty odd years lightly. He worked swiftly tonight, but his mind was far away from his task.
 There was a pitiful story, common place enough. A daughter, a loose living officer, a knife flung from a dark alley, and sudden flight to the south.

At length he came back to the entrance and surrendered the mare. He was about to cross the square, when he was hailed.
