And while Granville Rose crosses the
Temple Gardens, let me say a 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 efeminate 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 at college. 1t had
stuck to him ever since. Destitute
of whisker, slight soft brown
moustache just shading his upper lip;
1.-the, supple, almost girlish in APP
pearance-such was George Dallison,
Few men of his age rode straighter and
steadier over country than he; while
Tattersalrs 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
chance-a good deal more than, as Is
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 Dallison was discovered
placidly consuming a 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
expressly for and return to town with
ont a murmur, if such had turned out the
delusive nhantom too usual on such occa-
sions.
"Oh, Granville, charmed to see you !!
Take chair and talk. It's not a bad
novel," he observed, as he threw the vel
low colored volume on the table; but
I've had more than enough of 1t, ana my
self for the present. News An Hren,

"Thanks! | want to talk to you DIT

Won racing! What do you mean?
"IIave YOU seen old Pearman's death
