whole atmosphere In which these poor-rich people live
Is unhealthful.
This fashionable increase of living expenses adds to
a necessary increase of expenses even of men who object
to it, for the whole community tends to adjust itself to
the highest pitch possible. Rents go up; servants wages
increase; professional fees are higher; larger tips must
be given; the good restaurants raise their prices. The
man who wishes to lead a simple and inexpensive life
finds it harder. The whole community is corrupted
from the financial top. City life becomes a sort of in
tricate but most comprehensive and offensive robbery;
and to avoid all these useless taxes a modest man who
would hold fast to his economic character must put him
self to much trouble and run the risk of being regarded
as eccentric.-WorId's Work.

CHAPTER XXI,

We must now revert to what Mrs.
Hudson did upon receipt of her telegram
as harmless, apparently, as "the pork
chops and tomato sauce of Pickwick's
immortal history. Yet even in that case
great events from trivial causes sprang."
That lady is destined to be as much dis
turbed in a monetary point of view as
Mrs. Bardell: but infinitely more to her
own advantage.
Mrs. Hudson was lounging pleasantly
enough in an armchair, reading the dur
nal literature of her country in that
abode of comfort, bliss, and intelligence,
yclept Paper Buildings, when that most
domestic of kilograms reached her. That
she was attired in a morning coat, neat
trousers, unimpeachable boots, and had a
cigar in her mouth, will scarcely astonish
the reader, who has probably already sur
missed that Silky Dallison represented that
lady.
"Ah" he exclaimed, after reading the
message, what a cross it looks like. But
l must be off at once to see Plyart. Twen-
ty minute to three just catch him before
he goes down to TattersalFs." Mr.. DALI
son was a man Of decision he was into a
hanson and at the door Of the Victoria
Club in something less thar ten minutes.
His conference with the bookmaker was
short, and then they separated, both to
make their way to the great Turf Ex-
change at Knightsbridge.
The remarkable feature of the betting
on the Two Thousand that afternoon
was the extraordinary advance of Corr
ander. From very long odds offered
against him, he rose in the course of the
day to be once more first ~favorite: reach
ing very nearly to his original price of
ten days back. From the opening of the
rooms Dallison was very eager in his
offers to back the horse, while it might
have been also noticed that Mr.. Plyart
accepted the long odds against C~oriander.
Just to cover himself" as he said, "hay-
ing laid rather heavily against him" But
1t quickly permeates through the Sub
scription Room that the horse is being
backed in earnest, and when, about half
past four, Pearman's accredited agent
began also to put money on the horse, the
excitement became intense.

like their brethren Of the eastern ex-
change, with all their acuteness are mar

Thu leaders at both places can increase
or depreciate property pretty much at
their pleasure. As there is, of course,
money to be made by such fluctuations,
1t can scarcely be wondered at that they
do It But why should the one be deem

"Thank you keep a place for me by

see his horses.
It was a very simple message, but the
owner of Coriander had been quite long
enough on the turf to know that a, tele-
gram may represent anything but what
it appears to say. 1t disquieted him
much. He wished that he had driven
straight to the station instead of home to
Mannersley; he might have written his
letters there, and his own telegram
would have been off much sooner. In
the meanwhile here he was at the pad
docks.
"Well, MARTINI he inquired, as his
trainer came out to meet him; now are
they all going on"
well as can be, sir. Coriander did
two nice canters and a good mile and a
quarter gallop, to wind up with, this

After a heightened conference with his
trainer. Pearman returned to the station.
Grenville Rose was a fellow traveller with
him and they even occupied the same car
riage, but beyond a few words of recogni-
ton, no conversation passed between
them.
Upon entering the Theatine, the first
thing Pearman saw in the hall, on cast
ing his eye at the notice-board containing
the latest news, was that Coriander was
once more first ~favorite for the Two
Thousand, at seven to two. taken freely.

And l believe that telegram and Rose
