CHAPTER III.
A Plaster s~tatuette.

TITZGERALD'S view. from his club
window afforded the same i'm
personal outlook as from a win
dow in a car. IT. was the two living
currents. moving In opposite directions,
each making toward a similar goal,
only In q million different ways, that
absorbed him. Subconsciously he was
always counting, counting, now by
fves, now by tens, but a bly,
found new entertainment ere he
reached the respectable thrce numerals
OF an even hundred. Sometimes it was
q silk hat which he followed till IT be-
came lost up the avenue; and as often
as not he would single out a waiting
cabman n speculate on the quality
of his fare. and other WITNESSES.
That this was such and such a
woman, or that was such and such "A
man v led him into any of that
gossip so common among clubmen who
are out Of touch with the vital things
of life. Even when he espied a friend
in this mysterious flow OF souls, there
was only a transient flash of recog-
milton In his eyes. When he wasn't in
the tennis courts, or the billiard or
card rooms, he was generally to be
found In this corner. He had seen all
manner Of crowds, armies pursuing
and r~etreating, asst concords in public
squares, at ~coronations. at catastro-
Plies, at play. and he never lost interest
in watching them; they were the great
expressions of humanity. This Is per-
haps the reason why his articles we're
always so rich In color. No two crowds
were ever alike to him. consequently
he never was at loss for a fresh de-
scription.
Today the Italian vender OF plaster
statuettes caught his eye. For an hour
