about to engage. And now another
world had him in Its grip. He ficked
the mare with. his whip, turned away
from the inn, and galloped up to the
station, keeping pace with the train
whose whistle he had heard. Standing
outside was local horse dealer of his
acquaintance.
"Take the mare back for me to Peak

The man assented with pleasure-it

a carriage, and flung himself into u

to be an absolute vortex of human be-

together very much in the same note,
all criticizing every fresh group of ar
rivals with very much the same eyes
and manner. The palm court was
crowded with little parties seated at
the various round tables, partaking
languidly Of the most indolent meal of
the day. Even the broad passageway
was full Of men and women, standing
about and talking or looking for tables.
One could scarcely hear the music of
the orchestra for the babel of voices.
