Said Hapgood>that garrulous
Hapgood, solicitor, who first in
this book spoke of Sabre to a
mutual friend-said Hapgood, seated
/ in the comfortable study Of his fat,
to that same friend, staying the
night:
Well, now, old man, about Sabre.
Well, ! tell you it's a funny business
"a dashed funny business, the posi-
ton old Puzzlehead Sabre has got
himself into.
Look here, this is April, April,
1913. Well, old Sabre got knocked
out in France just about five months
ago, back in November. He COPIED
it twice shoulder and knee. Shoul-
der nothing much; knee pretty bad.
Thought they'd have to take his leg
off one time. Thought better Of ii,
thanks be; patched him up; dis
charged him from the army; and
sent him home-very groggy, only
just able to put the bad leg to the
ground, crutches, and going to be d
stick and bit of limp all his life.
Very well. That's as he was when
| first saw him again. That was back
in February. Early in February,
two months ago. There was good
old me down in Tidborough on bust
ness-and remembering about old
Sabre having been wounded and dis
charged, blew into Fortune, East and
Sabre's for news of him.
"Of course, he wasn't there. Saw
old Fortune and the man Twynihg,
and found them in regard to Sabre
about as genial and communicative
as maiden aunt over a married
sisters new dress. Sort of handed
out the impression that ned been out
of the business so long that really
they weren't much in touch with his
doings. Rather rotten, ! thought it,
seeing that the pocr beggar had
done his bit in the war aud done it
pretty thoroughly, too.
well, hoped it over on the rail
way and walked down to old Sabre's
Found him bit down the road from
his house trying out this game leg
ef his. BY Jove, he was no end
bucked to see me. tAnd talk He
simply jabbered. | said, BY Joye.
Sabre, one would think you hadn't
met anyone for a month the way
you're unbelting the sacred rites Of
welcome. He laughed and said,
We'll, you see, I'm a bit tied to a
post with this leg of mine.
II.
Well, old Sabre took me into d
room on the ground floor where
they'd put up a bed for him, him not
being able to do the stars, Of course.
We'll, as | say, old man, | always
rather liked his wife. always
rather-liked-her. But somehow, as
we went on through lunch, and then
on after that. didn't ike her quite

It would have been uncommonly
jolly to have had Bright Effie as
companion on the walks, and once
or twice he did. But Mabel showed
very clearly that this was very far
from having her approval and on the
second occasion said so. There was
the slightest possible little tiff about
it; and thenceforward-th subject
having been opened-there were fire.

arising always out of his doing what
Mabel called forever sticking up for

how much they annoyed Mabel, he

But Mabel-what will her people
think?
I'm sure l don't care what they

the precious girl, I'll tell her mother

to know nothing about it, went for

turned Effie was gone. He said
nothing. Her name was not again
mentioned between him and Mabel.
