I agreed at once and retired to the

was an ample choice of distraction for

And he hopped ont I yawned, open

hastily, by reason of the extraordinary

Then I went prospecting Into the pas

bar. Here I passed a sort of ticket of
fice window, at which a middle aged
lady sat, eating winkles from a plate
with the aid of a hairpin. Her face
lighted up with sudden Interest as she
saw me.
“Oo!" she cried with spirit “Er you

Again I pleaded guilty, and with a

Apart from consideration of her oc-

could not stand gazing at this lady,

from the concordance room—the pri

young lady in attendance here, who
smiled upon me so sweetly that I felt
constrained to order a‘lemon squash.
While I pondered, with one hand on

opened conversation brightly.
