Yet it was hard to account for a terror no abject. There was certainly nothing in the figure, now close at hand, which Heemed capable of inspiring it. - It was a man with a club foot-- nothing more nor loss. In fact, " was Mr. Sabin! There was nothing about his appearance, save that ungainly movement caused by his deformity, in any way singular or threatening. He came. steadily nearer, and the woman who awaited him trembled. Perhaps his expression was a trifle sardonic. owing chiefly to tin.- extreme pullor of his skin, and tho black flannel clothos with invisible stripe, which he had been wearing tor golf. Yet when he lifted his soft felt hat from his head and bowvd with an ease and et- fect palpably acquired in other coun- tries, his appearance was tar trom un- pleasant. He stood there bare-headed in the twilight, " strangely winning smile upon his dark Taco, and his head courteous” bout. "The most delightful of unexpected meetings," he murmured.
