Well I did, for Mr. Champien, it appeared, had left something nt the hotel In Langton where he had stnyed overnight, and he stepped the car te fetch it, and I wns left outside alone. Langton was only n small, straggling sort of town, but the Albcrrys always fpoke of it as if.it were of grout im portance, and I was thinking hew enor mous Londen would eccm by contrast, when I heard the clop-clop of a horse's hoofs, nnd half turning in the seat 1 saw Mark Andersen riding up the read behind me. He did net sec me till he came abreast with the car, when he casually turned his head nnd our eyes met. I was as pale bb a ghost, I knew, and I saw the bl6ed rush te his fare as his hand went involuntarily te his hat; but I gave no acknowledgment, nnd the next moment he had passed en.
