Significant but apparently trivial
differences of taste have suggested
to
ARK SABRE that he and his wife
fail to understand one an
other. After eight years of mar
ried life he knows that his de
lights in poetry, in whimsical hu
mor and in democratic ideals are
not shared by the prosaic and
snobbish Mabel.
Sabre has a comfortable position
in the firm of Fortune, East and
Sabre, a church and school supply
house. The firm n» dominated by
Rev. Sebastian Fortune, chief share
holder.
GO ON WITH THE STORY.
111.
Sabre had been promised full part
nership by Mr. Fortune. He desired
it very greatly. The apportionment
of duties in the establishment was
that Sabre managed the publishing
department. Twyning supervised the
factory and workshops wherein the
ecclesiastical and scholastic furni
ture was produced, and Fortune
supervised his two principals and
every least employe and smallest
detail of all the business.
In 1912 Sabre felt that he had now
brought the publishing into line with
the established departments. He had
emphasized the firm’s reputation in
this activity by the considerable sue'
cess that attended two text books
bearing (one in collaboration) his
own name. “Sabre and Owen’s Ele
, mentary Mathematics” and Sabre’s
Modern History.”
I The tributes with which this slim
history primer of one hundred and
I fifty pages for eighteen pence had
been greeted inspired Sabre towards
a much bolder work, on whcih the
early summer of 1912 saw him be
! ginning and into which he found
I himself able to pour in surprising
volume scoughts and feelings which
he had scarcely known to be his
until the pen and the paper began to
attract them. The title he had con
ceived alone stirred them in his mind
and drew them from it as a magnet

Mabel called Sabre’s school text
books “those lesson books.” After
she had thus referred to them two or
three times he gave up trying to in
terest her in them. The expression
hurt him, but when he thought upon
it' he reasoned with himself that he
had no cause to be hurt.
Later he never mentioned “Eng
land” to her. But he most desper
ately wanted to talk about it to
someone.
He was not actively aware of it,
but what, in those years, he came to
crave for as a starved child craves
food was sympathy of mind.
He found it, in Penny Green, with
what Mabel called “the most extraor
dinary people.” “What you can
find in that Mr. Fargus and that
young Perch and his everlasting
mother,” she used to say, “I simply
cannot imagine.”
11.
Mr. Fargus, who lives next door
down the Green, was a gray little
man with gray whiskers and always
in a gray suit. He had a large and
very red wife and six thin and rather
yellowish daughters.
And there were the Perches—
“ Young Perch and that everlasting
old mother of his,” as Mabel called
them.
Sabre always spoke of them as
“Young Rod, Pole or Perch,” and
“Old Mrs. Rod, Pole or Perch.” This
was out of what Mabel called his
childish and incomprehensible habit
of giving nicknames —High Jinks and
Low Jinks the outstanding and
never-forgotten example t>f it.
Mrs. Perch was a fragile little body
whose life should have been and
could have been divided between her
bed and a bathchair.
She was intensely weak-sighted, but
she never could find her glasses;
and she kept locked every
thing that would lock, but she never
could find her keys. : She held off
all acquaintances by the rigid handle
of “that” before their names, but she
was very fond of “that Mr. Sabre,”
and Sabre returned a great affection
for her.
Young Perch was a tall and slight
young man with a happy laugh and
an air which suggested to Sabre,
after puzzlement, that his spirit was
only alighted in his body as a bird
alights and swings upon a twig, not
engrossed in his body.
Sabre was extraordinarily attract
ed by the devotion between the pair.
Their interests, their habits, their
thoughts were as widely sundered
as their years, yet each was wholly
and completely bound up in the
other. When Sabre sat and talked
with Young Perch of an evening, old
Mrs. Perch would sit with them, next
her son, in an armchinr asleep. At
intervals she would start awake and
say querulously, “Now I suppose I
must he driven off to bed.”
Young Perch, not pausing in
what he might be saying, would
stretch a hand and lay it on his
mother’s. Mrs. Pej-ch, as though
Freddie's hand touched away enor
mous weariness end care, would sigh
restfully and sleep again
It gave Sabre extraordinary sensa
tions.
If he had been asked to name his
particular friends these were the
friends he would have named. He
saw them constantly. Infrequently
he saw another. Quite suddenly she
came back into his life.
1 Nona returned into his life.

CHAPTER I.
I.
Sabre, ambling his bicycle along
the pleasant lanes toward Tid
borough one fine morning in the
darly summer of 1912, was met in his
thoughts by observation, as he
topped a rise, of the galloping prog
ress of the light railway that was to
link up the Penny Green Garden
Home with Tidborough and Chovens
bury.
Here was a subject that interested
him and that intensely/interested
Mabel, and yet it could never be men
tioned between them without . . .
Only that very ifiorning at breakfast
. . . And June —he always remem
bered it—was the anniversary month
of their wedding . . . Eight years
ago . . . Eight years . . .
II
A general shouting and the clatter
of agitated hoofs jerked Sabre from
his thoughts.
“Hullo! Hi! Help! Out collision
mats. Stop the cab’. Look out,
Sabre! Sabre!”
He suddenly became aware—and
he jammed on his brakes and dis
mounted by straddling a leg to the
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
ground—that in the narrow lane he
was between two plunging horses.
Their riders had divided to make way
for his bemused approach.
On one side the lane was banked
steeply up in a cutting. The horse
of the rider on this side stood on its
hind legs and appeared to be per
foiming a series of postman’s double
knocks on the bank with its forelegs.
Lord Tybar, who bestrode it, and
who did not‘seem to be at all con-
Her horse tossed its head “shall
we come down now?” she said,
cerned by his horse copying a post
man, looked over his shoulder at
Sabre, showing an amused grin, and
■■aid, “Thanks, Sabre. This is jolly.
I like this. Come on, old girl. This
way down. Keep passing on, please.”
“Ass!” laughed a voice above
them; and Sabre, who had almost for
gotten there was another horse when
he had abruptly wakened and dis
mounted, looked up at it.
The other horse was standing with
complete and entirely unconcerned
statuesqueness on the low bank
which bounded the lane on his other
side. Lady Tybar had taken it—or it
had taken Lady Tybar—out of dan
ger in a sidpways bound, and horse
and rider remained precisely where
the sideways bound had taken them
as if it were exactly where they, had
intended to go ‘all that morning, and
as if they were now settled there for
all time as a living equestrian statue
—a singularly striking and beautiful
state.
“We are here,” said Lady Tybar.
Her voice had a very clear, fine note.
“We are rather beautiful up here,
don’t you think? Rather darlings?
No one takes the faintest notice of
us; we might be off the earth. But
we don’t mind a bit. Hullo,
Derry and Toms, Marko is actually
taking off his hat to us. Bow, Derry.”
Her horse, as if he perfectly under
stood, tossed his head, and she drew
attention to it with a deprecatory
little gesture of her hand and then
said, “Shall we come down now? All
right. We’ll descend. This is us de
scending. Lady Tybar, who is a
superb horsewoman, descending a
precipice on her beautiful half-bred

Derry and Toms stepped down off
the bank with complete assurance
and superb dignity. With equal pre- '
vision, moving his feet as though i
there were marked for them certain i
exact spots which he covered with I
infinite lightness and exactitude, he .

them. The mare continued to quiver |
her beautiful nostrils at him; every |

virile ami graceful beauty he could
ever have imagined.
