"
She
was
frightened
by
the
earnestness
of
his
manner
and
ran
past
him
to
the
window
through
which
she
was
accustomed
to
hand
the
meals
.
It
was
already
opened
,
and
Hunter
was
seated
at
the
small
table
inside
.
She
had
begun
to
tell
him
of
what
had
happened
when
the
stranger
came
up
again
.
32
"
Good-evening
,
"
said
he
,
looking
through
the
window
.
'
I
wanted
to
have
a
word
with
you
.
"
The
girl
has
sworn
that
as
he
spoke
she
noticed
the
corner
of
the
little
paper
packet
protruding
from
his
closed
hand
.
33
"
What
business
have
you
here
?
"
asked
the
lad
.

"
It
's
business
that
may
put
something
into
your
pocket
.
"
said
the
other
.
'
You
've
two
horses
in
for
the
Wessex
Cup
--
Silver
Blaze
and
Bayard
.
Let
me
have
the
straight
tip
and
you
wo
n't
be
a
loser
.
Is
it
a
fact
that
at
the
weights
Bayard
could
give
the
other
a
hundred
yards
in
five
furlongs
,
and
that
the
stable
have
put
their
money
on
him
?
'
35
"
So
,
you
're
one
of
those
damned
touts
!
"
cried
the
lad
.
'
I
'll
show
you
how
we
serve
them
in
King
's
Pyland
.
"
He
sprang
up
and
rushed
across
the
stable
to
unloose
the
dog
.
The
girl
fled
away
to
the
house
,
but
as
she
ran
she
looked
back
and
saw
that
the
stranger
was
leaning
through
the
window
.
A
minute
later
,
however
,
when
Hunter
rushed
out
with
the
hound
he
was
gone
,
and
though
he
ran
all
round
the
buildings
he
failed
to
find
any
trace
of
him
.
"
36
"
One
moment
,
"
I
asked
.
37
"
Did
the
stable-boy
,
when
he
ran
out
with
the
dog
,
leave
the
door
unlocked
behind
him
?

"
Excellent
,
Watson
,
excellent
!
"
murmured
my
companion
.
"
The
importance
of
the
point
struck
me
so
forcibly
that
I
sent
a
special
wire
to
Dartmoor
yesterday
to
clear
the
matter
up
.
The
boy
locked
the
door
before
he
left
it
.
The
window
,
I
may
add
,
was
not
large
enough
for
a
man
to
get
through
.
39
"
Hunter
waited
until
his
fellow-grooms
had
returned
,
when
he
sent
a
message
to
the
trainer
and
told
him
what
had
occurred
.
Straker
was
excited
at
hearing
the
account
,
although
he
does
not
seem
to
have
quite
realized
its
true
significance
.
It
left
him
,
however
,
vaguely
uneasy
,
and
Mrs.
Straker
,
waking
at
one
in
the
morning
,
found
that
he
was
dressing
.
In
reply
to
her
inquiries
,
he
said
that
he
could
not
sleep
on
account
of
his
anxiety
about
the
horses
,
and
that
he
intended
to
walk
down
to
the
stables
to
see
that
all
was
well
.
She
begged
him
to
remain
at
home
,
as
she
could
hear
the
rain
pattering
against
the
window
,
but
in
spite
of
her
entreaties
he
pulled
on
his
large
mackintosh
and
left
the
house
.

"
Mrs.
Straker
awoke
at
seven
in
the
morning
to
find
that
her
husband
had
not
yet
returned
.
She
dressed
herself
hastily
,
called
the
maid
,
and
set
off
for
the
stables
.
The
door
was
open
;
inside
,
huddled
together
upon
a
chair
,
Hunter
was
sunk
in
a
state
of
absolute
stupor
,
the
favourite
's
stall
was
empty
,
and
there
were
no
signs
of
his
trainer
.
