CHAPTER XI. Continued. .
"Wonders will never ceaso!" said
tho young; man easily shrugging.
"Well our quarry la hero somewhere.
From tho way tho doga act I should
aay ho's bolted Into tho house. With
jour permission I'll tako one of them
In and see." He stooped and snapped
a leash on a dog-collar
"I'm really very Borry" said Valiant
"but I'm living In It at present."
Tho edgo of a smile lifted the care-
fully trained mustache over the
other's whlto teeth. It had io per-
fectly courteous air of saying "Of
course If you say so. Hut"
Valiant turned with a gesture that
Included all. "If you care to dismount
and rest" he said "I shall bo honored
though I'm afraid I can't offer you
uch hospitality as I should wish."
Tho Judge raised his broad soft hat.
""Thank you sir" he said with a soft
accent that delightfully disdained tho
letter "r." "But we mustn't Intrude
any further. As you know of course
the place ha been uninhabited for
any numbor of years and we had no
idea it was to acquire a tenant. You
will overlook our riding through I
hopo. I'm afraid tho neighborhood
has got used to considering this a sort
of no-man's land. It's a pleasure to
know that tho Court Is to be re-
claimed sir. Come along Chilly" he
added. "Our fox has a burrow under
the house I reckon hang the cunning
little devil!"
Ho wavod hla bat at tho porch and
turned his horso down the path side
by side with the golden chestnut.
After them trooped the others horses
walking wearily riders talking In low
TOlces the girls turning often to send
swift blrd-ltke glances behind them
to where tho straight masculine figure
still stood with the yellow sunshine on
Ms face. They did not leap tho wall
this time but filed decorously through
tho swinging gate to tho lied Road
Then as thoy passed from view be-
hind the hedges John Valiant heard
tho younger voices break out together
like tho sound of a bomb thrown Into
a poultry-yard.
John Valiant stood watching till tho
laBt rider was out of Bight. Thfro
-was a warm flush of color In hla face.
At length he turned with a ghost
of a sigh opened the ball door wide
and stalking a hundred yards away
sat down on the shady grass and be-
gan to whistle with his eyes on tho
door.
Presently he was rewarded. On a
sudden around tho edge of tho sill
"With Your Permission I'll Take One
of Them In and See."
peered a sharp suspicious little muz-
zle. Then like a flash of tawny light
the fox broko sanctuary and Bhot for
tho thicket.
The brown Ivied house In the vil-
lage was big and square and faced tho
sleepy street. A one-storied wing con-
tained a small door with a doctor's
brass plato on tho clapboardlng be-
side it. Doctor Southall was one at
Mrs. Merryvcather Mason's paying
guests for she would have deemed
tho word boarder a gratuitous Insult
no less to them than to her. Another
was tho major who for a decade had
occupied tho big old-fashioned corner-room
on tho Becond floor com-
panioned by a monstrous gray cat and
watted on by an ancient negro named
Jereboam who had been a slavo of
his father's.
The doctor was a sallow taciturn
.man with a caturnlne face eyebrows
like frosted thistles a mouth as it
mado with one quick kntfc-slash ncd
a head nearly bald set on a nock that
would not have disqualified a yoar-
ltng ox.
On this particular morning neither
tho major nor tho doctor was in evi-
dence tho former having gone out
early and the latter being at the mo-
ment In his off o as tho brassy buzz
of a telophonn irom ttmo to time an-
nounced. Two of tho green wicker
rocking-chairs on tho porch however
were in ngltant commotion Mrs Ma-
son was receiving a caller in tho per-
son of Mrs. Napoleon Clifford.
"After all these years!" the visitor
was saying In her customary Italics.
(Tbo broad "a" which lent n. dulcet
softness to tho speech of her hostess
was scorned by MrB. Poly her own
"a's" being as narrow as tho needle
through which tho rich man reaches
heaven.) "We camo hero from Rich-
mond when I .as a bride that's
twenty-one years ago and Damory
Court was forsaken then. And think
what a condition tho house must be in
now! Cared for by an agent who
comes every other season from New
York. Trust a man to do work like
that!"
"I'm glad a Valiant Is to occupy It"
remarked Mrs. Mason In her sweet
flute-llko voice. "It would be sad to
see any one else there. For after all
tho Valiants were gentlemen."
Mrs. Clifford sniffed. "Would you
havo called Devil-John Valiant a gen-
tleman? Why ho earned the namo
by the dreadful things he did. My
grandfather used to 'say that when his
wifo lay sick he hated ber you know
ho would gallop his horse with all
his hounds full-cry after him under
her windows. Then that ghastly story
of tho slave he pressed to death In the
hogshead of tobacco."
"I know" acquiesced Mrs. Mason.
"He was a cruel man and wicked too.
Yet of course ho was a gentleman. In
the South the test of a gentleman has
never been what he does but who ho
Is. Dut his grandson Beauty Valiant
who lived at Damory Court thirty
years ago wasn't his type at all. Ho
was only twenty-flvo when the duel
occurred."
"He must have been brilliant" said
tho visitor "to have founded that
great corporation. It's a pity the son
didn't take after him. Havo you seen
the papors lately? It seems that
though ho was to blame for tho wreck-
ing of the concern they can't do any-
thing to him. Borne technicality In
the' law I suppose. But If a man Is
only rich enough they can't convict
him of anything. Why ho should sud-
denly mako up his mind to come down
here I can't see. With that old af-
fair of his father's behind him I
should think he'd prefer Patagonia."
"I take. It then madnm" Doctor
Soutliall'a forbidding voice roso from
tho doorway "that you aro familiar
with the circumstances of that old af-
fair as ydu term It?"
Tho lady bridled. Her passages at
arms with the doctor did not invaria
bly tend to sweeten her disposition.
"I'm sure I only know what people
say" sho said.
" 'People?' " snorted the doctor Iras-
cibly "Just another name for a com-
munity that's a perfect sink of mean-
neBS and malice. It ono believed all
ho heard hero ho'd quit speaking to
his own grandmother."
"You will admit I suppose" said
Mrs. Gilford with some spirit "that
the name Valiant Isn't what It used
to bo in this neighborhood?"
"I will madam" responded the doc-
tor. "When Valiant left this place (a
mark of good taste l'vo always consid-
ered it) he loft It tho worso If possi-
ble for his departure. Your remark
however would seem to Imply de-
merit on his part. Was he tho only
man who ever happened to bo at the
lucky end of a dueling-ground?"
"Then It isn't true that Valiant was
a dead shot and Bassoon intoxicated?"
"Madam" said tho doctor "I have
no wish to dUcuss the details of that
unhappy Incident with you or anybody
elso. I was one of those present but
the circumstances you mention have
never been descanted upon by me."
"I see by the papers" said Mrs. GIf-
ford with on air of resignedly chang-
ing tho subject "they've been Investi-
gating tho failure of the Valiant Cor-
poration. The son seems to be get-
ting the sharp end of tii stick. Per-
haps ho's coming down hero bocauso
they've made it so hot for him in
New York. Well I'm afraid he'll And
this county disappointing."
"Ho will that!" agreed tho doctor
savagely "No doubt ho Imagines he's
coming to a kindly countryside of gentle-born
people with souls and Imagi-
nations; he'll And he's lit in a section
that's entirely too ready to hack at his
father's name nnd prepared in ad-
vance to call him Northern scum and
turn up Its no8o at his accent a com
munity so full of dyed-ln-tho-wool
snobbery that It would mako Boston
look like a poor-white barbecue. I'm
sorry for him!"
Just then from tho rear of the house
came a Btrldent voice:
"Yo . Itaph'el! Tako yo' han's
outer dem cherries! Don' yo' know of
yo' swajlalis dem ar pits yo' gwlneter
hab 'peudegeetus en lump up en die?"
Tho sound of a slap and shrill yelp

who camo to a sudden demoralized
stop in the embarrassing foregiund.
"KaphI" thundered the doctor.
"Didn't I tell you to go back to that'
kitchen?"
"Yes suh" responded tho Imp. "But
yo' dldn' tell me ter stay dar!"
"If I see you out hero again" roared
tho doctor I'll tlo your cars back
and grease- you and SWALLOW
you!" At which grisly threat tho
apparition with a shrill shrlok turned
and ran desperately for the corner of
tho houso.
"I hear" said tho doctor resuming
"that tho young man who camo to fix
tho place up has hired Uncle Jeffer-
son and his wlfo tojiolp him. Who's
responsible for that Interesting infor
mation?"
"Hlckey Snyder" said Mrs. Mason.
"Shn's got a spy-glass rigged up In
a sugar-tree at Miss Mattlo Sue'0
and sho saw thera pottering around
thero this morning."
"Llttlo limb!" exclaimed Mrs. GIf-
ford with emphasis. "She's as cheeky

as a town-hog. I can't Imagine what
Shirley Dandrldge was thinking of
when Bho brought that low-born child
out of her sphere."
Something like a growl came from
tho doctor as he struck open tho
Bcrcon-door. "'Llmbt' I'll hot ten
dollars she's an angel in a cedar-
troo at a church fair compared with
some botter-born young ones I know
of who are only fit to live when
they've got tho scarlet-fever and who
ought to bo In the reformatory long
ago. And as for Shirley Dandrldge
It's my opinion she and her mother
and a few others like her havo got
about 'the only drops of tho milk of
human kindness In this whole aban-
doned community!"
"Dreadful man!" said Mrs. Glfford
sotto voce as tho door banged vicious-
ly. "To think of his being born a
Southall! Sometimes I can't bellevo
It!"
Mrs. Mason shook her head and
smiled. "Ah but that isn't the real
Doctor Southall" Bho said. "That's
only his shell."
"l'vo heard that ho has another
side" responded the other with
guarded grimness "but If ho has I
wish ho'd manago to show It botno-
tlmes." Mrs. Mason took off her glasses and
wiped them carefully "I saw it when
my husband died" sho said softly.
"That was beforo you came. They
wore old friends you know. He was
sick almost a year and tho doctor
used to carry htm out hero on the
porch every day In his arms like a
child. And then when tho typhus
camo that summer among the negroes
ho quarantined himself with thorn the
only whlta man thero and treated
and nursed thorn and burled tho dead
with his own hands till it was
Btnmpol out. That's the real Doctor
Southall."
The rockers vibrated in silence for a
moment. Then Mrs. Glfford said: -I
never knew boforo that he had any-
thing to do with that duel. Was ho
ono of Valiant's seconds?"
"Yes" said Mrs. Mason; "and the
major was tho other. I was a little
girl when It happened. I can bafely
remember it but It made a big sensa-
tion." "And over a love-affair!" exclaimed
Mrs. Glfford In tho tono of ono to
whom romance was dally bread.
"I suppose It was "
For a. time the conversation lan-
guished. Then Mrs. Glfford naked sud-
denly: "Who do you suppose Bho
could have been? the girl behind that
ojd Valiant affair."
1 Mrs. Mason shook her head. "No
ono knowB for certain unless of
course tho major or the doctor nnd I
wouldn't question either of thorn for
worlds You sue people had stopped
gossiping about it before I was out of
school. There's Major Hristow a the
gate now. And the doctor's Just com-
ing out again."
Tho major wore a BUit of white
linen with a broad-brimmed straw
hat and a pink was In his button-
hole but to tho obsorvlng his step
might havo seemed to lack an accus-
tomed Jauutlncss. As he camo up tho

"Feel?" rumbled tho major; "tho
way any gentleman ought to feel this
tlmo of the morning sah. Llko hell
sah."
Tho doctor bent his gazo on the
hilarious blossom In the other's lapel.
"It I wero you Hristow" ho said
scathingly "I reckon I'd quit gallvant-
Ing around to brldge-flghtc with per-
fumery on my handkerchief every
evening it's tho dovtl of an example
to tho young."
The rocking-chairs behind tho
screening vines becamo motionless
and tho ladles exchanged surreptitious
smiles. It tho two gentlemen wero
aware of each other's sterling quail
tics their mutual appreciation was In
Inverse ratio to Its expression and
as tho Eluclnlan mysteries cloaked
before tho world. In public the doctor
was wont to remark that tho major
talked llko a Caesar looked like a
piano-tuner and was tho only man ho
had ever seon who could strut sit-
ting down. Never wero his gibes so
barbed as when launched against the
major's whlto-watstcoated and patri-
cian calm and conversely never did
tho major's bland suavity so nearly
npproach an undignified Irritation as
when receiving tho envenomed darts
of that accomplished cynic.
Tho major settled his black tie. "A
llttlo wholesome cxerclso wouldn't be
a bad thing for you Doctor" he said
succinctly. "You'ro looking a shade
pasty today."
"Exercise!" snapped tho other
viciously as ho pounded down the
steps. "Ha hat I suppose you oxer-
else lazylng out to tho Dandrldges
once a week for a Julep and the rest
of the tlmo wearing out good cano-bot-toms
and palm-leaf fans and cussing
at the heat. You'll go off with apo-
plexy one of these days."
"I shall It they're Beared enough to
call you" tho major shot after him
nettled. But the doctor did not pauso.
Ho went on down tho street without
turning his head.
The major lifted his hat gallantly
to the ladles whoso presence ho had
Just observed
"Do Bit down Major" said Mrs. Glf-
ford. "There's a question I'm JUBt
dying to ask you. We've had such an
interesting conversation You'vo
beard the news of courso that young
Mr. Valiant Is coming to Damory
Court?"
The major sat down heavily. In the
bright light his faco seemed suddenly
pale and old.
"No?" tho lady's tone was arch.
"Have all tho rest of us really got
ahead of you for once? Yes It's true.
There's some one there getting It to
rights.. Now here's tho question.
There was a woman of course at tho
bottom of the Valiant duel. I'd never
dream of asking you who sho was.
But which was it sho loved Valiant
or Bassoon?"

When tho major entorcd his room

was dawdling about putting things to
rights his seamod vlsago under hlB
white wool suggesting a charred
stump beneath a crisp powdering of
snow. "Jedga' Chalmahs done telly-
foam tor ax yo' ovah ter Glahden Hall

"Toll him not tonight Jerry" said
the other wearily. "Somo other time."
The old darky ruminated as- he
plodded down to the doctor's tele-
phone "Whut de mattah now? Ho
got dat ar way-off-yondah look ergon."
He shook his head forebodingly.
The major had Indeed a far-away
look as ho sat there a heavy lonely
tlguro that bright morning. It had
slipped to his faco with tho nows of
tho arrival at Damory Court. Ho told
himself that he felt queer.
Suddenly ho Boomed to hear elfin
voices closo to his ear:
"Which waB It Bho loved? Valiant
or Sassoon?"
It was so distinct that ho started
voxed and disturbed. Ilcally It was
absurd. Ho would bo seeing things
next! "Southall may bo right about
that cxerclso" ho muttered; "I'll walk
moro." Ho began tho projected re-
form without delay striding up and
down tho room. But the llttlo voices
presently sounded again shouting llko
gnomes Insldo a hill:
"Which was It? Valiant or Sas-
soon?" "I wish to God I know!" said tho
major roughly standing still. It si-
lenced them but tho Bound of his own

Thero was tho well-ordered garden of
Damory Court It roso up gloomy
with night shadows across his great
clothes-prcBB against tho wall with
himself sitting on a rusttc-bench
smoking and behind him tho candlo-
llghtcd library window with Beauty
Valiant pacing up and down waiting
for daylight. There was a sun-
lighted stretch between two hemlocks
with Southall and ho measuring tho
ground tho grass all dowy sparkles
nnd an early robin teetering on a
thorn-bush. Eight nlno ten -ho
caught himself counting the paces.
He wiped his forohoad. Between
tho hemlocks now were two figures
facing each other one twitching un-
certainly the other palely rigid; and
at one sldo held screen-wise a raised
umbrella. In some ghostly way he
could see right through tho latter
see tho doctor's band gripping the
handlo his own outstretched beyond
Its edgo holding a handkerchief ready
to flutter down. A silly subterfuge

"Which did she lovo?" Tho major
shook his head helplessly. It was
after all only tho echo become all
at once audlblo on a shallow woman's
lips of a question that bad always
haunted him. It bad first coma to him
on the heels of that duel when ho
had stood somewhat later that hate-

she had loved Sassoon of what uso the
letter Valiant was so long penning in
tho library? But If It were Valiant

her! Who had stained tho unwritten
codo by facing an opponent maddened
with liquor! Yet whut was thero a
woman might not condone in tbo ono

Tho major laughed out suddenly
harshly in tho quiet room and looked

letter still lying In his band. But the

GUILTY OF ONE SMALL LAPSE
The Following Taken From Unwritten
History Proves George Washing-
ton Was Only Human.
On tho afternoon of October 14
1708 George Washington stepped Into
the private ofTlco of his good Philadel-
phia fripnd and dentist SUIcurn Stra-
dies. 'Twas an elegant fall afternoon
and Chestnut street was allvo with
colonial damsels out In their new furs.
'Good-day friend George" quoth
the dentist as he finished polishing a
long wicked-looking spear and picked
up a gleaming crowbar.
"What brings you downtown thus
early?" pursued Strndles as he laid
down the crowbar and picked up an
eight-pound monkey wrench. "Noth-
ing wrong with the teeth I trust?"
And ho put down tho monkey wrench
and picked up a bono-handled Iron
mallet weighing It carelessly In his
hand
"I beg pardon." said George Wash-
ington rather nervously. "What did
you Bay?"
"I f.ay Is it your teeth that brings
you here this beautiful day?" said tho
dentist a be put down tho mallet
and picked up a pair of gas pliers.
"No my feet" said Mr. Washington
with a forced laugh. "Ha ha Slllcum
my feet brought me here to bo sure.
Well I am glad to have eeen you I'm
Bure I must go now."
Outside on the pavement he held his
hand to his aching Jaw and murmured
guiltily: "Ah well. Just ono llttlo lie
in a lifetime won't do any barm and
mayhap the historians will never get
bold of It."

Girls Do the Courting.
Burton Holmes says that tbo na-
tives believe in certain forms of wom-
en's rights In the Philippines espe-
cially w hen It comes to choosing a hus-
band. For instance the Bontoo Iso-
lates leave all tho courting to tho girls
Whllo the worldly goods of the pro-
posed father-in-law have somo bearing
upon tho ardor of tho young lady's
wooing still there aro certain require-
ments which must be lived up to by
the young man namely ho must eith-
er have secured tho head ot an enemy
or ho must be In tho employ ot an
American; In other words ha must
either be a bravo man according to
Igorotq standards or ho must bo In
a fair way to attain a good living.
Kseplng Fruit.
This hint was given by a fruit grow-
er and will be useful to thoso who
buy lemons oranges grapefruit or
apples In large quantities.
Wipe each plcco of fruit with a soft
piece of old all-wool flannel which ab-
sorbs the molsturo readily. Wrap each
piece carefully In now oiled paper
such as confectioners use not rice
paper which Is too stiff. Place the
wrapped fruit gently and loosely In a
barrel or box; put tho receptacle In
a cool dry place and the contents
will keep several months.
