opened his eyes suddenly.
"Shirley" he whlsporod. "Where's

Tho doctor drew back silently; but

major called blm nearer
"No" ho panted; "I like to soo you
two togother." His volco was very
weak and tired.
As she leaned and touched his hand
ho smiled whimsically "It's mighty
curious" ho said "but I can't got It
out ot my bead that Its Ileauty Vali-
ant and Judith that I'm really talking
to. Foolish Isn't It?" Dut tho Idea
seemed to master him nnd presently
he began to call Bhlrloy by hor moth-

smoothed miraculously out.
"Judith" ho whispered " you
sure you told me tho truth a while ago
when you said you said "
"Yes yes" Shirley answorcd put
ting hor young arm under him think
ing only to soothe the anxiety that
seemed vaguely to thread somo vaguo
hallucination.
He smiled again. "It makes It
easier" ho said. He looked at Valiant
his mind seeming to slip farther and
farther away. "Ilenuty" ho gasped
"you didn't go away aftor all did youl
I dreamed It I reckon. It'll bo all
right with you both."
He sighed peacefully and his eyes
turned to Shirley's and closed. "I'm
so glad" ho muttered "so glad I
didn't really do It Judith. It would
have been tho only low-down thing
I ever did."
The doctor wont swiftly to tho door
and beckoned to Jerebo'am "Come In

"quickly." v
Tho old negro fell on his knees by
the couch. "Mars' Monty!" he cried.
"Is you' gwlne away en leabo ol' Jer-
ry? Is yo'? Mars'?"
The cracked but loving voice struck
across the void of tho falling sense.
For n last tlmo tho major opened his
mUtlng eyes.
"Jerry you block scoundrel!" ho
whispered and Shirley felt his head
grow heavier on her arm "I reckon it's
about tlmo to mo going homo!"
CHAPTER XXXII.
Renunciation.
The grim posse that gathered tn
haBto that afternoon did not ride far.
Us work hud boen singularly well
dono. It brought bnck to Damory
court however a whlto bulldog whoso
broken log made his would-ba Joyful
bark trail Into a sad whlmpor as his
owner took him Into welcoming arms.
Noxt day tha major was carried to
his final rest In tho myrtled shadow ot
St. Androw's. At tho service the old
church was crowded to Its doors.
Vnltant occuplod a humble place at
ono slde-r-the others ho knew wero
older friends than he. The light of the
lato afternoon came dimly In through
tho Btalnod-glass windows and seemed
to clothe with subtle colors tho volco
of tho rector as ho read the solemn
service Tho responses came brokon-
ly and their wero tears on many faces.
Valiant could seo the slde-faco ot
tho doctor Its saturnine grlmness
strangely moved and beyond him
Shlrloy and her mother. Many glanced
at them for the major's will bad been
opened that morning and few thoro
had been surprised to learn that save
for a llfo-annutty for old Jereboam
ho had loft everything ho possessed
to Shlrloy Miss Mattle Sue was be-
sldo them and between wan with
weoplng sat RIckoy Snyder. Shirley's
arm lay shelterlngly about the small
shoulders ae If It would stay the pas-
sion ot grtof that from time to time
shook them.
Tho evening botore had been further
darkened by tho child's disappearance
and Miss Mattle Suo had sat through
halt tho night In tearful anxtoty. It
was Valiant who bad solved tho riddle.
In hor first wild compunction RIckoy
had gasped out tho story ot her meet-
lug with Oreef King his threat and
her own terrorized silence and when
he heard ot this he bad guoseed her
whereabouts. He had found hor at
tho Dome tn the deserted cabin from
which on a snowy night six years ago
Shlrloy bad rescued hor. She had flod
there In her shabbiest dress her toys
and trlnkots loft bohlnd taking with
her only a string of blue glass beads
that had boon Shlrloy's last Chrlatmaa
present
"Lot mo stay!" she had walled. "I'm
not fit to llvo down there! It's all my
fault that It happened. I was a coward.
I ought to stay hero In Hell's-Half-Acre
forever and over!" Valiant had car-
ried her back In his arms down the
mountain sho bad been too spout to
walk.
Ho thought ot this now as he saw
that arm about tho child in that pro-
tective almost motherly gesture It
mado his own heattache more unbear-
able. Such a little tlmo ago bo bad
felt that arm about him!
Ho leaned his hot head against the
cool plaatored wall trying to keop his
mind on tho solemn reading. Hut Shir
ley's voice aud laugh seemod to be
running oerlly through the chanting
lines and her faco shut out pulpit and
lectern. It swept over htm suddonly
that each abominable hour could but
make the situation mora Impossible
for them both. Ho had seen her as
she entered tho church had thought
her oven paler than In the wood tho
bluish shadows deeper under her eyes.
Thoso dellcato charniB wero in eclipse.
And It was ho who was to blamo!
It came to him with a stab of en-
lightenment. Ho had been thinking
only ot himself all the whtlo. Dut for
her It vas his presence that had now
become tho unbearable thing. A cold
sweat broko on bis forehead. " . . .
for I am a stranger with thee and a
sojourner; as all my fathers were. O
sparo mo a little that I may recover
my strength before I go hence. . ."
Tha tntoulng voice fell dully on his
ears.

life to a future empty of her? How
could ho do that? When ho had part-
od from her In the rain ho had felt a
frenzy of obstinacy. It had seemed eo
clear that the barrier must In the end
yield before their love. Ho had nover
thought of surrender. Now he told
himself that flight was all that was
left him. She her hfcpplncss noth-
ing else mattered. Damory court and
Its future the plans ho had made the
Valiant namo In that clarifying In-
stant ho know that all these from that
May day on tho lied road had clung
about her. She had been the Inspira-
tion of all.
"Lead kindly Light amid the encircling
gloom"
Tho voices of tho unvested choir
roso clearly and somo one at hie side
was whispering that this had been the
major's favorite hymn. Out ho
scarcely heard.
When tho service was ended the
people filled tho big yard while the
last rovcront words woro spoken at the

grave. Valiant standing with tho rest
saw Shirley with her mother and tho
doctor oass out ot tho gate. She was
not looking toward him. A mlet was
bofore hla oyes as they drove away
and the vision of her romalnod waver-
ing nnd Indistinct a palo blurred face
under shining hair.
Ho realtzod aftor a time that tho
yard was empty and tho sexton was
locking tho church door. He went
slowly to tho gato and Just outsldo
somo ono spoke to him. It was Chts-
holm Lusk. They had not met since
the night ot the ball. Even In his own
preoccupation. Valiant noted that
Luak's face seemed to have loat Its
exuberant youthfulness. It was worn
as If with sloeplcssncss nnd had a
look of suffering that touched him.
And alt at once while they stood look-
ing at each other. Valiant know what
tho other had waited to say.
"I won't beat about the bush" satd
Lusk stammering. "I'vo got to ask
you something. I reckon you ve
guessed that I that Shirley"
Valiant touched tho young fellow s
arm. "Yes" he said "I think I know."
"It's no new thing with mo" said
the other hoarsely "It's boen three
years. The night ot the ball I thought
perhaps that I don't mean to ask
what you might have a right to resent
but I must And out. Is there any
reason why I shouldn't try my luck?"
Valiant shook his bead. "No" ho
said heavily "there Is no reason."
The boyish look sprang back to
Lusk's face. He drew a long breath.
"Why then I will" he said. "I I'm
sorry It I hurt you. Heaven knows I
didn't want tol"
Ho grasped tho other's hand with a
man's heartiness and went up the road
with a swinging strldo; and Valiant
stood watching him go with his hands
tlght-clonched at his side.
A little later Valiant climbed the
sloping driveway ot Dnmory court. It
Boomed to stare at him from a thou-
sand reproachful eyes. The bachelor
red squirrel from his treo-crotch
looked down at him askance. The
redblrds Hashing through tho hedges
fluttered disconsolately. Flro-Cracker
the peacock was shrieking from the
upper lawn and the strident discord
seemod to mock his mood.
Tho groat house had becomo home
to him; he told himself that ho would
make no other Tho few thlngB be had
brought his books and trophies had
grown to bo a part of It and they
should remain. The ax should not be
laid to tho walnut grove. As his fa-
ther had dono he would leave behind
him the life ho had lived there and
tho old court should be once more
closod and deserted. Uncle Jefferson
and Aunt Daphne might live on In tho
cabin back ot tho kitchens. There
was pasturage for tho horse and the
cows nnd for old Sukoy and some
ncros had already been cleared for
planting. And thore would be tho
swans tho ducks and chickens the
peafowl and the fish.
A letter had coma to him that morn-
ing. Tho corporation had resumed
business with credit unimpaired. Pub-
lic opinion was more than friendly
now. A place waited for htm thero
and one ot added honor In a concern
y

that had rigorously cleansed Itself and
already looked forward to a new ca-
roer of prosperity. Dut ho thought ot
this now with no thrill. The old life
no longer cnllfd. There wero still
wide unpeopled spaces somewhere
where a man's hand and brain were no
less needed and there was work there
that would help htm to bear. If not for-
get. He paced up and down the porch un-
der the great gray columns his steps
spiritless and lagging. The Virginia
creeper trailing over Its end waved
to nnd fro with a sound like a elgh.
How long would It bo before tho lawn
was onco more unkempt and draggled?
Iloforo burdock and thistle mullein
and Spanlsh-needlo would return to
smother the clover? Before Damory
court on which ho had spent such
loving labor would lie again as It lay
that afternoon when he had rattled
thither on Undo Jefferson's crazy
hack? Befora thoro would be for him
in somo far-away corner of tho world
only Wlshlng-Houso and tho Never-
fovor Land?
In the hall he stood a moment be-
fore the fireplace his eyes on Its
carven motto "I cllnge:" the phraso
was like a spear-thrust Ho began to
wander restlessly through tho houso
up and down like a prowling animal.
Tho dining-room looked auBtero and
chill only the little lady In hoops and
lovo-curls who had been his great-
grandmother smiled wistfully down
from her gilt frame above tho console
nnd In the library a melancholy
deeper than that of yestorday's trag-
edy seemed to hang through which
Devil-John drawing closer the leash
of his leaping hound glared sardon-
ically at him from his one cold eyo.
Tho shutters ot tho parlor were
closed but he threw them open' and
let the rich light pierce the yellow
gloom glinting from tho figures In
tho cabinet and weaving a thousand
tiny rainbows In the prisms ot the
great chandelier.
He went upstnlra Into tho bedrooms
one by one now and then passing his
hand over a polished chair-back or
touching an ornament or a framo on
the wall: Into The HUarlum with Its
records of childish study and play.
The dolls stood now on drese-parado
In glass cases and prints In bright
colors dear to little people were on
the walls. He opened tho shutters
here too and stood some time on the
threshold beforo he turned and wont
heavily downstairs.
Through the rear door be could see
the kitchens and Aunt Daphne sitting
under the trumpet-vine piecing a nine-
patch calico quilt with llttlo squares
ot orange and red and green cloth.
Two diminutive darkies wero sprawled
on tho ground looking up at her with
round serious eyes while a wary ban
tam pecked Industriously about their
baro legs.

It was not till after dark had come
that Valiant said goodby to the gar-

and the white froth of the water bub-

The Voice From the Past
Though tho doctor left the church
with Shirley and her mother ho did
not drlvo to Rosewood but to hie of-
fice There alone with Mrs. Dan-
drldgo wbllo Shlrloy waited In tho
carriage he unlocked the little tin
box that had been tho major's with
the key Mrs. Dandrldgo gavo hlm.and
put into" her hands a little packet of J
yellow olled-ellk which bore her name.
Ho noted that it agitated her pro-
foundly and as she thmst It Into the
bosom of her dress her faco seemed
stirred as he had never seen it When
ho put her again In tho carriage be
patted her shoulder with a touch far
gentler than his gruff goodby.
At Rosewood at length alone In her
room sho sat down with tho packet In
her hands. During the long hours
slnco first the llttlo key had lain in
her palm like a live conl she had been
all afire with eagerness. Now the
2ioment had come she was almost
afraid.
Sho tried to Imagine that letter's
coming to her then. Thirty years
agoi A May day a day ot golden
sunshine and flowors. The arbors bad
been covered with rosea then too like
thoso whoae pertumo drifted to her
now. Evil news flies fast and buo
had heard ot tbo duel very early that
morning. Tho letter would have
reached her later. Sho would have
fled away with It to this very room
to read It alone as she did nowl

Value of Talk.
Talk has the reputation ot being the
cheapest thing thero Is. As supply
and demand have something If not all
to do with values doubtless tho sup-
ply ot talk Is what gives It a bargain
counter value.
Things that are cheap lack enduring
quality.
It talk were confined to the things
done more than to the thing said. It
would have a greater value.
Some one asked Edison tt he experi-
enced much Inconvenience on account
of his deafness. He replied that he
thanked God for It every day since It
protected him from the distracting ef-
fect of other people's talk. He could
thus llvo his own lire think bis own
thoughts do hts own work In bis world

The finding of the picture Is time-

will be of servlco for the staging of

It Is certain that no one shelter-

that does not moan that the two Ut-
ters or more wilt bo ablo to get along
and do well when kept together.
Whoro you aro keeping a number

They aro half starved In many In-
stances. You begin to wonder what Is the
matter with the majority of the pigs

day or two you will see Just why.
They are robbing the other youngsters

Thero Is no use blaming tho poor

PROPER FEEDING FOR CALF
Change From Whole Milk to Skim
Must Bo Gradual Allow Young-
ster Clean Dry Paddock.
(By PBOF. A. NYSTItOM. Washington.)
The mother's milk should be fod the
first week beginning when the calf ts
24 to 36 hours old. Tho milk tnuit
be fresh and warm about nlnoty-flva
to one hundred degrees Fahrenheit
and must always be fed from a clean
pall preferably a tin pall. A wooden
pall ts too hard to keep sweet and
clean.
The second week whole milk from
any cow may be fed and the third
week tt the calf Is In good hoalth and
growing nicely the change to skim-
milk may bo begun. Do not make the
mistake ot feeding more sklm-mllk
simply because tho cream Is removod.
The whole milk contains about aa
much protein as the calf can handle
and when sklm-mllk Is fod tn large
quantities tho calf gets more than he
can use and as a consequence a sick
calf Is the result
The change from whole milk to
sklm-mllk must be gradual; from one-
halt to one and one-halt pounds a day
dopendlng upon the size and vigor of
calf. To an average cnlf two weeka
old we would feed about twelve
pounds a day ot whole milk. The first
day of the third week or when It la
desfrable to begin the change the
dally feed would be eleven pounds ot
wholo milk and one pound ot sklm-
mllk: the second day ten pounds ot
whole milk and two pounds of sklm-
mllk and so on until the complete
change la made. It Is Just as. essen-
tial to feed the sktm-mtlk warm as
the whole milk although when tha
calf gets larger and stronger six to
ten weoks old a gradruol change to
cold milk may be made.
Allow the calt a clean airy paddock
or box stall In which to get exercise.
Give him eomo well cured hay Buch
as timothy and clover or timothy
alone ns soon as ho will eat It which
will bo when he Is from three to four
weeks old. Alfalfa in small quantities
mny be fed but with this rooghago
thero Is danger ot tho calf's eating
more than he can properly digest
Grain may be fed as soon as ho will
tako It and for this purpose a mixture
of bran and crushed oats or crushed
oats alone Is recommendod.
