coming..-r -a saddle,' n!wever, was
perforce to be vacant, what more ap
propriate than that he should fill it?
The thought had come to her instantly,
bred of an underlying regret, which
she had all along cherished, that he
was not to take part. But beneath this
was a deeper passionate wish that she
did not attempt to analyze to see him
assume his place with others long
habituated to that closed circle--a
place rightfully his by reason of birth
and Dame--and to lighten the gloomy
shadow, that must rest on his thoughts
of his father, with warmer sunnier,
things. She heaved a secret sigh of1
satisfaction as the white-clad figure
rose in acquiescence.
The major returned to the grand
stand and held up his hand for silence.;
"Our gracious Liege," he proclaimed,,
in his big vibrant voice, "Queen of
Beauty yet unknown, Lords, Knights
and Esquires, Fair Dames and gentles
all! Whereas divers noble persons
have enterprized and taken upon them
to hold jousts royal and tourney, you
are hereby acquainted that the lists of
Runnymede are about to open for that
achievement of arms and grand and
noble tournament for which they have
so long been famed. But an hour
since one of our noble knights, prick
ing hither to tilt for his lady, was be
set by a grievous malady. However,
lest our jousting lack the royal num
ber, a new champion hath at this last
hour been found to ill the Table
Round, who of his courtesy doth con
sent to ride without armor."
A buzz ran over the assemblage. "It
must be Pendleton who has defaulted,"
said Judge Chalmers. "I heard this
morning he was sick. Who's the sub
stitute knight, I wonder?"
At the moment a single mounted
herald before the tents 'blew a long
blast on a silver horn. Their flaps
ported and eleven knights issued to
mount their steeds and draw into line
behind him. They were brilliantly
decked in fleshlings with slashed dpub
lets and plumed chapeaus, and short
jeweled cloaks drooped from their,
shoulders. Pages handed each a long
lance which was held perpendicular,
the butt resting on the right stirrup.
Under the pavilion, just for the frac-.
tion of a second, Valiant hesitated.
Then he turned swiftly to the twelfth
tent. Its flag-staff bore a long stream
er of deep blood-red. lie snatched
this from its place, flung it about his
waist and knotted it sash-wise. He
drew the rose from his lapel and thrust
it through the hand of his Panama,
leaped to the saddle of the horse the
major had beckoned, and with a quick
thrust of his heel, swung to the end
of the stamping line.
The field and grand stand had seen
the quick decision, with its instant ac
tion, and as the hoofs thudded over
the turf, a wave of hand-clapping ran
across the seats like a silver rain.
"Neatly done, upon my word!" said the
judge, delighted. "What a daring
iclpa! Who is it? Is it-bless my
soul, it is!"
Katharine Fargo had dropped her
lorgnetto with an exclamation. She
stood up, her wide eyes flxed on that
figure in pure white, with the blood
red cordon flaunting across his horse's
flanks and tjUe single crimson blossom
glowing in his hat.
"The White Knight!" she breathed.
"Who is he?"
Judge Chalmers looked round in sud
den illumination. i forgot that you
would, be likely to know him, he said.
"That is Mr. John Valiant of Daiory
Court.'

Are You Using Nitragin?
Your neighbors are using it and they say it increases
the yield of the crop to which it is applied, from 25 to 100
per cent. Beside.'this it causes that crop to store in each
acre of ground from 100 to 200 pounds of pure nitrogen
for the benefit of the next crop. Nitrogen in commer
cial fertilizers costs YOU about 20 cents a pound. Use
Nitragin and you get it FREE from the air. Apply it to
all your Peas, Beans and other pod bearing or legume
crops. Can you afford to pay 20 cents a pound for Nitro
gen when your neighbor gets it FREE?
Full information gladly given.
