XXII-At the last moment Valiant takes the place of one of the knights, who is sick, and enters the lista. CHAPTER XXIII. The Knight of the Crimson Rose. The row of horsemen had halted in a curving line before the grand stand, and now in the silence the herald, holding a parchment scroll, spurred before each rider in turn, demanding his title. As this was given he whirled to proclaim it, accompanying each evolution with a blast on his horn. "Knight of the Golden Spur," "Knight of Castlewood," "Lord of Brandon," "Westover's K n I g h t," "Knight of the Silver Cross": the names, fanciful, or those of family es. tates, fell on John Valiant's ear with a pungent flavor of medievalism. He started as he became aware that the rider next him had answered and that the herald had paused before him. "Knight of the Crimson Rose!" It sprang to his lips without forethought, an echo, perhaps, of the improvised sash and the flower in his lint-band, but the shout of the herald and the trumpet's blare seemed to make the words fairly bulge with inevitability. And through this struck a suddiei ap palled feeling t' -t he had really spoken Shirley's i ame, and that every one had heard. lie could not see her face, and clutched his lance fiercely to overcome an insane desire to stoop hideously in his saddle and peer un der the shading hat-brim. Lest he should do this, he fastened his eyes determinedly on the major, who now proceeded to deliver himself of the "Charge to the Knights." The major made an appealing ceu. ter to the charming picture as he stood on the green turf, "the glass of fashion and the mold or form," his head bare, his shock of blond-gray hair thrown back, and one hand thrust between the buttons of his snowy waistcoat. His rich bass voice rollel out to the farihest corner of the field: "Sir Knights: "The tournament to which we are gathered today is to us traditional; a rite of anthluity and a monument of ancient generations. This relic of i1.i jousts of the Field of the ('loth-or (old points us bac: to an era of knightly deeds, lidelitly to sacred trust, obligation to duty and loyalty to wom-* an-the watchwords of true knight. hood. "We like to think that when our forefathers, offspring of men who es tablished chivalry, came from over seas, they brought with them not only this ancient play, but the precepts it symbolizes. We may be proud,, in. deed, knowing that this is no hollow~ ceremionial, but an earnest that the flower of knighthood has not withered in the worlhd, that in an age when the greed of gold was never so dazzling, the spirit of true gallantry has not faded b~ut blooms luxuriant in the sparkling dews of the heart of this commonwealth. "Most N'oble Knights! In the name of that high tradition which this day preserves! In the memory of those other knights who practiced the tour ney in its old-time glory! In the sight of your Queen of Beauty! I charge you, Southern gentlemen, to joust with that valor, fairness and truth which Where Had John Valiant Learned That Trick of the Loose Wrist and inflexible Thrust. are the enduring glories of the knight. hood of Virginia I" Over the ringing applause, Nancy Chalmers hooked at him with a little smile, quizzical yet soft. "Dear old mnajor!" she whispered to Betty Page. "How he loves the center of the stage I And he's effective, too. Thirty years ago, father says, he might have been anything he wanted to-even United. States Senator. But he would never leave the state. Not that I blame him for that," she added; "I'd rather be a ohurch-mouse in Virginia than Cro0sus' daughter anywhere else." The t~e1v4 hrofeelnest Were now sit thig their reitige .ni6unts in a group at one end of the lists. Two mounted 5n4nitorp'had stationed themselves on eithMr sida Mf tha innA.bmertje- a ti AUREN STOUT stood lbehind the upright from whole arm was suspended the silver ring. The herald blew a blast, calling the title of the first of the knights. In stantly, with lance at rest, the latter galloped at full speed down the lists. There was a sharp musical clash, and as he dashed on, the ring flew the full length of its tether and swung back, whirling swiftly. It had been a close thrust, for the iron pike-point had smitten its rim. A cheer went up, under cover of which the rider looped back outside the lists to his former position. In an upper tier of the stand a spec tator made a cup of his hands. "The Knight of the Golden Spur against the field," he called. "What odds?" "Five to one, Spotteswood," a voice answered. "Ten dollars," announced the first. "Good." And both made memoran dumn on their cuffs: A second time the trumpet sounded, and the Knight of Castlewood flashed ingloriously down the roped aisle-a miss. Again and again the clear note rang out and a mounted figure plunged by, and presently, in a burst of cheering, the herald proclaimed "The Knight of the Black IEagle-one!" and Chilly Lusk, in old-rose doublet and inky plume cantered back with a silver ring upon his pike. No simple thing, approaching leis urely and afoot., to send that tapering point straight to the tiny mark. But at hieadlong gallop, astrido a blooded horse straining to take the bit, a deed requiring a nice eye, a perfect seat and an unwavering arm and hand! Thoss knights who looped back with their pikes thus braceleted had spent long hours in practice and each rode as naturally as he breathed; yet more than once a horse shied in mid-course and at the too-eager thrust of the spur bolted through the ropes. Valiant made his first essay-and missed with the blood singing in his ears. The ring flew from his pike, catching him a swinging blow on the temple in its rebound, but he scarcely felt it. As he cantered back he heard the major's bass pitting him against the field. And then, suddenly, stand and field all vanished. lie saw only the long level rope-lined lane with its twinkling mid-air point. An exhilaration caught him at the feel of the splendid horse flesh beneath him--that sense of one ness with the creature he bestrode which the instinctive horseman knows. He lifted his lance and hefted it, seek ing its absolute balance, feeling its point as a fencer with his rapier. When again the blood-red sasi streamed away the herald's cr., "Knight of the Crimaon lose---OneI" set. the field hand-clapping. Fronm the next joust also, Valiant returned with the gage upon his lance. Two had gone to the Chanplon of Castlewood and two to scattering riders. When Valiant wvon his fourth the grand stand thundered with appilause. The trumpet again pealed its silvery proclamoa tion. Judge Chalmers was on bis feet. "Fifty to ten on the Crimson Rose," lhe cried. This time, however, there were no takers. Hie calledi again. but none heard him; the last tilts were too absorbing. Where had John Valiant learned that trick or the loose wrist and in flexible thrust, but at the fencing club? Where that subconscious management of the rein, that nice gage of speed and distance, but on the polo foeld? The old sports stood him now in good etead. "Why, he has a seat like e centaur!" exclaimed the judge-praise indeed in a community where riding was a passion and horseflesh a fetish! "Oh, dear!h mourned Nancy Chal mers. "I've bet six pairs of gloves on Quint Carter. Never mind; if it has to be anybody else, I'd rather it were Mr. Valiant. It's about time Damory Court got something after Rip-Van Winkling it for thirty years. Besides, he's giving us the dance, and I love him for thati Quint still has a chance, though. Ifhli takes the next two, and Mr. Valiant misses-" Katharine looked at her- with a lit tle smile. "H~e won't miss," she said. She had seen that look on his face before and read it aright. John Va liant had striven in many contests, not only of skill but of strength and dar ing, before crowded grand standsa. But never in all his life had he so desired to pluck the prize. Ils grip was tense on -the lance as the yellow doublet and olive plume of Castlowood shot away for a last time--and failed. An instant later the Knight of the Crim son Rose flashed down the lists with the last ring on his pike. And the tourney was won. In the shouting and hand-clapping Valiant took the rose from his hat band and bound it with a shred of his lash to his lance-point. As he rode slowly toward the masised stand, the whole field was so still that he could hear the hoofs of the ?1e of knights behind him. The people wore on their teet. The mounted herald blew his blast. "By the Majesties of St. Michael and St. George," he proclaimed, "I declare the Knight of the Crimson Rose the victor of this our tourney, and do charge him now to ohooe his Queen otLeauty, that all may do her horn age!" Shirley saw the horse coming down the line, its rider bareheaded now, and her heart began to race wildly. Beyond wanting him to take part, she hhd not thought. She looked about her, suddenly dismayed. People were smiling at her and clapping their hands. From the other end of the stand she saw Nancy Chalmers throw ing her a kiss, and beside her a tall pale girl in chantpagne-color staring through a jeweled lorgnette. She was conscious all at once that the flanneled rider was very close * * * that his pike-point, with its big red blossom, was stretching up to her. . With the rose in her hand she curt sied to him, while tha blurred throng cheered itself hoarse, and the band struck up "Yot Great Big Beautiful Doll," with extraordinary rapture, to the tune of which the noise finally sub sided to a battery of hilarious con gratulations which left her flushed and a little breathless. Nancy Chalmers and Betty Page had burst upon her like petticoated whirlwinds and pres ently, when the crowd had lessened, the judge cane to introduce his visi tor. "Mr. Fargo and his daughter are our guests at Gladden hall," he told her. "They are old friends of Valiant's, by the way; they knew him in New York.." "Katharine's lighting her incense now, I guess," observed Silas Fargo. "See there!" lie pointed across the stand, where stood a willowy tan fig ure, one hand beckoning to the con course below, where Valiant stood, the center of a shifting group, round which the white bulldog, tad with recovered liberty, tore in eccentric circles. As they looked, She called softly, "John! John!" Shirley saw him start and faco about, then come quickly toward her, amazement and welcome in his eyes. As Shirley turned away a little later with the major, that whispering voice seemed to sound in her ears-"John! John!" 'T'here smote her suddenly the thought that when he had chosen her his Queen of Beauty, he had not seen tho other--had not known she was there. A few moments before the day had been golden; she went home through a landscapo that somehow seemed to have lost its brightest glow.
