At the tournament her fleeting glimpse had adjudged the other merely sweetly pretty The Chalmers' surrey had atopped on route for : 'ilrley, but in her wraps and veil she had then been all but invlslbl TfgH had been Kath? arine's first adequate view, and the sight of her radiant charm had the effect almost of a blow. Tor Katharine, bo it said, hod wholly surrendered to the old, yet new, at? traction that had swept her on the tourney field. And what had lain al waya In the hack of her mind as a half formed intention, had become a self admitted purpose during the motor ride In another moment the waltz fainted out. to be succeeded by a duex-temps, and presently the host, in his crimson cloak, a \? doffing uls plumed hat be? fore her. Circling the polished floor in the maze, there was son ething gratefully like former days in the as? sured touch, the true and ready nuid ance. The Intrusive question faded. He was the John Valiant Phe had al waya known, of flashing repartee and graceful compliment. fw\ with a touch of dignity, too?as befitted the lord of a manor?which sat well upon hlrn. After a decorous do/en of rounds, she took his srra and allowed her perfect figure to be conducted through the various rooms of the ground floor, chatting in quite th? old-time way. till a new gallant claimed her. The mellow strinna made on ti merry tune, and at length the Wash? ington Post marched ill in flushed unity of purpose to the great muslin walled pon h u'.th its array of tabh s groantng under viands concocted by Aunt Daphne for the delectation of the palate-weary. And then once more the waltz-strain supervened and In the yellow parlor Joy waa again unconhm d. Again Valiant claimed Katharine and thry glided on* on The Beautiful Danube."

"Oh. do yeu mind '"' she responded gratefully It has been a fairly stren uous day. hasn't It'" He guided her to a corridor. where branches of rhododendron gjOfttatd an alcove of settees snd gedtWUvs cush? ions.

A new waltz had begun to sigh its languorous meas? ures. "Place?" she queried. "Do you think you had no place there? Is it possible that you do not understand that your going has left?a void?" He lcoked at her suddenly, and her eyes fell, Hofore he answered, how? ever, the big form of Major Hristow appearedi looking about him. "It has?left a void," she said, her ? ret Still downcast, her voice just low enough. "?for rap." The major pounc.nl upon them at this lonctoro, feelingly accusing John of the imfarlcus design of robbing tho assemblage of its bright and partic? ular filar. When Katharine put her! aan| In her cavalier s arm, her eyes Wert dewy under their long shading I . aos and her bno lips ever so little) tremulous. It had been her bost avail? able moment, ami she had used It. As she moved away, her faint color slightly heightened, she was glad of the interruption. It was better as it was. When Johr. Valiant came to her ugaln. . . . liut to hlra, as he stood watching her move lightly from him, there was vouchsrfed illumination. It came to ; him suddenly that that placidity and I hauteur which had so admired in the old days were no mask for fires within. Tho exquisite husk was the real Kathirlno. Hers was the loveli? ness of some tall white lily cut In marble, splendid but chill. And with the thought, between him and her then! s rept through tho shimmering candle lighted air a breath of wet roeo fragrance like an impalpable cloud, and set In the midst of it a misty star tinted gown sprayed with lilies-of-the valley. and above it a girl's face clear and vivid, her deep shadow-blue eyes Axed on his. The music of a two-step was lan? guishing when, a little lator, Valiant and Shirley strolled down between tho garden box-hedges, cypress-shaped and lifting spire-like toward a sky which bent, a silent canopy of mauve and purplish blue. Ilehlnd them Damory court lay a nest of woven music and laughter. Tho long white mmlined porch shimmered goldenly, and beside it under tho lanterns dal? lied a tlirtatious couple or two, ghost? like In the shadows. "Como," ho said. "Let me take you to see tho sun dial now." The tangle had been cut away and a narrow gravel-path led through the pruned creepers. She made an excla? mation of delight. The onyx-pillar Katharine's Heart Beat Fast and Then Stood Still. Sassoonl stood in an oasis of white?moonflow* ers, white dahlias, mignonette and nur ellStti; bats of Intl Uliesof-tho-vul ley be;,.mil these, bordered with Arum-' III esi white clematis, iris and bridal I reatfc, Shadlni out into tender paler hues that ringed tho spotless purity lik" dawning passion.

The hand that listened her skirts about bet km i. had befua to tremble and she caught tho other hand to her cheek in n vague hesitant gesture. The moon flowen seemed to he great round eyes i ering up at her. ? Bhirley?" he said, and now his voice was shaken with longing?"will you make my happiness for me?" She was standing perfectly still against the sun dial, both hands, laced together, against her breast, her eyes OH nis with a strange startled look. Over the hush of the garden now, like the very soul of the passionate night, throbbed the haunting barcarole of "Talcs of Hoffmann:" "Night of nlars and night of love?" an inarticulate echo of his longing. He took a step toward her, and she turn? ed like one in sudden terror seeking a way of escape. Hut he caught her close in his arms. "1 love you!" he paid. "Hear it now In my brides garden that I've made for you! I love you, 1 love you!" For one instant she struggled. Then, slowly, her eyes turned to his, the sweet lips trembling, atid something dawning deep in the dewy blue that turned all his leaping blood to quick? silver. "My darling!" he breathed, and their lips met. In that delirious moment both had the sense of divine completion that comes only with love returned. For him there was but the woman In his arms, the one woman created for him since the foundation of the world It was Kismet. For this he had come to Virginia. For this fate had turned and twisted a thousand ways. Through, the riot of his senses, like a silver blaze, ran the legend of the calendar: "Every man carries bis fate upou a riband about his nock." For her, some L'pnj seemed to pass from her soul with that kiss, some deep Irrevocable thing, shy but fiercely strong, that had sprung to him at that np-contact as steel to magnet. The foliage about them flared up in green light and the ground under her feet rose and fell iilre deep sea-waves. She lifted her face to him. It was deathly pale, but the light that burned on it was lit from the whitest altar fires of southern girlhood. "Six weeks ago," she whispered, "you had never seen me!" Ho held her crushed to him. She could leel his heart thudding madly. "1'vo always known you." he said. "I've seen you a thousand times. I saw you coming to meet me down a cherry blossomed lane in Kyoto. I've seen your eyes peering from behind a veil in India. I've heard your voice calling to me, through the padding camel's feet, from tho desert mirages. You are the dream I have gone searching always! Ah, Shirley, Shirley, Shir? ley!" CHAPTER XXVI. The Doctor Speaks. While the vibrant strings hummed and sang through the roses, and the couples drifted on tireless and con? tent, or blissfully "sat out" dances on tho stairway, Katharine Fargo held her stately court no less gaily for the stealthy doubt that was creeping over her spirit. She had been so certain of what would happen that evening that when her father (between cigars on the porch with Judge Chalmers and Doctor Southall) had searched her mit under a flag-of-truce, she had sent him to the right-about, laughingly de? fining to depart before royalty. Hut number followed number, and the knight In purple and gold had not paused again before her. Now the scarlet cloak no longer flaunted among the dancers, and the white satin gown and sparkling coronal had disappeared. The end of the next "round-danco" found her subsiding into the flower-banked alcove sudden? ly distrait amid her escort's sallies. It was at this moment that she saw, en? tering tho corridor from the garden, the missing couple. It was not the faint flush on Shir-. ley's cheek?that was not deep?nor was it his nearness to her, though they Htood closely, as lovers might. But Ihero was in both their faces a some 'hing that resurgent conventionality had not had time to covor? a treu. bling reflection of that "light that never was. on s(?a or land"?w hich was like a death-stab to what lay far deep or than Katharine's heart, her pride. She drew swiftly back, dismayed at the sudden verification, and for an in? stant her whole body chilled. A craving for a glass of water has served its purpose a thousand times; as her cavalier solicitously departed to fetch tho cooling draught, she rose, and carelessly humming the refrain the music had just left off, sauntered lightly out by another door to the open air. A swift glance about her showed her she was unobserved and she step? ped down to the grass and along the winding path to a bench at sonin dis? tance In tho t'hrubbery. Here the smiling mask slipped from her face and with a shiver she dropped her hot face in her hands. There were no tears. Tho wave that was welling over her was one of bitter humiliation. She had shot her bolt and missed she. Katharine Far? go' For three years she had held lehn Valiant, romantically speaking in the hollow of her Bhapely hand. Now She had all hut thrown herself at his feet and he had turned away to this flame-haired, vivid girl whom he had not known as many i lontha! Heavy footfalls all at once aproach* ed her?two men wt re coming from the house, There was the spitting ??rackle of a match, and as she pe< red out. its red Hare lighted the massive face and floating hair of Major Hris tow, His companion's face was in the shadow. Bhe waited, thinking they would pass: hut to her annoyance, win u she looked again, they had :?< at ed themselves on a bench a few paces away. To bo found mooning in Iho shrub? bery liko a schoolgirl did not please hor, but it seemed there was no re? course, and she had half arisen, when the major's gruff-voiced companion spoke a name that caused her to sit down abruptly. "Bristow, Shirley's a magnificent girl." "Finest In seven counties," agreed the major's bass. "Whom do you reckon she'll choose to marry?" "Chilly Lusk, of course. The boy's been in love with her since V oy were in bibs. And he comes as near being lit for her as anybody." "Hump!" said the other sardonical? ly. "No man I ever saw was half good enough for a good woman. Hut good women marry just the same. It isn't Lusk. I used to think it would be, but Fve got a pair of eyes in my head, if you haven't It's young Val? iant." The pearl fan twisted in Katha iine's fingers. What she had guessed was an open secret, thv3n! The major made an exclamation that I had the effect of coming after a jaw dropped silence. "I?I never thought i of that!" The other resumed slowly, some? what bitterly, it seemed to ti e girl listening. "If her mother was in love with Sassoon?" Katharine's heart beat fast and then stood still. Sassoon! That was the ! name of the man Valiant's father had killed in that old duel of which Judge Chalmers had told! "If her mother"? Shirley Dandridge's mother?"was in love with Sassoon!" Why?" "Was she?" The major's query held a sharpness that seemed almost appeal. She was conscioui that the other had faced about abruptly. "I've always believed so, certainly.! If she had loved Valiant, would she have thrown him over merely because he broke his promise not to be a party to a quarrel?" "You think not?" said the major huskily. "Not under the circumstances. Val? iant was forced into it. No gentleman, at that day, could have declined the meeting. He could have explained it to Judith's satisfaction?a woman doesn't need much evidence to justify the man she's in love with. He must have written her?he couldn't have gone away without that?and if she had loved him, she would have called him hack." The major made no answer. Katha? rine saw a cigar fall unheeded upon the grass, where it lay glowing like a panther's eye. The. other had risen now, his stoop? ed figure bulking in the moonlight. His voice sounded harsh and strain? ed: "I loved Beauty Valiant," he said, "and ,his son is his son to me?but I have to think of Judith, too. She feint? ed, Bristow, when she saw him?Shir? ley told me about it. Her mother has made her think it was the scent of the j roses! He'8 his father's living image, and he's brought the past back with j him. Every sound of his voice, every j sight of his face, will be a separate stab! Oh, his mere presence will be enough for Judith to bear. But with j her heart in the grave with Sassoon, what would love between Shirley and young Valiant mean to her? Think of it!" i He broke off, and there was a blank of silence, in which he turned with almost a sigh. Then Katharine saw him reach the bench with a single stride and drop his hand ou the bowed shoulder. "Bristow!" he said bruskly. "You'ro 111! This confounded philandering at your time of life?" The major's face looked, ashy pale, but ho got up with a laugh. "Not I," he said; "I was never better in my life! We've had our mouthful of air. "Come on back to the house." "Not much!" gruuted the other. "I'm going where we both ought to have been hours ago." He threw away his cigar and stalked down the path into the darkm ss. The major stood lo king after him till he had disappeared, then suddenly dropped on the bench and covered his face. Something liko a groan burst from him. "My God!" he said, and his voice camo to Katharine with a quaver of' age and suffering?very different from the jovial accents of the ballroom?"if I were only suro it was Sassoon!" Presently he rose, and went slowly toward the lighted doorway. CHAPTER XXVII. The Ambush. Not long after, from the musicians' Itower the souud of "Home, Sweet Home," drifted over the poignant rose scent, and presently the driveway re? sounded to rolling wheels and the voices of negro drivers, and the houso ontrance jostled with groups, muflled in loose carriage-wraps, silken cloaks and light overcoats, calling tired but laughing farewells. Katharine, on the step, found her? self looking into Valiant's eyes. "How can l tell you how much I have en? joyed it all?" she said. "I've stayed till the very last minute?which is something for one's fourth season! And now, goodby, for we are off tonior n tor Hot Springs." Her father had long ago betaken himself homeward, and the big three seated Burrey?-holding "six comftable and nine fumiliah," in the phrase of Llge the coachman?had retunual for tue rest: Judge Chalmers, the tw<0 younger girls and Shirley. Katharine greeted the latter with a charming smile. What more natural than that h should tmd herself straightway on the rear seat with royalty? The two girls Bofely disposed in the middle, the ludge climbed un beside the driver. who cracked his whip and they were off. The way was not long, and Katha? rine had need of dispatch if that re? vengeful weapon were to be used which fate had put into her hands. She wasted little time. "It seema so strange," she said, "to find our host in such surroundings! I can scarcely believe him the same John Valiant I've danced with a hun? dred times in New York. He's been here such a short while and yet he couldn't possibly be more at home if he'd lived in Virginia always. And you all t^eat him as if he were quite one of yourselves." Shirley smiled enchantingly. "Why, yes," she said, "maybe it seems odd to outsiders. But, you see, with us a Val? iant is always a Valiant. No matter where he has lived, he's the son or his father and the master of Damory court." "That's the wonderful part of it. It's so?so English, somehow." "Is it?" said Shirley. "I never thought of it. But perhaps it seems so. We have the old houses and the old names and think of them, no doubt, in the sai * way." "What a sad life his father had!" pursued Katharine dreamily. "You know all about the duel, of course?" Shirley shrank imperceptibly now. The subject touched Valiant so closely it seemed almost an if it belonged to him and to her alone?not a thing to be flippantly touched on. "Yes," she said somewhat slowly, "every one here knows of it." i "No doubt it has been almost forgot? ten," the other continued, "but John's coming must naturally have revamped the old story. What was it about? the quarrel? A love-affair?" I "It's so long ago." murmured Shir? ley. "I suppose some one could ten if they would." "Major Bristow, perhaps" conjec? tured Katharine thoughtfully. "He was one of the seconds," admit | ted Shirley unhappily. "But by com I mon consent that side of it wasn't talked of at the time. Men in Vir? ginia have old-fastnoned ideas about women. . . ." "Ah, it's fine of them!" paeaned Katharine. "I can imagine the men who knew about that dreadful affair, in their southern chivalry, drawing a cordon of silence about the name of that girl with her broken heart. For if she loved one of the two, it must have been Sassoon?not Valiant, else ho would have stayed. How terrible to see one's lover killed in such a way. . . . It was quickly ended for him, but the poor woman was left to bear it all the years. I fancy she would never wholly get over it, never be able to forget him, though she tried." (To be Continued.)
