Mr. Valiant, they ride for n prise.
It's n very ancient thing—Tr* seen
references to it in n colonial manu
script In the Byrd library at West
over. No doubt It’s come down di
rectly from the old joueta."
“Yon don’t moan to say." cried his
hearer In genuine sstonlshmenlp'that
Virginia has a lineal descendant of
the tourney?”
The major nodded. “Yes. Certain
sections of Kentucky used to have it, i
toe. hut it has died out there. It ax-!
lets now only in this state. It** a
curious thing that the old kntghly
meetings of the middle ages ehould |
survive today only on American soil <
and In n corner of Virginia.”
Doctor Southall, meanwhile, had set
his gate on the litter of pamphlets. .
He turned with an appreciative eye. !
"You’re beginning In earnest. The;
Agricultural department. And the 1
Congressional frank.”
“I’ve goat to the fountainhead.” said '
Valiant. “I'm trying to find out pos
sibilities. I've sent samples of the;
soil. It’s lain fallow’ so lodg It has l
occurred to me It may need special '
treatment.”
The major pulled him mustache ,
meditatively. “Not a bad idea,” be <
said. “He* starting right—eh. South-1
all? You're bringing the view-point I
of practical science to bear on the
problem. Mr. Valiant.”
T’tn afraid I'm a sad sketch as a •
scientist,” laughed the other. “My ;
point of view has to be a somewhat >
prsctlcal one. 1 must be self-support- j

If my ancestors lived from it. I can.
It’s not only that.” he went on more '
slowly. “I want to make the moat of >
the place for Its ow n sake. too. Not
only of its possibilities for earning,
but of its natural beauties. I lack i
the resources I once had. but I can
give it thought and work, and If they
can bring Damory Court back to any
thing even remotely resembling what ,
it once was. I’ll not spars either.”
The major smote his knee and even 1
the doctor’s face showed s grim, If
transient approval “I believe you’ll
do It!” exclaimed the former. “And
let me say, sah, that the neighbor
hood Is not unaware of the splendid !
generosity which Is responsible for
the present lack of which you speak.” i
Valiant put out his hand with a •
little gesture of deprecation, but the 1
other disregarded It. "Confound It, ;
sah, It was to be expected of a Vali

“Bsh,” said the major feelingly.
I turning to his host, i’m proud to

{with Valiant and glared at the doctor,
who was sipping his own thought
fully. "In my travels.” he said. ”1

The question that had sprung to
Valiant’s lips now found utterance.
"1 saw you look at the portrait there,"
I he said to the major. Which of tny
ancestors is It?”
The other got up aud stood before
the mantelpiece lu a Napoleonic atti
tude. “That,” he said, fixing his ey*
glasses, "is your great-grandfather,
Devll-John Valiant.”
“Devll-John!” echoed bis host.
“Yes, I’ve heard the name.”
The doctor guffawed. He earned
It, I reckon. 1 never realised what
• sinister expression that missing
optic gives the old ruffian. There
was a skirmish during the war on the
hillside yonder and a bullet put It out.
When we were boys we used to call
him ‘Old One-Bye.*"
“It interests me enormously.” John
Valiant spoke explosively.
“The stories of Devil-John would
fill ‘a mighty big book,” said the
niapor. "By all accounts he ought to
have lived in the middle ages.” Cross
ing the library, be looked into the din
ing-room. "I thought 1 remembered.
The portrait over the console there
IK his wife, your great-grandmother.
She was a wonderful swimmer, by
the way.” he went on, returning to
his seat. "It was said she had swum
serosa the Potomac In her hunting
togs. When Devil-John heard of the
feat, he swore he would marry her
and he did. It was a love-match, no
doubt, on her side; he must have
been one to take with women. Even
in those days, when men still lived
picturesquely and weren’t all cut to
the name pattern, he must have been
unique. There was something satfefi
lcally splendid aad savage about him.
My greatrunele used to say he stood

only a few hours leeway, he made his

lightning, aud he rode cursing i»t
both. There’s au old black-gum tree
a mile from here that they still call
Devtl-John's tree. They were Just
passing undar It when the lightning
struck It. Lightning has no effect j
on the black-gum, you know. The
bolt glanced from the tree and struck
him between the two slaves without
harming either of them. It killed his I
horse, too That’s the story. To be J

warn’t to much worse than U# rest
of his neighbors—not excepting even
the parsons. ‘Other times, other man

"They weren't any worse than tbe
present generation,” said the doctor
malevolently. “Your four bottle men
then knew only claret: now they pun
ish whisky-straight. They still trice [
up their gouty legs to take after
harmless foxes. And I dare say the
women will be wearing red-heeled
slippers again next year.”
The major buried hie nose in hie |
Jul*«p*for a long moment before he}
looked at the doctor blandly. ”1 agree
with you, Bristow," he aald; “but It's
the first time I ever heard you admit
that muoh good of your ancestors.”
••Good”* said the doctor belliger
ently Me? | don’t! I said people |
uow Wre no better. As for the men ,
of. that time, they were a cheap swag
gering lot of bullies sod swash-buck
lers. Wben I read history I'm 1
ashamed to be descended from them.”
”1 desire to Inform you, sah,'' slid
the major, stung, “that I too am a
descendant of those bullies and
swashbucklers, aa you call them.
And I wish from my heart I thought
wa, nowadays, could hold a tallow
dip to thsm. Whatever their habits,
they had their Ideals, and they lived
up to them.” (
“You refer, ao doubt.” egid the doc
tor with sarcasm. ”to our friend Devil-
Jobs and hts ideal treatment of hie
wife!”
“No, sah.” ra«Med the major warm
ly. I'm not referring to Devil-John.
Thors were exceptions, no doubt, but
tor the moot part they treated their
womdn folk as I believe their Maker
made theru to be treated’ The man
who failed in hie courtesy there, sah.

He broke off and coughed There
"was an awkward pause In which he

sud stood before the open bookcase.
"I envy you ®hln“ sah,” he said with
somewhat of haste. "A fine old col
lection. Bless my soul, what a curious
volume!”
As he apoke. his hand Jerked out a
heuvy-looking leather-back. Valiant,
who had risen and stood beside him.
saw instantly that what he bad drawn
from the shelf was the morocco <*a»e
that held the rusted dueling-pistol’ In
the major’s hands the broken box
opened. A sudden Married look darted
•cross his leonine face. With smoth
ered exclamation he thrust It back
between the books and closed tbe
glass door.
Valiant had paled. Hie previous
finding of the weapon had escaped his
mind. Now he read, as clearly a« if
it had been printed in black-letter
across the sunny wall, the signifi
cance of the major’s confusion. That
weapon laid been in his father’s hand
when he had faced hie opponent in
that fetal duel! It flashed across his
mind a m the doctor lunged for his hat
and otlck and got to his feet.
"Come, Brietow.” said the latter tr*

Tells Judge
WHEATON, lIL, Nov. 12.—Henry
Spencer, “confessed” wholesale mur
derer, on trial here for the killing of
Mrs. Mildred Allleon-Rexroat Chicago
tango teacher, created a scene when
court convened today, by flooring his
attorney. Anton Zemon. of Chicago,
with two heavy blows and shouting
that ha waa “damned tired of this
delay.” Sheriff Kuhn and two dep
uties overpowered the prisoner, and
bald him In hie chair.
“I don’t need an attorney,” scream
ed the opium fiend. T can ba fey
own attorney, and this gink la wast
ing too much time getting a jury. I’m
Spencer, the killer. I committed ev
ery crime you read about in the news
papers. I killed this tango teacher
and drank some of her blood. Come
on, let’s get that damned jury and
hare It ever with.”
Held feat la his chair by the dep
uties, Spencer continued to hurl pro
fane epithets at Judge Sluaser, the
Jury and his attorney, until several
women la the room fled.
"You’re got as much brains s« a
sack of sawdust.” he shouted at Judge
Sluaser. “You've got 11 Juror* here.
Now put a woman on as foreman and
we’U get things started.”
Zemon moved hit chair several
yards from that of his client, after
the attack, and continued examination
of veniremen. The ISth juror waa
selected Just before noon.
During a short recess, several wit
nesses, Including Captain Halpln, of
the Chicago detective department, and
Mrs. W. R. Patterson, whose tip led
the police to arrest Spencer, entered
the room. Spencer spied Mrs. Patter
son and hurled obscene oaths at her,
until she hurried from the room.
