"It ha*— Iffc a void." «h*' said. tier ejr*»a atlll dowocaM, her voice juat low enough. " —for me." The major pounced upon them at thla juncture, feelingly accueing John of the nefarious design of robbing th*' •SHcmblage of its bright and particu lar star. When Katharine put her liand in her cavalier's arm. her eves were derwy under their long shading lashes and her fine lti>a ever so little - tremulous, it had been her best avail able moment, and she had usixl it. Aa ahe moved away, her faint color lllEhtiy she was ktlad ol the Interruption, it was bettor aR TT waa. When John Valiant came to her again. . . . But to him, as he stood watching her move lightly from him. there wtws vouchsafed illumination. It came to him suddenly that that placidity and hauteur which he had so admired in the old days were no mask, for tir* * within. The exquisite husk was the real Katharine. Hers was the loveli ness of some tall white lily cut in mailrie, splendid but chill. And with the thought , between him and he there ewopt through the shimmering candle-lighted air a breath of wet roee-fragrance like an impalpable cloud, and set in the midst of it a misty star-tinted gown sprayed with liliee-of-the-v alley, and above it a girl > face clear and vivid, her deop shadow - blue eyes fixed on bis. The music of a two-atep was lan guishing when, a little later. Valiant and Bhirlev strolled down between the garden box-hedges, cypress-shaped and lifting spire-like toward a sky which bent, a silent canopy of mauve and purplish blue. The moon drowsed between the trees like a great yellow moth, and the shadows of the branches lay on the ground like sharp bkiiah etchings on light green paper, j Behind them Damory Court lay a neat, Os woven music aiid laughter. The i long whke-muslined porch shimmered j golden ly. and beside it under the lan terns dallied a flirtatious couple or two, ghostlike in the shadows. Peace brooaed over all, a vast gweet silence creeping through the trees — only here and there the twitter of a waking .bird —and around them was the glimmer of tall flowers standing like pensive moon worshipers in an ecstasy of prayerless bloom. he said. me take you to see the gun-dial now." The tangle had been cut away and a narrow gravel-path led through the pruned creepers She made an ex clamation of delight The onyx-pillar stood in an oasis of white —moon flow ers, white dahlias, mignonette and narcissus; bars of late Ulies-of-the valley beyond these. Itordered with Arum-lilies, white clematis, iris and bridal-wreath, shading out into ten der pelei hues that ringed the spot less purity like dawning passion. ‘•White for happiness." he quoted. “You said that when you brought me here —the day we planted the ram-j biers. Do you remember what I said?| That some day. perhaps, I should love this spot the best of all at Damory Court.” He was sileut a moment, tracing with his finger the motto on the dial’s rim. "When 1 was very little," he went on, — hardly more than three years old, I think,— my father and I had a play, in which we lived in a great mansion like this, it was called Wiahing-House, and it was In the middle of the Never-Never Land — a sort of beautiful fairy coun try' In which everything happened right. I know now that the Never- Never was Virginia, and that Wishing-House was Damory Couri. No wonder my father loved It! No won der his memory turned back to it al ways! I’ve wanted to make it as it was when he lived here. And I want the old dial to count happy hours for me." Something had crept into hls tone that struck her with a strange swe terror and tumult of mind. The han . that clutched her skirts about her knees had begun to tremble and site caught the other hand to her cheek in a vague hesitant gesture. The nioonllow era seemed to be great round ! eyes aUrlng up at her. "Shirley— he raid, and now hi* | voice was shaken with longing—"will you make my happiness for me?"

While the vibrant strings hummed and sang through the roses, and th*' couples drifted on tireless and con tent, or blissfully sat out dances on the stairway, Katharine Fargo held her stately court no less gaily tor the stealthy doubt that was creeping o'er her spirit.

It was at I this moment that she saw. entering 'the 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 stiKHl closely, as lovers might. I But tiier** was in both their faces a | something that resurgent convention ality had not had time to eov-er —a j trembling reflection of that light that never was, on sea or land” —which , was like a dealii-stab to what lay far j deeper than Katharine's heart, her I pride. She drew swiftly back, dis mayed ai the sudden verification, and for an insrant her whole body chilled. A craving for a glass of water has r-erved its purpose a thousand times: j as her cavalier solicitously departed | to fetch the cooling draught, she rose, i and carelessly humming the refrain | the music had Just left off, sauntered lightly out by another door to the open air. A swift glance atom her showed her she was unobserved and vhe stepped down to the grnss and along the winding path to a bench at some distance In the shrubbery He.ro the smiling mask slipped from her face and with a shiver she dropped her hot face in her hands.

There w-as the gplf ting crackle of a match, and as she peered out its red flare lighted rhe massive face and floating hair of Major BrNtow. His companion's face was In the shadow. She waited, thinking they would pass: but to her annoyance, when she looked again, they had seated themselves on a bench a few* paces away. To be found mooning In the shrub bery like a schoolgirl did not pleas** her but it seemed there was no re course, and she had half arisen, when the major's gruff-voiced companion spoke an imp that caused her to sit down abruptly. To do Katharine jus tice, i* did not occur to %oer at the moment that ‘♦lie was eavesdropping. And such was the significance of the sentences she heard, and such their bearing on the turmoil of her mind, that a won; .nos more sensitive fiber •night have lingered "Bristow.

It's young VaJI-j ant." The pearl fan twisted in Katharine's finger*. What she had guessed was ( an open secret, then! The major made an exclamation j that had the effect of coming after a Jaw-dropped silence "f —\ never thought of that!" The other resumed slowly, some- j v hat bitterly, it seemed to the girl hrtenlnr. "If her mother was In love with Sassoon—" Katharine s he.i*-f beat fas’ and then Ftixxl still. Sassoon! That was the I name of the man Valiant's father had I killed in that old duel of which Judge Chalmers had told' "If her mother"! Shirley Handrldge’* mother—“was j in love wkh n*hy "Was she?" The major’s query held a sharpness that seemed almost appeal, she was conscious that the other had fared about abruptly "I’ve always believed so. certainly,! if sh» had loved Valiant, would she have thrown him over merely because he broke his promise not to be a j partv t«> a quarrel?"

She wasted little time. "It seems strange." she said, "to find our host in such surroundings! I can scarcely believe him the same John Valiant ! ve danced with a hun dred times with in New York. He's been here such a short while and yet lie couldn't possibly be more at home if he lived in Virginia always. And you all treat him as if he were quite one of yourselves Shirley smiled inchantfbgly “Why, yes.” she said, "maybe It seems odd to outsiders. But, you see. with us a Valiant is always a Valiant. No matter where he has lived, he's * tie son of his father and the master of Datnory Court.” "That's thp 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 nanus and think of them, no doubt, in the same way." What a sad life his father had’ * pursued Katharine dreamily. "You know all about the duel, of course?" Shirley shrunk imperceptibly now. The subject touched Valiant so close ly It seemed almost as 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." “No doubt it has been almost for gotten,' the other continued, “but Johns coming must naturally have revamped the old story. What was 1 It about —the quarrel? A love-affair?" f 1 lon’t think it is known." But reluctant coldness <Bd not deter the questioner "Who was it said there was a petticoat hark of every ancient war”" quoted Kath arine, lightly. "I fancy it's the same with the duello.
