Ho had bought hlmBelf almost a beggar, and icre In his hand was n small fortune! 'Talk about engagement rings!" he nuttered. "Why, a dozen of those ught to buy a whole tiara!" At length ho rose, and climbed on, presently turning at a right-angle to bisect tho strip to its boundary beforo ao paused to rest "I'm no timber cruiser," ho sold to himself as ho ivlpcd Ills brow, "but 1 calculnto there iro all of thrco hundred trees big inough to cut. Why, suppose they are vorth on nn nvcrage only a hundred ipieco. That would make Oood ord!" ho muttered, "and i'vo been nooning about poverty!" The growth wbb smaller and sparser low and beforo long he came, on the llll's very crest, to tho edgo of n agged clearing. It held a squalid set lenient, perhaps a score of dlrt-dnubed :ablns llttlo bettor than hovels, somo sf them moro mud-walled lean-tos, with sod roofs and window-panes of Sour-sacking. Fences nnd outhouses Ihcro was none. Littered paths ram bled aimlessly hither and thither from ship-strewn yards to starved patches of corn, under-cultivated and blighted. Over the wholo place hung an lnde icrlbablo atmosphero of disconsolate filth, of unredeemed squalor nnd vile-neia. With ono hand on tho dog's collar, bushing him to silence, Valiant, un seen, looked at tho wretched placo with a shlvor. Ho had glimpsed many wretched purlieus in tho slums of great oHIcb, but this, In tho open Biin light, with tho clean woods about It and tho sweet clear bluo abovo, stood out with an unrellovod boldness and contrast that was doubly slnlstor and forbidding. Ho know Instantly that the tawdry corner was tho community known as HollVHalf-Acro, the plnce to which Shirley had made her night rldo to rescuo Illckey Snyder. A quick glad realization of nor cour age rushed throunh him. On Its hcelB carao n feeling of shame that a spot liko this could exist, a foul blot on such a landscape It was on ins own land! Its denizens held place by squatter sovereignty, but ho was, novertholoss, their landlord. Tho thought bred a new senso of responsi bility. Something should be dono for them. too. As ho gazed, an uproar In a cabin reached a climax. A red-bearded fig tiro in nondescript garments Bhot from tho door and collapsed In a heap In tho dirt He got up with a dreadful oath a Jug thrown at him grnzlng blB templo as ho did so-and shaking his fist behjnd him, staggered Into a near-by lean-to. Valiant turned away with a feollng almost of nauBea, and plunged back down tho forost hlllsldo. CHAPTER yj. Tho Gardenoe. He saw them comliifa through the gnto on tho Hod Uoad-tho major and Shirley in a lllao muitln by his sldo and strodo to meet them, llehlnd thorn Ilanston propolled a handcart fillod with paper bundles from each of which protruded a bunch of flowering atoms. There was a flush In Shirley s cheek as her band lay In Valiants. As for hlra, his eyes, llko n wilful drunkards, returned again anu again, between tho major's compllmi-uts, to her face. "You havo accomplished wonders, nahl I had no Idea bo much could ho doe in such a limited time You havo certainly prlmpod tho old place up 1 could almost think I was look ing at Hamory Court In tho sixties, inli!" "That's quite the nlcost thing you oould havo said, Major." responded Va ant -Uut It needs tho flowers. Ho id at Shirley with sparkling .ros, "How splendid of you to bring lbo.nl I feel like a robbor "With our bushels of themt Jo .UAH never mias them at all Have rou sot out the others?" "I havo, indeed. Kvory one h" roU. to You shall see thorn." Ho led tho ay up the drlvo till they stood before tho porch. "Ond!" chuckled tho major. "Who would think it had been unoccupied, for threo decades? At this rate, you'll soon bo giving dnnces, sah" "Ah," said Valiant. "That's tho very thing I want to suggest. Tho tourna ment comes off next week. I under stand, and It's been tho custom to hao a ball that night. Tho tourney ground Is on this estate, and Dnmory Court Is handler than the Country Club. Why wouldn't It bo appropriate to hold tho dance here? Tho ground Moor rooms nro In order, nnd If tho young peoplo would put up with it, It would bo a great pleasure to mo, I as Btiro you." "Oh!" breathed Shlrloy. "That would bo too wonderful I" Tho major Belzed his hand nnd shook It heartily. "1 enn nnswer for the committee," ho said. "Thoy'll Jump at it. Why, snh, tho now gener ation hns nover set eyos Insldo tho Iioubo. It's a goldon legend to them." "Then I'll go ahead with arrange ments." Ho led thorn around tho house and down tho terraccB of tho formal gar den, and hero the major's encomiums broko forth again. "You are going to take us old folks back, sah," ho said with real feeling. "This gyarden In Its original lines was unique. It hnd n piquancy and a plcturesquencss that, thank Cod, nro to bo restored I Ono can understand tho owner of an es tuto llko this having no desire to spend his llfu phllandorlng nbroad. Wo nil hono, snh, that jou will rocur to the habit of your ancestors and count Damory Court homo." Valiant smiled slowly. "I don't dream of nnythlng elso," he snld. "My life, as I map It out, seems to begin here. Tho rest doesn't count only tho years when I was llttlo and had my father." Tho major carefully adjusted his cyo-glasses. His head was turned away. "Ah, yes." he said. "Tho last twenty years," continued tho other, "from my presont view point, are a!uablo mainly for con trast." "As a consistent regimen ol pate do fole gras," said Shirley qulizlcally, "makeB ono value bread and butter?" Ho shook his head at her. "As star vation makes ono appreciate plenty. The next twenty years nro to bo here. Hut they hold sldo-trlps, too. Now and then there's a Jaunt back to the city." "Contrast again?" she asked Inter- esttdly. "Yes and no. Yes, because no one who hns ever known that blazing clnnglng life can really understand tho peace und blessedness of a place like this No, because thero aro somethings which are to be found only thore. There aro the gal lories and the opera. I need a breath of thorn both." "And semi occasional longer flights, too," the major reflected. "A lookseo abroad onco In a bluo moon. Why not?" "Yes. For raontal photographs Im pressions ono can't got from between book-covers. There's an old cloister garden I know In Itnly and a particu lar river-bank In Japan In tho cherry blossom season, and a tiny Uland with afj He Leaned Slightly Toward Her, , On Hand on the Dial's Time-Notched Rim. n Greek castle on It In the Aegean. I.ittlo colored memories for mo to bring away to dream over, nut si wajs I come back here to Damory Court. For this Is-homo!" Thcy walked beneath tho pergola ,o the lake, where Shirley gave n cry of delight at sight of Its feathered popuKn. "Where did ,ou get them from?" she nskod. "Washington In crates. -That explains It." she exclaimed. Ono day last week the little darkles ,?ho vll ago all insisted a circus ; was coming They must have seen these bedng hauled here They watched no w olu afternoon the elephants Poor youngsters!" he said Its a Hhnmo to fool them Hut I've bad tt,Uhe circus I want getting tho live BkhoDy8woS:rfer." said the major -Illckoy Snydor'll got them up a threo r nged show at the drop of a hat and droo It herself Hesldos, there's touro amen da) c-omlng. and they can llr on that I sco you've dredged out .omo of tho lilies." "Yes. I tuk0 my j,, hcro 0ory morning "Wo used to hnvo a diving-board ben o were llttlo shavers." pursued tno major. "I remember onco, your father" Ho cleared his throat and stoppod dead. "l'lcnse," paid John Valiant. "I I like to henr about him." "It was only that I struck my head on a rock on tho bottom and stayed down. Tho others were frightened, but he he dovo down again nnd again till ho brought me out It was a nar row squeak. I reckon" A silence fell. Looking At the tall muscular form besldo hor, Shlrloy had n sudden vision of a determined llttlo body cleaving tho dnrk wntor. over nnd over, now rising panting for breath, now plunging ngnln, nover giv ing up. And she told horaolf thnt the Bon was tho same sort. That hard set of the Jaw, those Arm lips, would know no flinching Ho might suhcr, but ho would bo strong. Half unconsciously sho spoko hor thought aloud: "You look llko your father, do )ou not?" "Yes." ho replied, "there's n strong likeness I havo a photograph which I'll show you sometime Hut how did you know?" "Perhaps 1 only guessed," she snld In somo confusion To cover this sho stooped by tho pebbly margo and hold out her hand to tho bronze ducks thnt pushed nnd gobbled nbout her fingers. "What havo lou named them?" sho asked. "Nothing. You christen them." "Very well Tho light ono shall be Peczlctreo nnd tho dnrk ono l'llgar lie. I got tho names from John Jnspor he wos Virginia's famouB negro preacher. I onco heard him hold forth when he read from ono of the Psalms the one nbout tho harp and tho psaltery and ho called It poozlotroo." Vallant'B laugh rang out ovor tho lake to be answerod by a sudden sharp screech from tho terrace, where the peacock strutted, a blazo of span gled purplo nnd gold. They turned to see Aunt Dnphno issue from the kitchen, twig-broom In hand. "Heahl" she exclaimed. "What fo ro' kyahln' on llko or wil' gyraff wo'n wo Bot comp'ny, yo' trlflln' ol' fan tall, yol Git outen heah!" Sho waved her weapon nnd tho bird, with a raucous shriek of defiance, retired In ruffled disorder. Tho master of Damory Court looked at Shlrloy. "What shall wo name him?" "I'd call him Flre-Crackor if he goes off like thot," sho said. And Fire Cracker tho bird was chrlstenod forth- with. "And now," said Shlrloy, "let's set out the ramblers." Tho major had brought a rough plan, sketched from memory, of the old ar rangement of tho formal garden. "I'll Just go over the lines of tho bods with Unc' Jefferson," ho proposed, "whilo you two pottar over these roBes." So Valiant and Shirley wnlked back up the slope beneath tho pergola to gether. With Itnnston, puDlng nnd blowing llko n black porpolso over IiIb creak ing go-cart, they planted tho ramblers crimson nnd pink nnd white Va liant much of tho tlmo on his Unecs, his hands plunging deep Into tho black spongy earth, and Shlrloy with broad hat flung on tho grnss. her fingers separating the clinging thrend-llko roots and her small arched foot tamp ing down tho soil nbout them. Her hair tho color of wot raw wood in tho sunlight was very near tho brown head and somotlmos tholr flngerH touched ovor tho work. Onco, ns they stood up, flushed with tho oxorclse, a great black and orange butterfly, dazed with tho sun-glow, alighted on Valiant's rollod-up sleeve. Ho held his arm perfectly still and blow gently on tho wnvorlng pinions till It swam away. When a rcdblrd flirted by, to his delight sho whistled Its call so perfectly that It wheclod In mid-flight nnd tilted Inquiringly back toward them. As they dosconded the terraco again to tho pergoln, ho said, "There's only ono thing lacking at Damory Court a sun-dial." "Then you haven't found It?" sho cried delightedly. "Come and let me show you." Sho lod tho way through the maze of beds at ono side till thoy reached a hedgo lacod thickly with Virglnln croepor. He parted this leafy screen, bonding back tho springing fronds that thrust agaiist tho flimsy muslin of hor gown nnd threatened to spear tho plnk-rosed bat that cast an ndor able warm tint ovor her creamy faco, thinking that noyor had tho old placo soon such a plcturo as sho made framed In tho doep groon. Somo such thought was In the ma jor's mind, too, ub ho camo slowly up tho torraco below. Ho paused, to tako off hla hot and wipe his brow. "With tho placo all fixed up this way," ho sighed to himself, "I could bellovo it was only last week that Hoauty Vallont and Southall and I woro boys, loafing around this gyar den. And to think that now It's Va liant's son nnd Judith's daughter! Why, It seems llko yosterday that Shlr loy there was only knee high to a grasshopper and I used to tell her lisr hair wss that color becauss he run through hell bareheaded. I'm nbout a thousand ears old, I reckon!" Meanwhile tho two figures abovo hnd pushed through tho tanglo Into n circular Bunny space whero stood n Bhort round pillar of red onyx. It was n sundial, its vino-clad disk cut of gray polished stono In which Its motal tongue- wns Bockoted Hound tho outor odgo of tho disk ran an Inscription In nrchalo loitering. Valiant pulled away tho clustering Ivy leaves and read: "I count no hours but tho hap py ones." "If that had only boon truol" ho said. "It Is true. Soo how tho vines hid tho sun from It. It censed to mark tho tlmo nftor tho Court was do Borled," "I'll put moonflowcrn nt Its base and whorp you nro standing, Madonun lilies. Tho outer part of tho circle shall have bridal-wreath and whlto Irises, and thoy shnll shade out into paBtol colors mauvcB and grays and heliotropes. Oh, 1 shall lovo this spot! perhaps sometlmo tho best of nil." "Which do you lovo tho most now?" Ho lennod slightly townrd her, ono hnnd on tho dial's time notched rim. "Don't you know?" ho Bald In a lower volco. "Could any other spot menn to mo what that aero under the homlocks means?" Hor faco was turned from him, her lingers pulling nt tho drifting vine, und n Bpltnter of sunlight tangled lu her hnlr llko a laco of fireflies. "I could novor forgot It," ho con tinued. "The thing that spoiled my father's llfo happenod thero, yet thero wo two first talkod, and thero you " "Don'tl" sho said, facing him, "Don't!" "Ah, let mo speak! I wnnt to toll you that I shall carry tho memory of thnt aftarnoon, nnd of your bravo kind ness, alwnys, always! It I wcro never to seo you again in this llfo, I should nlwaya treasure it.

Shirley drow back. Tho soft gontlnn bluo of hor eyes darkened. The lips thnt an Instnnt before had been tremulous, partod In a low delicious laugh. Sho swept him a deep curtsey. "I am beholden to you, sir," sho snld gaily, "for a most knightly com pliment. Thore's tho major. Como and let us show him whero wo'vo planted tho ramblers." CHAPTER XXI. Tournament Day. The noon sun of tournament day shono brilliantly ovor tho villngo, drowsy no longer, for many vehicles were hitched nt tho curb, or movod leisurely along tho leafy streot: big, canvas topped country wagons drawn by shaggy-hoofed horses and sot with chairs that bumped and Jostled tholr holldny loads from outlying tobacco plantation and stud farm; sobor, black covered buggies, long narrow, spring less buckboards, frivolous sldobar run abouts an antique shays resurrected from tho primeval depths of cob webbed stables, relics of tarnished grand our and faded fortune At midday vehicles resolved thorn- a. ,, fcolves Into luncheon-booths hampers i. i stowed nway beneath tho scnts, dls- . .'j closing all manner of picnic edibles , tho court-housa yard waa an nrray of grass spread tabto cloths, and an nlr ? i of plenty reigned, p Within Mrs. Merryweather Mason's ' i brown house hospitality sat enthroned ' and the generous dining-room wns : ' hold by a regiment of femlnlno out-of- ;' town acquaintances.

Political rancor was at Its holght when Androw Jackson votoed the bill renewing the charter of tho United States bank and romovod tho treasury deposits, under which opposition tho bunk collupsed and n vast number of stnto banks compotod for tho busi ness, which included tho Issuo of bank notes. In 1837 thero woro C31 banks, with an nggrogato couital of $291. 000,000. In tho history of banking tho yoar of 1837 is prominent fer ono of tho worst panics that wos ovor known In America, which resulted In tho falluro of many banks and a universal suspen sion of spoclo payments throughout tho country, which woro not renewed until ovor a year and a half later, says tho National Magazine. During this trying period, when banking opera tions were practically wiped out of oxtstonco, all tho banks but thrco con tinued doing business in Doston.
