There was something perilously like a

nance and that stirred Norman Holt almost
as did the words OF the cadet lieutenant
he had challenged and fought not three
months agone, something almost like a
dare" that In boyhood days every lad of
spirit so surely resented. Moreover, to
the sensitive borderer, southern in tenn
perament, sympathies and mode of life, yet
devoted to the flag, the question meant far
more. 1t involved infinitely graver sscri-

would not be daunted She was angry when
he stole that kiss, yet II was anger at her
self only She wished him to know he
should not have sought It. She had
thought twice. thrice OF telling her
mother she ought not to go to
Belleview even to welcome Norman, but
the mother had set her heart upon 1t.
She had heard Of young Malloy while in
Cincinnati and heard OF associations that
made her marvel he could set foot within
the doors OF Belleyiew. but here again was
the Kentucky code. Malloy was there and
well accredited. He was the Doctors guest
and even to Henry. who appealed to her,
she shut her lips as to anything she knew
against him. From her and from others
whom he knew In Cincinnati Henry could
learn nothing tangible to Malloy's disad
vantage, save that he was his fathers son
and had some time since been somewhat
wild. Now, with abundant means. he was
welcomed In many houses, He would have
