By the breeze dilly-dallyin' past
While ihs quail's meller hle stirred the
echoes to life.
An the drum o the pheasant beat time,
An all nature was gay in respect for the
day
An the weather was proper an prime.
Long the broad county road ratified load

Little rosy-cheeked girls all in Aounces an

Little boy. dressed in gay eot,onade;
Happy sweethearts an beaus. older folks

Lookin' ever so starehy an gum;
An the teams all a-pranee in a side
sieppin' dance.
To the tune o the fife an the drum.
Down the long Bailey hill. past the oil
Newsome mill.
Gross the creek an turn to the
right
An the grounds an the stand an the
crowds was at hand
An the whole celebration in sight.

An the children. the birds an the bees,
In q frolicsome way spent the sunshiny

In the shade o the shelterins trees.
There was visions an dreams there was

little distance stood the Frenchman,
Count du Chatelet, exchanging few
hurried words with the whiskered

Into the air with its precious freight.
A horrified gasp and groan went up
from the crowd. Everybody, includ-

seemed rooted to the spot "Out OF
the way there!" shouted a voice in
imperious command, and bare
headed man came dashing through
the crowd with the speed of the wind
With mighty, upward leap he caught
the end of the dangling rope before IL
could pass beyond his reach. Cling

scarcely larger than a child's top In

keenest vision saw the man pull him

standing erect In the automobile.

and were on hand to congratulate It's
occupants on their return to terra

and fearful, but apparently happy.
Presently Capt Keene drew Maxwell
aside and said, In a confidential tone:

Bandalia Country club, over In Vir-
ginia, where he planned TO pass
quiet day on the links. Yet Marina
duke Keene was no stranger TO wars
alarms His ear was accustomed to
martial music and the deafening din
of carnage Indeed, his first mad act
after escaping from college was to
fare forth In a very successful search
for experience He was soldier OF
fortune In South Africa, in Manchuria,
and in the Philippines; he explored
far-away countries at the peril OF his
life. and sailed the seas on dangerous
illlbustering expeditions: only return
ing to the United States and to the
District OF Columbia when summoned
by the illness of his mother. He was
then just 30. with the worldly expert
ence of a man of 60.
Handsome, athletic, resolute. man
of unusual impulses and cool audacity,
he was possessed of a spirit that en-
abled him to brush aside obstacles
and hew his way to success in any
undertaking But Capt. Keene was
human, and his return to America
sealed his fate and put an end to his
globe-trotting At the inaugural ball
which he was induced to attend, he
met the beautiful and accomplished
Marjory Ames, and surrendered to
her without struggle. Miss Ames
was the ward OF the rich and influen
tial Senator Hockheimer. and was the
social attraction OF the season In
Washington. Capt Keene danced
with her, talked with her. monopo.
! lized her, and resolved In his heart
| to marry her. The chance OF failure
did not enter into his calculations II
did not matter to him that Miss
Ames had a hundred ardent suitors,
or that one of them, a dark-skinned,
blue.blooded foreigner attached to the
French legation. might be regarded as
a dangerous rival, to say the least,
since gossip had II that he was al
ready engaged to the brilliant Ameri.
can heiress.
few days after the ball Senator
Hockheimer and his charming ward
in company with gay party of ex
cursionists, departed ON a trip to Vel
lowstone park and the Pacific coast
As Count du Chatelet disappeared q
week later, Keene shrewdly guessed
that he had followed them. AS q
matter of fact. the love-smitten cap
tain was possessed of a similar incli

pertaining to the family estate kept
