His coat was of dark, rich material, his waistcoat white with stripes of yellow, and his stock was of white silk, while his collar, frills and wristbands were Of delicate cambric. With head erect, chin held high, he sauntered toward them slowly, indolently.
 Father O'Mara watched him closely He was wont to read men by their faces, yet here was one that puzzled him. He was worried a little, but nothing of his features might have shown. Entering the room, M. Raou1 de Va. lette turned to his cousin, lowing elab- orately.
 "At yourN command, behold me-" he said. His voice was well modulated. It was a voice that, even as his face, puzzled.
 De valette turned to the priest, then back to his cousin.
 "M, Raou1 de Va1ette, have the honor co present to you Father Joseph O'Mara, abbe of this parish.''
 Raoul acknowledged the introduction with formality. the priest with dignity O'Mara said:
 "You are of the younger branch of the family, believe. sir.''

 'sNone the less of purest strain.'' as- serted De Valette. "M. Raoul de Va 1ette is the namesake of that other Raoul de Valette whose portrait lies yonder''-he indicated to where upon the wall rested a time dimned figure of oils-''to my mind the greatest of our ancestors
 Raoul threw back his head, lifting clean Hmned brows, with a touch of sardonicism.
 ''Eh-but with respect, my cousin" he protested. ''It was he who lost us our estate in France
