The Green Knight.

The Duchess of Breakwater had
made Dan promise at Osdene the day
he went back to London that he
would take her over to her own place,
Stainer Court, and with her see the
beauty, ruins and traditions Of the
place.
When Dan got up we'll on In the
morning, Ruggles had gone to the
bank. Dams thoughts turned from
everything to Lefty Lane. With irri.

The color rushed into Dams face.

shoulders. She could feel his rapid
breath.

The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony CHANGED to notice
the page on which the lad had been

CHAPTER xI-con:Inued.

She did not appear to hear him. In.
deed she was not looking at him, and
Dan saw Prince Poniotowsky making
J his way toward their table across the
room.
Lefty Lane rose. Dan put her cloak
about her shoulders, and glancing to-
ward Ruggles and toward the boy as
indifferently as she had considered
the newcomers, who formed small
group around the brilliant figure OF
the actress, she nodded good night to
both Ruggles and Blair and went up
to the Hungarian as though he were
her husband. who had come to take
her home. However, at the door she
sufficiently shook of her mood to
smile slightly at Dan:
"I0have had lots Of fun and the
Scotch broth was great! Thank you
both so much"
Until they were up In their sitting
room her hosts did not exchange a
word. Then Ruggles took a book up
from the table and sat down with his
cigar. II am going to read a little

And Dan fumed as he turned MS
back. "Expensive! There you are
again, Ruggles, with your internal In.
trusion Of money into everything

When the older man found himself
alone, he read little and then put
his book down to muse. And his med.
itations were on the tide Of life and
the beds It runs over; the living whirl-
pool as Ruggles himself had seen 1t
coursing through London under fog
and mist. II seemed now to surge up
In the dark to his very windows. and
the flow mysteriously passed under

not like skeptic who would 1T
every one into his pigeonholes-on
the contrary. he waited to find every
one as perfect as he knew they must
be, and every time he tried to think OF
Lefty Lane, Poniotowsky troubled him
horribly and seemed to rise before
him. and sardonically look at him
through his eye.slass, making the
boys belief In good things ridiculous.
He wrote a note to Ruggles. saying
that he would be back late and not to
wait for him. and set out In his own
car for Blankshire. where the duch.
ess was to meet him at Stainer Court
at noon. On his way out he decided
that he had been a fool to discuss Let.
ty Lane with the Duchess of Breakwa-
ter. and that 1t had been none Of his
business to put her duty before her,
and that he had judged her quickly
and unfairly. He fell in love with the
lovely English country over which his
motor took him. and 1t made him
more atfectionate toward the English
woman. He sat back in his car, look
ing over the fine shooting land, the
misty golden forests. as through the
misty country his motor took Its way.
The breath Of England was on his
cheeks. he breathed in its odors fresh
and sweet, the wildness air was cool
and fragrant. His cheeks grew red,
his eyes shone like stars. and he was
content with his youth and his lot.
When they stopped at Castelen, the
property belonging to Stainer Court,
he felt something Of proprietorship
stir In him. and at Stainer Arms or
dered drink, bought petroleum. and
then pushed up the avenue under the
leafless giant trees, whose roots were
older than his fathers name or than
any state Of the Union. And he felt
admiration and something like emo
ton as he saw the first towers Of
Stainer Court finally appear.

room known as the Green knights

about the time when Isabelle was

loomed up for the world In general
out Of the mist. The subject Of the
Green Knights tapestry was simple
and convincing. On a sheer-cut vii.
lage of low ferns. where daisies stood
up like trees. slender lady poised
her dark sandaled feet on the pin-like
turf. Her figure was all swathed
round with spotless dress Of woolly
white, softened by age into golden
misty tone. and pair Of friendly and
confidential rabbits sat close to her
golden slippers. The lady's face was
candid and mild; her eyes were soft.
and around her head was wound a
f1llet Of woven threads. mellow In
tone. red. no doubt, originally. but
softened to coral pink by time. This
lady in all her grace and virginal
sweetness was only half Of the woven

too, at the same magic moment.
Close to the tapestry a fire had been
laid In the broad fireplace. and the
duchess had ordered the luncheon
table for Dan and herself spread with
the cold things England knows how
to combine into a delectable feast.
The room was full Of medieval fur.

the best OF all. The Duchess Of Break
water took him for granted. She had
known him all her life. and she had
only been struck by his expensive
beauty when the offer came to her
from the National Museum to buy
him. and she wondered how long she
could afford to stick to her price.

Dan looked at the clock; It was aft
or nine. and she would be at the Gale
ty going on with her performance.
The other note, which he opened
more slowly. was from Ruggles. and It
began In just the same way as the
dancers had begun:

Ruggles left no word Of advice. and
unconscious Of this master stroke on
the part Of the old man, whose heart
yearned for him as for bis own son,
Dan folded the note up and thought
no more about Ruggles.
When an hour later nc came out Of
the Carlton he was prepared for the
life Of the evening. He stopped at
the telephone desk and sent tele-
gram to Ruggles on the Lusitania:
