TIL the sun was high John Valiant
lay on his back In the fragrant grass,
meditatively watching a b%ucaneering
ehicken-hawk draw widening circles
against the blue and listening to the
vibrant tattoo of a "pecker-wood" on
q far-away tree, and the timorous wet
whistle Of a bob-white. The whole
place was very quiet now. For just
one thrilling moment it had %burgeoned
INTO sound and movement: when the
Dweaty horses had stood snorting and
stamping In the yard with the hounds
s~campering between their legs and the
r1ding-cOats winking like rubies in the
early sunshine!

At length he rose and went back
TO the house. With a bunch Of keys

after some difficulty gained access,
and propped the crazy doors and win
dows open to the sun. The building
was airy and well-lighted and con-
tanned q dozen roomy box-stalls, a
spacious loft and a carriage-house.

SYNOPSIS.

John Valiant, a rich society favorite.
suddenly discovers that the Valiant cor
poration. which his father founded and
which was the principal source Of his
wealth. has failed. He voluntarily turns
over his private fortune to the receiver
Tor the corporation. His entire remaining
possessions consist of an old motor car, a
white bull dog and Damory court. q neg
lectcd estate In Virginia. On the way to
Damory court he meets Shirley Dand-
ridge. an authenticated beauty, and de-
cides that he Is going to like Virginia Inn
mensely. Shirley's mother. Mrs. Dand-
ridge. and Major Bristow exchange rem
iniscences during which 1t is revealed
that the major. valiant's father. and a
man named Sassoon were rivals for the
hand of Mrs: cambridge in her youth.
6assoon and Valiant fought a duel IN her
account In which the former was killed.
Valiant finds Damory court overgrown
with weeds and creepers and the build
lngs In s very much neglected condition.
Valiant explores his ancestral home. He

Good h~eayens." he cried. You
don't think you can't go right on TAX

with the whole garden any time!''
A droll little CLEAN of azure mis-
chief darted at him suddenly out of
her eyes and Their lodged back again.
Aren't you just a little rash with
other peoples property"
Other people's?"
What will the owner say"
He bent back one Of the long jessa-
mine stems and wound 1t around the
others. Il can answer for him. Be

For just an instant the bronze-gold
head gave a quick imperious toss, like
a ~high-mettled pony under the flick
Of the whip. But as suddenly the
shadow of resentment passed; the
mobile face under the bent hat-brim
turned thoughtful. She looked again
at him. DO you think it's wrong to
kill things?" she asked gravely.
"Oh, dear, no." he smiled. Il
haven't a single ism. I'm not even a
vegetarian"
But you would be If you had to kill
your own meat!"
Perhaps. So many Of us would.

afraid" She turned the conversation
bluntly. Had you seen Damory
Court before?"
No, never"
do you like the general plan OF the
placer"
DO I like it," cried John Valiant.
DO l like it,"
A quick pleasure glanced across her
face. IT'S nice Of you to say 1t that
way. We ask that question so often
It's become mechanical. You see. it's
our great show-place."
At that moment q patter of foot
steps and shrill shrieks came flying
Owe the ~last-year's leaves beyond the
lilac bushes, It's Hickey Snyder" she
said, peering out smilingly as two
children, pursued and pursuer, burst
into view. "Hush!" she whispered;
Il wonder what they are up to-"
The pair came in a whirl through
the bushes. The foremost was a
seven-year-old negro girl, in a single
short cottonade garment, wizened,
b~arelegged and bareheaded, her black
wool parted in little angular patches
and tightly wrapped with bits OF cord.
The other IA white and as freckled
as a turkeys egg, with hair cropped
like a boys. She held a carving
knife cut from 4 shingle, whose edge
had been deeply ensanguined by poke
berry juice. The pursued one STUN
bied over a root and came to earth in
a heap, while the other bounced upon
her like a wildcat.
Hold still, you limb Of Satan" she
scolded. How can l do 1t when you
won't stay still?"
"Oh, laWd," moaned the PROSTATE
one, in simulated terror; "oh, Doctah,

A twig snapped under valiant's foot.
Both scrambled to their feet, the black
girl to look at them with a wide self
conscious grin. Hickey, tossing her
short hair back from her freckled
face. came toward them.
MY goodness. Miss Shirley" she
said. I'VE didn't see you at all" She
looked at Valiant. Are you the man
that's going to fix up Damory Court?"
she inquired, without any tedious for.
malities.
Yes said Valiant.
Well she said critically, you've
got your job cut out for you. But
should say you're the kind to do It,"
Hickey" Shirley's voice tried to
be stern. but there was a hint OF
laughter in it.

Hickey. I'm sure | meant it to be
