the doorway, that you are familiar
with the circumstances of that old af-
fair, as you term it,"
The lady bridled. Her passages at
arms with the doctor did not invaria
bly, tend to sweeten her disposition.
I'm sure l only know what people
say" she said.

cibiy. Just another name for a. com.
munity that's a perfect sink Of mean
ness and malice. If one believed all
he heard here he'd quit speaking to
his own grandmother"
You will admit, suppose" said
Mrs. Clifford with some spirit, that
the name Valiant isn't what it used
to be in this neighborhood?"
Il will, madam" responded the doc
tor when Valiant left this place Ca

however, would seem to imply de.

saragely. NO doubt he imagines he's

eye had caught through the window q
squirt Of something dashing and vivid,
that grazed the corner Of far.off
field. He craned his neck, but it had
passed the line Of his vision. Tho
next moment, however, there came
trailing on the satiny stiffness the
,high-keyed ululation Of horn, and an
instant later q long g-drawn hallo-o.o!
mixed with q pattering chorus of
yelps.
He went close, and leaning from the
sill, shaded his eyes with his hand
The noise swelled and rounded in vol
ume; 1t was nearing rapidly AS he
looked the hunt dashed into full view
between the tree-boles-a galloping
melee Of khaki and scarlet, swarming
across the fresh green Of wheat
Held behind a spotted swirl of hounds
"Confound it," said John Valiant
bellgerently; they're on my land!"
They were near enough now for him
to hear the voices Of the men, calling
encouragement to the dogs, and to see
the white ribbons Of foam across the
TANKS of the laboring horses. One
lscarlet-coated feminine rider, detached
from the bunch, had spurred in ad.
vance and was leading by a clean hun
dred yards, bareheaded, her hat fallen
back to the limit Of its ribbon knottcd
under her chin, and her waving hair
cleaning like tarnished gold.
"How she rides!" muttered the soli-
tary watcher. "Cross-saddle, of course,
the sensible little sport! She'll
never in the world do that waI1i-Vea
by George!" John Valiant's admira-
tion turned to delight why" he
said, "it's the Lady-of-the Roses!"
He put his hands on the sill and
,yaulted to the porch.

CHAPTER xI.
Sanctuary.


The tawny scudding streak that led
that long chase had shot into the yard,
turning for last desperate double.
1T saw the man in the foreground and
ats bounding, agonized little wild heart
that 80 prayed for life gave way.
With final effort, it gained the porch
and crouched down in it's corner, an
abject, sweated, hunted morsel, at
hopeless bay.
Like flash, Valiant stopped, caught
the shiyering thing by the scruff, and
as its swapping jaws grazed his thumb.
dropped 1t through the open window
behind him: Sanctuary quoth he,
and banged the shutter to.
At the same instant, as tho place
overflowed with pandemonium of
nosing leaping hounds, he saw the
golden chestnut reined sharply down
among the ragged box-rows, with q
shamefaced though brazen knowledge
that the girl who rode it had seen.
She sat moveless, her head high,
one hand on the hunters foam-necked
neck, and their glances met like
crossed swords. The look stirred
something vague and deep within him.
For an unforgettable instant their
eyes held each other, in gaze rigid,
challenging, almost defiant; then It
broke and she turned to the rest of
the party squirting in a galloping zig
gag: genial-faced man of middle age
IN Khaki who sat his horse like O
cavalryman, younger one with a
RECKLESS dark face and straight black
hair, and following these a half-dozen
youthful riders Of both sexes, one OF
the lads heavily plastered with mud
from wet cropper and the girls
chiefly gasps and giggles.
The elder Of the two men pulled up
beside the leader, his astonished eyes
sweeping the house-front. with It's
open blinds, the wisp Of smoke curling
from the kitchen chimney. He said
something to her, and she nodded.
inc younger man, meanwhile, had
hung himself from his horse, wild
eyed roam, and with his arm thrust
Through its bride, strobe forward
'among the welter of hounds, where
they scurried at fault, hither and
thither, yelping and eager.
What rotten luck!" he exclaimed.
i"Gone to ground after twelve miles!
After him, Tawny! You mongrels!
Do you imagine he's up q tree? After
him, Bulger! Bring him here!"
He glanced up, and for the first time
saw the figure in tweeds looking on.
Valiant was attracted by his face, its
dash and generosity everything its in
Iherent DrOfligacy and Weaknesa Dark
'as the girl was light, his features had
the same delicate chiseling the in
breeding, nobility and indulgence of
generations. He stared moment,
,and the somewhat supercilious look
travelled over the gazer, from dusty
boots to waving brown hair.
"Oh!" he said. His view slowly
took in the evidences Of occupation.
THE house Is open, see. Going to
get 1t fit for occupancy, presume?"
"Yes."
The other turned. "Well, Judge
Chalmers, what do you think OF that !?
The unexpected has happened at last"
lie looked at the porch. who's to
occupy it?''
"Tho owner
wonders will never ceasem said
tho young man easily, struggling.
We'll our quarry Is here somewhere.
From the way the dogs act should
say he's bolted into the house. With
your permission I'll take one OF them
in and see." He stopped and snapped
leash on dog collar.

CHAPTER X.
The Hunt.

The Hunt.
He awoke to a musical twitterine
land chirping, to find the sun pouring
into the dusty room in very glory.
He rolled from the blanket and stood
upright, filling his lungs with long
ideep breath of satisfaction. He felt
Isngularly light-hearted and alive. The
bulldog came bounding through the
window, dirty from the weeds, and
flung himself upon his master in a
lcanine rapture
Get out!" quoth the latter, laugh
ing. Stop licking my feet! How the
!dickens do you suppose I'm to get into
my clothes with your ridiculous antics
going on? Down, I say! Hark!" He
broke off and listened Who's that
singing?"
The sound drew nearer-a lugu.
brious chant, with the weirdest minor
reflections, family suggestive Of the
rag-tlme ditties Of the music.halls, yet
with plointive cadence.
Good morning, Uncle Jefferson"
The singer broke off, set down the
|twig.broom that he had been welding
and came toward him. "Mawnin, sub.
IMawnin'," he said "Hopes yo'-all
slep' good Ah reck'n dem ar birds
woke yo' up; dey's maxim sch er
fmiration."
THANK you. Never slept better in
my life. Am l laboring under a delu-
sion when ! imagine smell coffee?"
Just then there came a voice from
the open door Of the kitchen: Calls

through the door, with a good-natured

broadened into wide smile as it's

Judge Edward Swami of the court Of
general sessions of New York was ac-
credited in an interview the other day
with the following sentiment:
Il do not agree with those who call the
gangster the product of social conditions
What more can be done for these boys
than has been done? They will not obey
their parents. they will not go to school
and they cleave TO the doctrine that the
world owes them a living. which means,
of course, without working"
Judge Swanns opinion has the advan-
tage of being that of man closely face
10 face with actually. he handles real
flesh and blood criminals and does not get
his knowledge of them from books.
Yet one may sometimes be too close.
We need perspective as well as knowledge
OF detail In forming just conclusions.
The well balanced truth probabl. is that
environment and individual delinquency
are each partly to blame In the crea ton
OF the vicious person.
How much we owe to other people and
to conditions surrounding us we can
never estimate. but most of US confess
that 1t Is considerable.

lily where your father was a brutal al

of crime at your most receptive age:
where the coarsest forms and terms OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS were the daily amusement
of all about you; where the whole at

sneering at any virtue, self-restraint in

temptible weakness?
