CHAPTER xxi.
A vIrqInIan Runnymede.


June in Virginia is something to
remember" Today the master of
Damory Court deemed this a true say
ing. For the air was like wine, and
the drifting white wings of cloud, piled
above the amethystine ramparts of the
far Blue Ridge, looked down upon a
violet world bound in green and silver.
In his bedroom Valiant stood look
ing into the depths of an ancient ward
robe. Presently he took from a hook
q suit of white flannel in which he ar
rayed himself. Over his soft shirt he
knotted a pale gray scarf. The modish
white suit and the rolling Panama
threw out in fine contrast the keen
sun-tanned face and dark brown eyes.
In the hall below he looked about
him with satisfaction. For the last
three days he had labored tirelessly to
fit the place for the evenings event.
The parlor now showed walls trimmed
with straight-back chairs and the
grand piano-long ago put In order
had been relegated to the library. That
instinct for the artistic, which had
made him a last resort in the vexing
problems of club entertainments, had
aided him in the Courts adornment.
Out of the kitchens Cassandra's
egg-beating chatted like a watchman's
rattle, while Aunt Daphne put the fin
ishing touches to an array of lighter
edibles destined to grace the long Ia
BILE on the real porch, now walled in
with snow-white muslin and hung with
candle-lusters. Under the trees Uncle
Jefferson was even then experimenting
with various punch compounds, and a
delicious aroma Of vanilla came to Va
liant's nostrils.
The Red Road, as Valiant's car
passed, was dotted with struggling Pc
destrians: humble country folk who
trudged along the grassy foot-path
with no sullen regard for the swift
cars and comfortable carriage that
left them behind; sturdy ~barefooted
children who called shrilly after him,
and happy-go-lucky negro youths clad
In their best with Sunday shoes dan
Cling over their shoulders, %slouching
re~gardlessly in the dust-all bound for
the same Mecca, which presently rose
before him, a gateway of painted can

opened Runnymede.
He halted his a at the end of the
field and snapped a leash In the bull
dogs collar. Il hate to do it, old
man." he said alphabetically to Chum's
reproachful look, "but I've got to.

are the enduring glories of the knight
hood of Virginia."
Over the ringing applause, Nancy
Chalmers looked at him with a little
smile, quizzical yet soft. Dear old
MAORI" she whispered to Betty Page.
How he loves the center of the stage!
And he's effective, too. Thirty years
ago, father says, he might have been
anything he wanted to-even United
States Senator. But he would never
leave the state. Not that / blame him
for that" she added; I'D rather be a
church-mouse in Virginia than Crnsus'
daughter anywhere else"
The twelve horsemen were nov sit
ting their FESTIVE mounts in a group
at one end of the lists. Two mounted
monitors had stationed themselves on
either side of the r~ope-barriert a third
stood behind the upright froil whose
arm was suspended the sill er ring.

And now over the fluttering stand
and the crowd about the barriers, a
stir was discernible. Katharine looked
again at the field. "Who is that SPLEEN

one who looks like a lion. He's COM

me knIaht Of the Crimson Ros

The Knight of the Crimson Rose.
The row of horsemen had halted in
a curving line before the grand stand,
and now in the silence the herald,
holding a parchment scroll, spurred
before each rider in turn, demanding
his title. AS this was given he
whirled to proclaim 1t, accompanying
each evolution with q blast on his
horn. "Knight of the Golden Spur"
Knight Of Castlewood," Lord of
Brandon" "Westover's knight"
Knight of the Silver Cross: the
names, fanciful. or those of family es-
tates, fell on John Valiant's ear with
a pungent flavor Of medievalism. He
started as he became aware that the
rider next him had answered and that
the herald had paused before him.
Knight of the Crimson Rosei" 1t
sprarg to his lips without forethought,
an echo, perhaps, of the i~mprovised
sash and the flower In his hat-band,
but the shout of the herald and the
trumpet's blare seemed to make the
words fairly bulge with inevitability.
And through this struck a sudden ap-
palled feeling that he had really
spoken Shirley's name, and that every
one had heard. He could not see her
face, and clutched his lance f~iercely
to overcome an insane desire to stoop
hideously in his saddle and peer un,
der the shading hat-brim. Lest he
should do this, he fastened his ayes
determinedly on the major. who now
proceeded to deliver himself of the
Charge to the Knights"
The major made an appealing CEN
ter to the charming picture as he
stood On the green turf, "the glass
Of fashion and the mold of FORM" his
head bare, his shock of blond-gray
hair thrown back, and one hand thrust
between the buttons of his snowy
waistcoat. His rich bass voice rolled
out to the farthest corner of the field:
"Sir Knights:
"The tournament to which we are
gathered today is to us traditional; a

ancient generations. This relic of the
