A Valiant of VIRGINIA.

] - VALIANT VI NlTStUid.
For a long time John Valiant sal
motionless, the opened letter in his
hand, staring at nothing. He had the
| sensation, spiritually, of traveller
awakened with rude shock amid
wholly unfamiliar surroundings.
He was trying to remember-to put
| two and two together. His father had
been Southern born; yes, he had
known that. But he had known moth
ing whatever of his fathers early days,
or of his forebears; since he had been
old enough to wonder about such
! things. he had had no one to ask
questions OF.
Phrases of the letter ran through
his mind: Sometime, perhaps, you
will know why you are John Valiant
of New York instead of John Valiant
OF Damory Court | cannot
tell you myself" There was some
tragedy, then, that had blighted the
place. some melancholy story" as the
clipping put it.
He bent over the deed spread out
ger the long line of transfers: ITO

odd spelling! Robert Valyant'-with-
out the e. Hero, in 1870, the " be-
gins to be T." There was something
strenuous and appealing in the long
liant. How they held on to it! There's
never break"
A curious pride, newborn and self
conscious, was dawning in him. He
was descended from ancestors who
had been no weaklings. A Valiant had
settled on those acres under royal
governor, before the old frontier
fighting was over and the Indians
had sullenly retired to the westward.
The sons of those who had braved
sea and sayages had bowed their
strong bodies and their stronger hearts
to raze the forests and turn the
primeyal jungles into golden planta-
lions.
There stole into his mood an Gerry
suggestion of intention. Why should
the date assigned for that deeds de-
livery have been the very day on
which he had elected poverty? Here
was foreordination as pointed as the |

losed-an old-fashioned iron door-key.

nto his pocket, and rising, went to
