He thought a moment, then went
quickly into the library and began to
ransack the trunk At length he found
small box containing keepsakes OF
various kinds. He poured the medley
on to the table-an uncut moonstone,
an amethyst-topped pencil that one OF
his tutors had given him as boy, a
tigers claw, a compass and what-not.
Among them was a mans seal-ring
with a crest cut in a comedian. He
looked at 1t closely. 1t was the same
device.
The ring had been his fathers.
Just when or how 1t had come into
his possession he could never remem-
Der. 1t had lain among these keep
sakes so many years that he had al
most forgotten its existence He had
never worn a ring, but now, as he
went back to the hall, he slipped it
on his finger. The motto below the
crest was worn away, but it showed
clear in the marble of the hall-mantle:
/ clinge.
His eyes turned from the carven
words and strayed to the pleasant SUM-
ny foliage outside. An arrogant boast,
perhaps. yet in the event well Just1-

boast.
His gaze wavered. The tail OF his
eye had caught through the window a
squirt of something dashing and vivid.
that grazed the corner of far-off
field. He craned his neck, but 1t had
passed the line of his vision. The
next moment. however, there came
trailing on the satiny stiffness the
high-keyed ululat.on of horn, and an
instant later long-drawn hallo-o-o!
mixed with a 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; it was nearing rapidly. AS he
looked the hunt dashed into full view
between the tree-boles-a gallopfng
melee Of khaki and scarlet, swarming
across the fresh green Of a wheat
field, behind spotted swirl of hounds.
"Confound it," said John Valiant
belligerently; 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
scarlet-coated feminine rider, detached
from the bunch, had spurred in ad-
vance and was leading by clean hun
dred yards, bareheaded, her hat fallen

said, 'it's the Lady-of-the- Roses!"
He put his hands on the sill and
vaulted to the porch.
