and name-and to tighten the gloomy
shadow, that must rest on his thoughts
Of his father, with warmer SUMMER
things. She heaved a secret sigh OF
satisfaction as the white-clad figure
rose In acquiescence.
The major returned to the grand
stand and held up his hand for silence.
Our gracious Liege." he proclaimed,
In his big vibrant voice, Queen OF
Beauty yet unknown, Lords, Knights
and Esquires, Fair Danes and gentles

have enterprized and taken upon them

are hereby acquainted that the lists of
Runnymede are about to open for that

SO long been famed. But an hour

A buzz ran over the assemblage. ut

said Judge Chalmers. II heard this
morning he was sick Who's the sub
stitute knight, l wonder?"
At the moment a single mounted
herald before the tents blew a long
blast on silver horn. Their flaps
parted and eleven knights issued to
mount their steeds and draw into line
behind him. They were brilliantly
decked in feshlings with slashed doub-
lets and plumed chapeaus. and short
jeweled cloaks dropped from their
shoulders. Pages handed each a long
lance which was held perpendicular,
the butt resting on the right stirrup.
Under the pavilion, just for the frac-
ton of a second, Valiant hesitated.
Then he turned swiftly to the twelfth
tent. It's flagstaff bore long stream
er of deep blood-red. He snatched
this from it's place, flung it about his
waist and knotted it sash-wise. He
drew the rose from his lapel and thrust
it through the band of his Panama,
leaped to the saddle Of the horse the
major had beckoned. and with a quick
thrust of his heel. swung to the end
of the stamping line.
The field and grand stand had seen
the quick decision, with its instant ac-
ton, and as the hoofs thudded over
the turf. wave of hand-clapping ran
across the seats like a silver rain

Katharine Fargo had dropped her
lorgnette with an exclamation. She
stood up, her wide eyes fixed on that

Judge Chalmers looked round in sud-

with her lorgnette. 81 suppose all the

laughingly to Nancy Chalmers. I've

ago. Well have to get along with

She made an exclamation OF dismay.
Poor Ridge! And what a pity!
There have never been less than the
full number. 1t will spoil the royal
quadrille tonight, too. Why doesn't
the committee choose some one in his
