SYNOPSIS.

John Valiant. a rich society favorite.
suddenly discovers tina the Valiant cor
poration, which his father founded n
which was the principal source of his
wealth, has failed. He voluntarily turns
over his private fortune to the receiver
for the corporation. His entire remaining
possessions consist of an old motor car. a
white bull dog and Damory court, a neg
lected estate in Virginia. On the way to
Damory court he meets Shirley Dand-
ridge, an authenticated beauty. and de-
cides that he is going to like Virginia I'M
mensely. Shirley's mother. Mrs. Dand-
ridge, and Major Bristow exchange rem
iniscencee during which 1t is evealed
that the major, Valiant's father, and a
man named Sassoon were rivals for the
hand OF Mrs. cambridge In her youth.
Sassoon and Valiant fought a duel on her
account In which the former was killed.
Valiant finds Damory court overgrown
with weeds and crecpers and decides to
rehabilitate the place. Valiant saves
Shirley from the bite of a snake, which
bites him. Knowing the deadliness OF the
bite, Shirley sucks the poison from the
wound and saves his life. Valiant learns
for the first time that his father left Vir-
ginia on account of a duel in which Doc
tor Southall and Major Bristow acted as
his fathers seconds. Valiant and Shirley
become good friends. Mrs. Dandridge
faints when she meets Valiant for the
first time. Valiant discovers that he has
a fortune in old walnut trees, The yearly
tournament, a survival of the toustsng OF
feudal times, is held at Damory court. Al
the last moment Valiant takes the place
of one of the knights. who Ia sick. and

history of this house, but the informa-

The costume had been one he had
worn at a fancy ball Of the winter be-

ing at Windsor of one of the dukes of
Buckingham, and it made a perfect foil
for Shirley's white.
The eleven knights Of the tourney,
each with his chosen lady, If less
splendid, were tricked out in sufficient
ly gorgeous attire. Many an ancient
brocade had been awakened for the
nonce from its lavender bed, and ruffs
and gold-braid were at no premium.

continued for three days, and was
conducted with much ~ferocity on both
sides. Two hundred Of the Indians

Method of Counting.

The plan adopted by many of the OBJ
servers is to zigzag back and forth across
the chosen area at daylight. counting the
male birds of each species. at that
time of day. at this season. each is in
full song and easily seen. After the
migration period is over and the birds are
settled in summer quarters 1t is safe to
consider that each male represents a
breeding pair. One OF the main objects Of
the census. by the way. is to determine
how many pairs of birds Of each species
breed within definite areas.
A count taken in a part OF Chevy Chase
showed thirty-four species of birds in a
tract of twenty-three acres. the total
number of breeding pairs being 159. about
seven to an acre. The average. it is
stated, is about one pair TO an acre. As
the tract in question is thickly populated.
the bird experts of the government see
in this report a refutation OF the theory
that the presence of many people tends
to decrease the number of birds.
Evening star., 1914-07-08
Count Began June /.

The counting has been going on since
June l. and was to have wound up by
July /. but it probably will be some time
before the last of the returns are in and
announcement is made of the total bird
population. The census will not include
the varieties known as game birds. but in
all other respects IL will be as thorough
and as well classified as is practicable.
Previous estimates by the bird experts
are that there are $50 balm species OF
birds in the United States and Canada.
the varieties being more generously dis
tributed in the eastern states than in
the west and the least OF all in the
prairies.
But this is only a guess The enumera-
tors in the present count have been as
signed typical tracts Of woodland. cult
waited land and pasture, and asked TO
count the birds on each. Officials of each
state will be asked to furnish the Depart
ment of Agriculture with information
showing the total number of acres of
each kind of land within the borders of
the states, and the number of birds in
each state then will be fairly accurately
