Next day the major was carried to
his final rest in the myrtlcd shadow Of
st. Andrews. At the service the old
church was crowded to it's doors.
Valiant occupied II humble place at

the staincdglass windows and seemed
to clothe with subtle colors tho voice
OF the rector as he read the solemn
service. The responses came broken

Shirley and her mother. Many glanced
.at them, for the majors will had been
opened that morning and few there
had been surprised to learn that, save
for life-mnuity for old Jereboam,
he had left everything he possessed
to Shirley. Miss Matte Sue was be-
side them, and between, wan with
weeping, sat Ricicy Snyder Shirlcy's
