On the Red Road.

The green, mid-May Virginian
afternoon was arched with a sky as
blue as the tiles of the Temple of
Heaven and stepped In a wash OF sun
light as yellow as gold. Nothing in all
the springy landscape but looked
warm and o~palescent and inviting-ex-
cept a tawny bull that from across a
barred fence-corner switched a trucu-
lent tail in silence and glowered sui
lenly at the big motor halted motion
less at the side of the twisting road.
Curled worm-like in the drivers
eeat, with his chin on his knees, John
Valiant sat with his eyes upon the
distance. For an hour he had whirred
through that wondrous simmer of
color with a flippant lettering breeze
in his face. sweet from the crimson
clover that poured and rooted over the
roadside.
"Chum, old man" said Valiant, with
his arm about the bulldogs neck, If
those color-photograph chaps had
shown us this, W. simply wouldn't
have believed 1t, would we? Such
scenery beats the roads we're used to,
what" He wound his strong fingers
in a choking grip in the scruff of the
white neck, as a chipmunk chartered
by on the low stone wall NO, o

tie beggar, and he doesn't deserve be-
ing eaten.'
He filled his briar-wood pipe and
drew in great breaths of the fragrant
incense. What a pity you don't
smoke, Chum; you miss such a lott"
After a time he shook himself and
knocked the red core from the pipe
bowl against his boot heel. Il hate to

He clutched the self-starter. But
there was only a protestant wheeze,
the a declined to bulge. Climbing
down, he cranked vigorously. The
motor turned over with a surly grunt
OF remonstrance and after a tentative
throb-throb, coughed and stopped dead.
Something was wrong. With a sigh
he flung off his tweed jacket, donned a
smudgy Jumper opened his toolbox.
and, with a glance at his wrist-watch
which told him it was three o'clock,
threw up the monsters hood and went
bitterly to work.
At half past three the investigation
had got as far as the l%ubricator. At
four o'clock the bulldog had given 1t
up and gone nosing afield. At half
past foul John Valiant lay fat on his
back, like some disreputable stevadore,
alternately tinkerMg with refractory
valves and cursing the obdurate
mechanism. A sharp stone gnawed
frenziedly into the small Of his back
and just as he made a final vicious

CHAPTER ~.
A Valiant Of Virginia.

For a long time John Valiant sat
m%otionless. the opened letter in his
hand, staring at nothing. He had the
sensation, spiritually, OF a traveller
awakened with a 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 ben over the deed spread out
upon the table, following with his fin
ger the long line Of transfers: ITO
John Valyante,,'" he muttered; what
odd spelling! Robert Valyant'-witl-
out the e. Here. in 1870, the " be.
gins to be T." There was something
strenuous and appealing in the long
line of dates. Valiant. Always q Va
liant. How they held on to it. There's
never a 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 a royal
governor. before the old frontier
fighting was owe and the Indians
had sullenly retired TO the westward.
The sons Of those who had braved
sea and savages had bowed their
strong bodies and their stronger hearts
to raze the forests and turn the
primeval jungles into golden planta-
lions.
There stole into his mood an eery
suggestion Of intention. Why should
the date assigned for that deeds de-
