John Valiant looked up. Facing
them at an elbow Of the broad road,
was an old gateway Of time-nicked
stone, clasping an iron gate that was
quaint and heavy and red with rust.
He put out his hand.
"Wait a moment" he said In a low
voice, and as the creaking conveyance

Facing the entrance the land fell

through which rambled willow-bor-
dered brook, in whose shadows short
horned cows stood lazily. Beyond,

could see a drowsy village, with a
spire and cupolaed courthouse; and
farther yet a yellow gorge with a
wisp of white smoke curling above

that, glimpsed In some immaterial

Leaving the negro to unload his be-

pride. And for general rundown

He looked musingly at the piteous

down across the barred fields and un-
