was visiting a friend. who asked him

Jereboam, his ancient b~ody-servant,

rights, his scanned visage under his
white wool suggesting a charred

snow. "Jedge Chalmahs done telly-

The old darby ruminated as he

He shook his head forebodingly.
The major had, indeed, a faraway
look as he sat there, a heavy lonely
figure, that bright morning. 1t had
slipped to his face with the news Of
the arrival at Damory Court. He told
himself that he felt queer.

bark producers have had only a small

there is a great risk, therefore, that G.

Suddenly he seemed to hear elin
voices close to his ear:
Which was it she lovedf Valiant
or Sassoon?" 4
1t was so distinct that he started,
vexed and disturbed. Really, 1t was
absurd. He would be seeing things
next! "Southall may be right about
that exercise" he muttered; "rH walk
more" He began the projected re-
form without delay, striding up and
down the oom But the little voices
presently sounded again. shouting like
gnomes inside a hill:
Which was it? Valiant or Sas-

major roughly. standing sttk. It ST.

voice, as though 1t had been q pre-
concerted signal, drew together o kun
dred inchoate images Of other days.
There was the well-ordered garden of
Damory Court-it roBe up, gloomy
with night shadows, across his great
clothes-press against the wall-with
himself sitting on a rustic-bench
smoking and behind hfm the candle
lighted library window with Beauty
Valiant pacing up and down, waiting
for daylight. There was a sun
lighted stretch between two hemlocks,
with Southall and he measuring the
ground-the grass all dewy sparkles
and an early robin lettering on a
thorn-bush. Eight = nine ten - he
caught himself counting the PAGES.
He wiped his forehead. Between
the hemlocks now were two figures
facing each other, one twitching I'm.
certainly, the other palely rigid; and
at one side, held screen-wise, a raised
umbrella. In some ghostly way he
could see right through the latter
see the doctors hand gripping the
handle, his own, outstretched beyond

to fiutter down. A silly ~subterfuge

actual witnesses to the final act of a
'gentlemen's meeting! A silly code
the whole of it, now happily out
grown! The scene. blurred into a sin

Which did she lover" The major
shook his head helplessly. 1t was,
after all, only the. echo, become all
at once audible on a shallow woman's
lips, of a question that had always
haunted him. 1t had first cope to him
on the heels Of that duel, when he
had stood, somewhat later that hate
full morning, holding a saddled horse
before the big pillared porch. 1t had
whispered itself then from every NOV.

she had loved Sassoon. of what use the
letter Valiant was SO long penning in
the library? Buff it were Valiant
she loved? The man who, having
sworn not to lift his hand against the
other, had broken his sacred word to
her! Who had stained the unwritten
code by facing an opponent maddened
with liquor! Yet, what was there a
woman might not condone in the one
man? Would she read, forgive and
send for him?
The major laughed out suddenly
harshly, in the quiet room, and looked
down as IL he expected to see that

laugh could not still a regular pulsing
