CHAPTER xxxIV.-contInued.

Shirleye breath stopped. She felt
her face tingling and curious weak
ness came on her limbs. Why, indeed
unless-and the thought was like
wild prayer in her mind-she had
been mistaken in her surmise!
Thoughts came thronging in panic
haste: the fourteenth of May and the
cape 1essamines-these might point
no less to Valiant than to Sassoon.
But her mothers fainting at the sight
OF the son-the eager interest she had
displayed in Shirley's accounts Of him,
from the episode Of the rose and the
bulldog to the tournament BALI
seemed now to stand out in a new
light, throbbing and roseate. Could
It be? Had she been stumbling along
q blind trail misled by the cunning
dovetailing Of circumstance? Her
heart was beating stihingly. II she
should be mistaken now! She dashed
her hand across her eyes as though to
.ompel their clearness, and looked
again.
1t was Beauty Valiant's face that
lay in the locket, and that could mean
but one thing: it was he, not Sassoon,
whom her mother loved!
The lamplight seemed to grow and
spread to an unbearable radiance.
Shirley thought she cried out with a
sudden sweet wildness, but she had
not moved or uttered sound. The
illumination was all about her, like
a splendid cloud. The impossible had
happened. The miracle for which she
Historically prayed had been wrought!
When she blew out the light, the
shining still remained. That glowing
knowledge, like vitaliZing and phys
ical presence, passed with her through
the hall to her room. AS she stood in
the elfish light of her one candle, the
poignancy of her Joy was as sharp as
her past pain. Later was to come the
wonder how that tragedy had bent
Beauty Valiant's life to exile and heI
mothers to unfulfillment, and in time
she was to know these things, too
But now the one great knowledge blot
ted out all else. She need starve hel
fancy no longer! The hours with hel
lover might again sweep across hel
memory undenied. She felt his arms
hts kisses, heard his whispers agains
her cheek and smelled the perfume O
Madonna lilies.
She drew the curtain and opened
the window noiselessly to the light
Only a few hours ago she had beel
singing to her harp in what wretched
ness! She laughed softly to herself
The quiet night was full of his voice
Il love you! l want nothing but you!
How her pitiful error had torture'
and wrung them both! But tomorrow
he. too, would know that all was well
A clear sound chimed across tn
distance-the bell of the court-hous
clock, striking midnight. One!
Two! How often lately it ha
run discordantly across her mood

His Tender Spot.

AS a certain young artist of New
York sat upon his stool on day in the
Adirondacks doing bit of mountain
stuff'' there approached him from the
rear native, evidently with ideas Of
his own touching art.
Did you ever try photography! p
asked the newcomer.
NO" was the curt response of the
young artist. who continued his work

Pawn Their "Craeked Ice"

Broadway, near Forty-second street,
New York, always in July is known as
Hooking valley" You see, most OF
the actors and actorines have been
out of work for few weeks, and dur
ing the month of July it is case OF
all going out and nothing coming in,
with the result that they are "hock-
ing their cracked ice"
Diamonds are the savings banks of
all Broadway talent, and they are the
next best thing to real money when
their owners are broke. Nearly every
theatrical person hits hardpan in July.
They may need only few hundred
beans to tide them over until they
sign up and it's easy to slip off ring
or stickpin and get the kale from

The preparations for his going had
been quickly made. He was leaving
behind him all but single portman-
teau. Uncle Jefferson had already
taken this-with Chum-to the sta
ton. The old man had now gone sor-
rowfully afoot to the blockhouse, a
half-mile up the track, to bespeak the
stopping of the express. He would go
back on the horse his master was
riding.
The lonely little depot flanked q
siding beside dismal stretch of yel-
low clay-bank gouged by rains. Its
windows were dark and the weather
beaten plank platform was illuminated
by single lantern that hung on a
nail beside the locked door, its sickly
fame showing bruise-like through
smoky streakings of lampblack. At
one side, in the shadow, was his bag,
and beside it the tethered bulldog

choly forlornness lying with one
splinted leg, like a. swaddled ranlrod

In the saddle, Valiant struck his
hand hard against his knee. Surely
it was a dream! It could not be that
he was leaving Virginia, leaving Dam
ory court, leaving her! But he knew
that it was not dream.
Far away, rounding Powhattar

The Song Of the Nightingale.

Along the dark turnpike John Val
liant rode with his chin sunk on his
breast. He was wretchedly glad Of
the darkness, for 1t covered thou
sand familiar sights he had grown to
love. Yet through the dark came
drifting sounds that caught at him
with clutching hands-the bay of q
hound from some far-off kennel, the
whirring note Of frogs, the impatient
high whinny Of horse across pasture
bars-and his nostrils widened to the
wild braided fragrance of the fields
over which the mist was spinning its
fairy carded wool.
