Eyes arched with fan-shielded whis-
pers, and fair faces, foreshortened as
they turned back over powder-white
shoulders, followed their swallow-like
movement From an Overwhelming
circle of masculine devotees Katharine
Fargo watched them with a smile that
cloaked an increasing and unwelcome
question.
Katharine had never looked more
handsome; a critical survey Of her
mirror at GLADDEN. Hall had assured
her Of that Never had her poise been
more superb, her toilet more enraptur-
ing. She was exquisitely gowned in
rose-colored mousseline-de-soie, en-
broidered in tiny brilliants laid on in
Greek patterns. From her neck. in a
single splendid loop OF iridescence
against the rosy mist, depended those
fabulous pearls-'the kind you sim
ply can't believe" as Betty Page con-
flded to her partner-on whose news

metropolitan shop-girls had been wont
to gaze with glistening eyes; and with
in their milky circlet, on her rounded
breast, trembled three pale gold-veined
orchids.
Watching that quadrille through her
dropping emerald-tinted eyes, she had
received sudden enlightening impress
sion OF Shirley's flawless beauty. AT
the tournament her fleeting glimpse
had adjudged the other merely sweetly
pretty. The Chalmers surrey had
stopped en- route for Shirley, but in
her wraps and veil she had then been
all but invisible. This had been Kath-
arine's first adequate view, and the
sight of her radiant charm had the
effect almost Of blow.
For Katharine, be it said, had wholly
surrendered to the old, yet new, at
traction that had swept her on the
tourney field. And what had lain al

CHAPTER XVI.
Tho Doctor Speaks.


While the vibrant strings hummed
and sang through the roses, and the
couples drifted on tireless and con-
tent, or blissfully sat out" dances on
the stairway, Katharine Fargo held
her stately court no less gAily for the
stealthy doubt that was crseping over
her spirit. She had been SO certain
of what would happen that evening
that when her father (between cigars
on the porch with Judge Chalmers
and Doctor Southall) had searched her
out under a flag-of-truce, she had sent
him to the rightabout, laughingly de-
cltnfng to depart before royalty. But
number followed number, and the
knight in purple and gold had not
paused again before her. Now The
scarlet cloak no longer haunted
among the dancers, and the white
satin gown and sparkling coronal had
disappeared. The end Of the next
"round-dance" found her subsiding
into the flower-banked alcove sudden
" distrait amid her escorts sallies. 1t
was at this moment that she saw, en-
tering the corridor from the garden.
the missing couple.
1t was not the faint flush on Shir-
ley's cheek-that was not deep-nor
was 1t his nearness to her, though they
stood closely, as lovers might. But
there was in both their faces a some
thing that resurgent conventionality
had not had time to cover trem-
bling reflection Of that Tight that
never was, on sea or land"-which was
like death-stab to what lay far deep
er than Katharine's heart, her pride.
She drew swiftly back, dismayed at
the sudden veritication, and for an In
slant her whole body chilled.
A craving for a glass Of water has
served its purpose thousand times;
as her cavalier solicitously departed 10
fetch the cooling draught, she rose.
and carelessly humming the refrain
the music had just left off, sauntered
lightly out by another door to the open
air. A swift glance about her showed
her she was unobserved and she STEP
ped down to the grass and along the
winding path to a bench at some dis
tance in the shrubbery. Here the
smiling mask slipped from her face
and with a shiver she dropped her hot
face in her hands.
There were no tears. The wave
that was yelling over her was one Of
bitter humiliation. She had shot her
bolt and missed-she, Katharine Far
go! For three years she had held
John Valiant, romantically speaking in
the hollow Of her shapely hand. Now
she had all but thrown herself at his
feet-and he had turned away to this
fame-haired, vivid girl whom he had
not known as many months!
Heavy footballs all at once approach
ed her-two men were coming from
| the house. There was the splitting
crackle of a match. and as she peered
out, its red fare lighted the massive
face and floating half OF Major Bris-
tow. His companions face. was in the
shadow. She waited. thinking they
would pass; but to her annoyance,
when she looked again. they had seat.
ed themselves on a bench few PAGES
away.

berry like a schoolgirl did not please
her, bat 1t seemed there was NO re
course. and she had half arisen, when
spoke a name that caused her to sit
down abruptly.

To the twanging Of the deft black
fingers, they passed in gorgeous array
between files of low-cut gowns and
doweF-like faces and masculine swal
low-tails, to the yellow parlor. Once
there the music ceased with a splendid
crash, the eleven knights each dropped
upon one knee, the eleven ladies-in-
waiting curtsied low, and Shirley, seat
ed upon the dais, leaned her FURNISHED
head to receive the crown. What
though the bauble was but bristol
board, its jeweled chasing but tinsel
and paste? On her head 1t glowed and
trembled, true diadem. AS Valiant
set the glittering thing on those rich
and wonderful coils, the music Of her
presence was singing a swift melody
In his blood.
His coronation address held no such
nowery periods as would have rolled
from the majors soul. He had chosen
. single paragraph he had lighted on In
an old book in the library-a history-of
the last Crusade in French black-let-
ter. He had translated and memorized
the archaic phrasing, keeping the
quaint feeling of the original:
These noble knights bow in your
presence, fair lady, as their leige,
whom they know as even in Judgment,
as dainty in fulfilling these our acts
Of arms, and do recommend their all
nnto your Good Grace in as lowly wise
as they can. o queen, In whom the
whole story Of virtue Is written with
the language of beauty, your eyes,
which have been only wont to discern
the bowed knees of kneeling hearts
and, inwardly turned, found always
the heavenly solace of sweet mind,

hands not only to assailing but to pre-
Vailing"
A hushed rustic of applause-not
loud: the merest whisper of silken
feet and feathered fans tapped softly
testified to widespread appreciation.
1t was the first sight many there had
had Of John Valiant and in both looks
and manner he fitted their best ideals.

PURE-BRED
BENISMS

1. A new discovery in this cam.
paign 10 that dairy COW breeding and
party politics are similar. Both to be
successful must be based upon prin.
ciple. Both breed bosses.
Q. When q dairyman discovers cor.
rect principles In selecting and breed.
ing dairy cows and sticks to them he
soon has herd of dairy bosses that
fill the pail.
3. Some dairymen get to thinking
they don't like good bosses. Bosses
are too much trouble, they come too
high. It's too thard to stick to prin.
ciple.
4. Such dairymen finally become
envious of good bosses, and conclude
they want to get into the boss class
on mongrel breeding, but they can't
get there. Nature Is against them.
s. To satisfy themselves they start
, breed of their own. They take a
white face and Texas steer and
get mongre boss, that is worth no.
thing for milk, and much less for
beef.
6. Now, as good dairy breeding com.
pels strict adherence to principle. so
does good party politics compel strict
adherence to principle.
Z. Every farmer knows that II the
majority Of dairymen in Cache would
build up their dairy herds by strict
adherence to dairy principles dairy.
ing would be so per cent more prif-
table.
8. Would any man after ten years
Of profitable selecting breeding and
adhering strictly to dairy principles.
think of turning loose in his herd a
Hereford Texas steer mongrel? Hard
ly?
8. Now, honestly, would 1t be any
greater violation of principle for a
dairyman to take Clydesdale flley
and an Angora billy goat and by
system OF fusion expect mich COW
than it is to take donkey platform
promises and Bull Moose m0ngrels
and by harmonious fusion expect q
statesman?
10. You tax payers. dairymen and
men Of party principle, before you
vote think over seriously what 1t
takes to get boss that fills the milk
pail. Yes, even the dinner pail.

FREEDOM OF
DEBATE

Many people say that money can
buy anything. You can order a
court decision or an election. just
as you buy a suit of clothes. They
say newspaper support Is for sale on
the basis of advertising space. Also
that college professors see new light
in matters Of economics when dom
ors come around with liberal views
about endowment funds.
Major Wiener, an English gradu-
ate Of Harvard, has just told that
university that 1t will miss a gift
of $1O.O0O,OOO from his estate, II 1t
continues to harbor Professor Nun
sterburg. who has been making such
bitter attacks on the allies in the
European war.
There are some things money can
not buy. Even the most pathetic
little rag of q country newspaper may
have as much independence as the
millionaire publisher. The editors
desk may be dusty catch all Of
musty papers, his office unswept, his
type battered. But that smoochy
sheet where he speaks his editorial
opinion Is the one square foot on the
planet where he Is lord and master.
Cash is no equivalent for his individ.
uality. And the country editor has
NO monopoly of this independence.
Similarly q college plant and equip.
ment may be Joke. The half paid
faculty may be rusty, threadbare. Or
It may be an institution hoary with
age and rich IN art and architecture
yet needing millions to enable it Il

ishes its aloofness from the world o.
dollars and barter. 1t is one fret
