John Valiant Asks a Question.

Valiant went with them to the
outer door. A painful thought was
flooding his mind. 1t hampered his
speech and 1t was only by a violent
effort that he found voice:

the slightest pause of surprise. Had

There was moments silence be-

did his voice was. steady, though drops
had sprung to his forehead. WAS
there any circumstance in that meet

plosively.

There was a hiatus this time In

not. What put that into your head?"
When he was alone In the library
Valiant opened the glass door and
took from the shelf the morocco case.
The old shiver of repugnance ran over
him at the very touch Of the leather.
In the farthest corner was a low COM
mode. He set the case on this and
moved the big tapestry screen across
the angle, hiding It from view.

air OF warmth and creature-comfort.

liant gazed about him. How different
1t all looked from the night of his
coming!
He began to walk up and down the
noor, teasing pricks of restlessness
urging him. He opened the door and
passed into the unlighted dining room.
On the sideboard set a silver loving
cup that had arrived the day before
In a huge box with his books and
knick-knacks. He had won Il at polo.

file, the magnolia skin and hair like a
brown-gold cloud across the sun.
He stepped down to the graveled
drive and followed it to the gate. then,
bareheaded, took the Red Road.
Along this highway he had ratified in
Uncle Jeffersons crazy hack-with
her red rose in his hand. The musky
scent Of the pressed leaves in the book
in his pocket seemed to be all about
him.
The odor Of living roses, in fact, was
in the air. II came on the scarce
felt breeze. a heavy calling perfume.
He walked on, keeping the road by the
misty inflltrating simmer of the
stars, with a sensation rather Of glid-
ing than Of walking. 1t occurred to
him that IT, as scientists say. colors
emit sound-tones, scents also should
possess a music Of their own: the
honeysuckle fragrance, maybe-soft
mellow fiuting as Of diminutive wind
instruments; the far-faint sickly odor
OF lilies-the upper register Of faery
violins; this spicy breath of roses

1t came to him at the same instant
that this was no mere fancy. Some
where in the languorous night a harp
was being played. He paused and lis
tened intently, then went on toward
the sound. The rose scent had grown
stronger; 1t was almost In that heavy

flowed crimsonly to him, calling, call

He stopped stock-still. He had been
skirting a close-cropped hedge of box.
This had ended abruptly and he was
looking straight up a bar of green
yellow radiance from a double door
way. The latter opened on a porch
and the light, flung across this,
drenched an arbor of climbing roses,
making it stand out a mass of woven
rubies set In emerald.
He drew long sigh Of more than
delight, for framed in the doorway he
saw figure In misty white, leaning to
the gilded upright of a harp. He
knew at once that II was Shirley.
Holding his breath, he came closer, his
feet muffled in the thick grass. He
stood in the dense obscurity, one
hand gripping the gnarled limb of
a catalpa, his eyes following the
shapely arms from wrist to shoulder,
the fingers straying across the strings.
the bending cheek caressing the
carved wood. She was playing the
melody of Shelley's Indian Serenade"
touching the chords softly and ten
derly-and his lips moved, molding
themselves soundlessly to the words.
The serenade died In a single long
note. AS IL In answer to II there rose
a food of bird-music from beyond the
arbor-jets Of song that swelled and
rippled to a soaring melody. She
heard 1t. too, for the gracile fingers
fell from the strings. She listened a
moment, with head held to one side,
then sprang up and came through the
door and down the steps.
He hesitated a moment, then a sim
gle stride took him from the shadow.

Beyond the Box-Hedae.

AS he greeted her. his gaze plunged
deep into hers. She had recoiled a
step. startled, to recognize him al
most instantly. He noted the shrink
ing and thought 1t due to a stabbing
memory of that forest-horror. His first
words we're prosaic enough:
