deep into hers. She had recoiled a
step, startled, to recognize him al
most instantly. He noted the shrink

was an awkward pause in which he
set down his glass noisily and rose
and stood before the open bookcase.

somewhat Of haste. A fine old col
lection. Bless my soul, what curious
volume!"
AS he spoke, his hand jerked out
heavy-lOoking leather-back Valiant,
who had risen and stood beside him,
saw instantly that what he had drawn
from the shelf was the morocco case
that held the rusted dueling pistol! In
the majors hands the broken box

across his leonine face With smoth-
cred exclamation he thrust it back
between the books and closed the
glass door.
Valiant had paled. His previous
finding Of the weapon had escaped his
mind. Now he read, as clearly as If
it had been printed in black-letter
across the sunny wall, the significance
of the majors confusion. That weap-
on had been in his fathers hand when
he faced his opponent in that fatal
duel! 1t flashed across his mind as
the doctor lunged for his hat and stick
and got to his feet.
Come, Bristow," said the latter irri-
tably. Your feet will grow fast to

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 double door

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 a long sigh of more than
delight, for framed in the doorway he
saw a figure in misty white, leaning to
the gilded upright of harp. He
knew at once that it 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

melody of Shelley's Indian Serenade"
touching the chords softly and ten

themselves soundlessly to the words.
The serenade died in a single long
note. AS if in answer to it there rose
a flood of bird-music from beyond the
arbor-jets of song that swelled and
rippled to soaring melody. She
heard it. 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.
