cello hunt was riding to hounds Tbe Monticello hunt, Il rival social otga1- ization of the next county, made il Il point to hold fox hunt always upon the day that the elite of Fairfax c0un- " held their masked old time tourna. meHt. If you were socially prominent iu Monticello you must consider taat no such thing as the Fairfax tourna- menp ever took place In turn, the old families of Fairfax likewise ignored the Monticello hunt with it's throng af fox pursuers.
 Arthur'S daring and dramatic escape had given him considerable lead over his pursucrs This lead he increased considerably, and he had quieted Star light to a less strenuous pace on an un. frequented road some fifteen miles from Fairfax when he behcld the Mon. ticello hunt in full cry after wary old dog fox crossing the fields some several hundred yards ahead. Starlight was au old fox hunter.
 Reused to renewed fife and his fa- tleue passing from him at the having ef the hounds and the crying of the EuHtsmeu, Arthur.s no longer jaded horse turned bfiskiE from the road and made after the chase.
 Arthur let Starlight follow his bent noting that the way he was taking across the fields WIS q shorter route to the safety aaa saeIter ol the Smith farm.
 \ small colored boy driving q frac. tious pig behea with much interest and some alarm the travel stained man and the horse join in the fox chase as he had drawn to tile side of the road to let Arthur pass
 The colored lad had been nearly bowled over by the hunt stirred Star light when that eager animals legs had encountered the rope which was attached to the hind leg of the frac tious pig.
 Just ahead of him, in a hollow at the bottom of the field by a sunken fence, Arthur beheld the last of the hunts men make a leap upon his horse, only to come nasty cropper and to lay in a huddled heap, strangely still, against a storm felled old tree.
 The hunters horse stopped with an abrupt jerk as the fallen reins caught and held him tightly by one of its gnarled branches.
 Arthur rode over and dismounted. The hunter was dead, his face bruised and disigured where it had struck the log, breaking his neck.
 Then Arthur remembered the colored boy with the pig and the pursuit that he had outdistanced. The colored boy would tell which way he had gone. He had been a fool to leave the high way.
 Then wild idea seized Arthur. This man was dead and beyond all aid. He hurriedly changed hIs coat, with it's white scarf, and his plumed hat for the red hunting jacket and velvet cap of the dead fox hunter.
 Then, engaging the bridle of Star light to the gnarled limb from which he had released the dead hunters. horse, he changed his mount and ean- tered away.
 When Sheriff Swain and his posse of tournament riders reached the scene, directed by the eolored boy with the

 The next day Hagar has a visitor at Stanley hall. It is Detective Tom Blake of Richmond, and he bears with him a curious flat portfolio of curious photographs He and Hagar examine these curious photographs in the libra " at Stanley hall, leaving Esther upon the broad piazza innocent of any knowledge of what passes between the gypsy woman and the astute private detective Hagar employs

 Blair made no reply, but inwardly he felt wild curses mounting to his lips and he flung himself in the house leaving his mother alone on the porch ere he might utter them
 But he was resolved to leave Fair fax. and he was resolved to again see and regain the favor of Vivian
