On the other hand. Judge Lamar |
Stanley had son, sturdy boy Of |
three. His proud wife, equally with |
himself dreamed Of day when this |
boy should bear the honors and have
the vast estates of the Stanley earl
dom and the wonderful. priceless dia-
mond from the sky.
AS the two horsemen, kinsmen and
bitter enemies, rode down upon each
other In a smiling Virginia lane nei-
sthcr would swerve his horse u hairs
breadth for the other. Into each other,
full tilt, their blooded horses charged,
and then the superior Craftsmanship of
the soldier. skilled in cavalry encoun-
tiers, told. Over went horse and judge
into the dust of the road, and, with a
mOcking laugh and not deigning to
look back at his fallen kinsman. who
arose and cursed and shook his fist at
him, Colonel Stanley rode on
The Judge, discounted In the dust,
saw the dark face of gypsy grinning
at him through hedge near by. The
hedge was on the property OF Judge
| Stanley. Mounted on his horse again
he now saw gypsy van on the other
side Of the hedge. Judge Stanley,
quivering with rage, rode into the gap
Of the hedge and hoarseiy ordered of

tulated the gypsy. II am alone here
with my wife. sir. Our people has
gone on. My wife is very sick. We
can't go on sir
"What do | care what ails your
wretched w.fe!" snarled the Judge
"Drive your horses or my land and get
out. / am judge In this county,
"Mebbe you are president of the
United States, too" grumbled the
gypsy. do you think you own the
roads because the gentleman that just
rode by knocked you OF your horse
on the road?''
Reused to burst of fury, the Judge
drove his horse at the gypsy and
dashed him cruelty with the heavy rid
Ing, whip he always carried. A wan
bnt, handsome gypsy woman, clutching
q at her side. as though In pain. tottered
] out from the van as though to protect
the gypsy from the sheer brutality OF
the hOrseman. Stanley struck the gyp-
sy woman across the face, leaving a
lfvid veal. To his surprise she never
finched, but faced him dauntlessly.

life and death that will be buzz

her courageous eyes
The judge faltered and wheeled his
horse, but turning to the gypsy mar
he cursed him again and bid him be
of his land. Then he rode on.
Meanwhile Colonel Stanley had rid

halted his horse at the gate of a pref
