CHAPTER VI.

II was a merry cayalcade that
swung around the great oaks that
spring morning in liza. Two coaches
with outriders and positions led the
way with their precious freight--the
elder ladies in the first coach, and
the second hlossoming with aowerlike
faces and starred with dancing eyes.
Booted and spurred, the gentlemen
rode behind and after them rolled
the. baggage wagons, drawn by mules
in jinging harness. Harry on q
chestnut sOrrel and the young Ken
tuckian on a housekeeping gray fol-
lowed the seco'| coach-Hugh on
FREELY champedx the length Of the
column. Colonel Dale and Dave
brought up the aear. The road was
Of sand and the}% was little sound Of
hoof or wheelfonly the hum OF
voices, occasional sallies when a
| neighbor Joined them, and laughter
from the second coach as happy and
carefree as the singing Of birds from
trees by the roadside.
The capital had been moved from
+ Jamestown to the spot where Bacon
had taken the oath against England
then called AIlddle-Plantation. and
now Williamsburg. The cavalcade
wheeled into Gloucester street, and
Colonel Dale pointed out to Dave the
old capitol at one end and William
and Mary college at the other, Mr.
Henry had Numbered in the old cap
ltol, the Burgesses had their council
chamber there, and in the hall there
would be a ball that night. Near the
street was a great building which TIT
colonel pointed out as the governors
palace, surrounded by pleasure
grounds of full three hundred acres
and planted thick with linden trees
NV Lord DunmOre lived there.
! At this season the planters came will
their families to the capital, and tn
street was as brilliant as a fancy
dress parade would be to us now. I

was to become the Faneuil hall OF
Virginia. Both coaches were quickly
surrounded by bowling gentlemen,
young gallants, and frolicsome stu
dents. Dave, the young Kentucklan,
and Harry would be put up at the
tavern, and, for his own reasons
Hugh elected to stay with them. with
an au revoir Of white hands from the
coaches, the rest went on to the house
of relatives and friends.
Inside the tavern Hugh was SOON
surrounded by fellow students and
boon companions. He pressed Dave
and the boy to drink with them, but
Dave laughingly declined and took the
lad up to their room. Below they
could hear Hugh's merriment going
on, and when he came upstairs a
while later his face was flushed, ne
was In great spirits and was full OF
enthusiasm over horse race and
cock-Aght that he had arranged for
the afternoon. With him came q
youth of his own age with daredevil
ewes. and suaye manner, one Dane
Grey, to whom Harry gave scant

the stranger toward the Kentucky
| boy and within the latter fire Of
antagonism was instantly kindled'

tense breathing Of his listeners cu''
minated now in one general deep
breath.
Colonel Dale rose and turned to
General Willoughby.
"And that's where he wants to take
our boys"
ooh, It's much safer now" said the
hunter. 1--WE have had no trouble for
some time, and there's no danger IN
side the fort"
II can imagine you keeping those
bows inside the fort when there's so
much going on outside. Still"
Colonel Dale stopped and the two
boys took heart again.
Colonel Dale escorted the boy ana
Dave to their room. Mr.. Yandell must

burg next morning, and MIR. Yandell
would go gladly. They would spend
the night there and 60 to the COVER

county fair, and perhaps Mr.. Henry
would speak again. Then MIR. landell

Lingerie plays such an important
part in Cecil D. DeMille's latest Par

Clare West fashion designer for Mr..
DeMille was forced to devote the en-
tire attention of her force of seam

vles of milady's wardrobe of several
days prior to production work.
Not all of these dainty bits OF
feminine apparel are worn in the pic

pear on clothes lines, in laundry bas-
kets and in wardrobe chests. But

improvements To Gas Plant

Repair and improvements to the
Cambridge Gas Plant are now under
way. The Company expects to COM
plete the work at the plant in three
weeks time.
While this work is being done, es-
pecially that part which has to do
with increasing the capacity of the
gas holders, there may be decrease
in pressure which would cause some
inconvenience to users of gas.
The Eastern Shore Gas and Elec-
trio Company is using every precau-
iton to maintain normal gas pres
sure during this period and is push
ing the work as rapidly as possible.
The laying of the new gas mains
in the streets will begin in about two
weeks.
When these Improvements are
completed, normal gas pressure and
service may be expected.
