INSTALLMENT XXXIII.

TOR days the inhabitants of the
valley talked Of little save the
I approaching marriage. At first
Il there had been nothing but
approval of the most enthusiastic
character; as time went on, however.
sly, insidious force began to STIR IN
the naturally suspicious minds OF the
robbers.
In some way the impression got
abroad that Jonifer Davos hao de-
iherately. almost mcndaclouSly, gone
outside the valley to find a leader 10
succeed him when the time came Tor
him to Law down the Scepter. Nominally.
Of course. the mantle must fall TO his
daughter. but, behind the hand. it was
being bruited about that he had looked
far ahead when he brought young Star
court to the valley.
1t was suspected that he had had
definite purpose in mind when ne set
about to provide Gerane with a huS-
band At least so said the secret voices
that whispered in the valley; and II
was not long before they spoke loudly
ereough to be heard by Jonifer and his
household
Starcourt was the first to scent Il
change in the manner OF the robbers.
but he said nothing about 1t, Hereto
fore, he had enjoyed-n that is the
proper word--a sort of friendly intimacy
with the men and women with whom
he came in almost daily contact.
True. he was perfectly well aware
that their interest was due in no small
sense 10 the fact that each and every
one of them regarded him as common
liability and, because Of his very help
leSSnesS. were inclined to treat him with
mild if slightly contemptuous, geniality
OF late, however this spirit of friend
illness was noticeably lacking among
them; especially was this true of the
younger men. At no time had he been
misled or deluded by the treatment ac-
corded him by his captorS; he knew that
they would cut his throat without the
slightest compunction. If needs be. They
looked upon him as a natural foe,
secretly hated him. were conSiderate
and iovial only because they had no
fear of him
And why not? Was he not the COM
n1ander of the men who slew their COM
radeS? It was most unnatural TO expect
them to forget that fact, even though
they smiled when conversing with him
and when they waved their hands az
him from afar.
When 1t became known that Jonifer
intended to build an addition 10 his
house as soon rs the weather permitted
Indignation ripened into acute irrita-
ton Throughout the valley ran the
first Shiver of revolt
Later on. fuel was added to the fire
by the casual announcement of the
chief himself that. as soon as they were
married Gerane and her husband were
to reside in the main house. while he
purposed dividing his time between the
new addition and the cottage at present
occupied by the prisoner.
This was too much. It vas high time

surreptitiously ut first and then openly,
harangued the more or less Indifferent
populace into an active state OF foment.
He succeeded in stirring up bitter an
tagonism to the marriage OF Gerane
and the man he was pleased to describe
as "our lordly bondman."
The announcement that Heber Dykas,
who had off1ciated for more than gen.
grafton at all the weddings in the valley
was to perform the ceremony at his
house on the morning OF March
is brought matters to a climax. a
committee Of young men. headed by Jan
Melby waited on Jonifer and presented
what, by this time. had become a gen.
eral grievance.
The chieftain heard them through
and then, to their astonishment and re-
lief, gravely announced that he woulc
at once set day for a mass meeting
on which occasion the situation might
not only be openly and thoroughly dis
cussed, but his own aims and desires
put before the people in such a man
ner that no one could doubt his wis.
dom or his fealty. This was agreeable
to the majority, most of whom had an
ticipated trouble, Melby alone having
the hardihood to state with a boldneS'
that the others lacked

urged and prodded by their wives
that Jonifer was made to realize tnaI

What right had he to turn over TO

the valley was thatched--they had done
all these things for Jonifer the First

due time and proper order to his son
and heir, and now. under their very
noses. 1t was about to be delivered over
to a stranger. whether or no, because
it happened to suit the pleasure OF
Jonifer the Second
High time, moreover. declared the
wives of the robbers, that something
was done to curb the tyrannical ambi-
tions Of Mistress Gerane
Who was she, they argued. that she
)rably and perilously taken on the high
wav?
Who was she to spurn the diamonds
and rubies and fabrics rare that were
laid at her feet by gallant heroes on her
birthday simply because they were
stolen?
And. more than anything else, who
was she to turn up her nose at all the
fine outstanding young men in the val
ley. as goodly a lot of fellows as you
would find in a years search? Who was
she, indeed, to think that no one short
of a count or a noble lord was gooo
enough for her?
Jan Melby. one of the guests at the
Christmas feast in Jonifers house, and
at one time a determined Suitor for
Gerane's hand (dissuaded. it may be
stated here by Jonifer'S bland an
nouncement that he would put bullet
