The twelve horsemen., were now, sit ting their restive mounts in a group tone end ofthe lists. Two mounted monitors had stationed themselves on ither side of the rope-barrier; a third stood behind the upright from whose arm was suspended the silver ring. The herald blew - a blast, calling fhe , title of the first of the knights. In stantly, with lance at rest, tire latter galloped at full speed down the lists. There was a sharp musical clash, and as he dashed on, the ring flew .the full length of its tether and swung back, whirling swiftly. It had been a close thrust, for the iron pike-point had smitten its rim. A cheer went up, under cover of which the rider looped back outside the lists to his former position. " In an upper tier of the stand a spec tator made a cup of his hands. "The Knight of the Golden Spur against the Held," he called. "What odds ?" : ' "Five to one, Spotteswood," a voice : answered. . : '" ' ' . ' .' - "Ten dollars announced the first. "Good." And , bbth made memoran dum on : their cuffs : ' .

"' : 7""1.- 'Again and again the clear note rang ut and a mounted figure plunged by, tand presently. In a burst of cheering, the herald proclaimed "The Knight of the Black Eagle- one!" and Chilly Taisk, in old-rose doublet and inky plume cantered back with a silver ring upon his pike. No simple thing, approaching leis urely and afoot, to send that tapering point straight to the tiny mark. But at headlong gallopf-astride a blooded 3btorse straining to take the bit, a deed Requiring a nice eye, a perfect seat and an unwavering arm and hand ! Those knights who looped back with their pikes thus braceleted had" spent long hours in practice and each rode as naturally as he breathed; yet more 'than once a horse shied in mid-course and at the too-eager thrust of the spur bolted through the ropes.' Valiant made his first essay and missed with the blood singing In his ears. The ring flew from his pike, catching him a swinging blow on the temple in Where Had f John Valiant Learned That Trick of the Loose Wrist and I nflexible Thrust. :.-rU ' ' ' :I Its rebound, but he scarcely felt it. As he cantered back he. heard the'maiors bass pitting him against the field. 1 Andthen, suddenly, stand and; field all vanished. , He saw : only - the long level rope-lined lane with its twinkling vJd-air point.; An exhilaration caught : him at the feel of the splendid horse flesh beneath : him that, sense of one ness with the creature, he ' bestrode which the instinctive horseman knows. ; X? -: :f ne uiieu um uuive turn ueiieu xt, seeK- point as : a" fencer, with - his rapier When again the . blood-red sash streamed away : the herald's , cry, "Knight of the ; Crimson Rose One !

"Why. he has a seat -like centaur ! exclaimed the jtdge rpraise Indeed In a community where ; riding was. a passion and horseflesh a fetish!- "Oh, dear!" mourned Nancy Chal mers. "I've bet six pairs of gloves on Quint Carter. Never mind ; , if it has to be anybody else, I'd rather it were Mr. Valiant.

If he takes . the next two, and Mr. Valiant misses " Katharine looked at her with, a lit tle smile. "He won't miss," she said. She had seen that Iok on his face before and read it aright. John; Va liant had striven in many contests, not' only of skill but of strength and dar ing, before crowded grand stands. But never, in all his life had he so desired to pluck the prize. .. His grip was tense on the - lance V as the yellow doublet and olive plume of Castlewood ; shot away for a last time and failed. An instant later the Knight of the Crim son Rose flashed down the lists with the last ring on his pike. And the tourney was won. : In the shouting and hand-clapping Valiant took the rose from his hat band and bound it with a shred of his sash to his . lance-point.4 As he rode slowly toward the. massed stand, the whole field was so still that he could hear-the hoofs of the file of knights behind him. The people were on their feet. ; - ". - -:- ; The mounted herald blew his blast. 'JBy the Majesties of St Michael and St. George," he proclaimed, "I declare the Knight of the Crimson Rose the victor of this our tfurney, and do charge him now to choose his Queen of Beauty, that all may do her hom age!" . . - . Shirley saw the horse coming, "down the line, its rider bareheaded now; and her heart began to race wildly. Beyond wanting him to take part, she had ;not thought. She looked : about her, suddenly dismayed. People were smiling " at her- and clapping their hands. From the other ; end of the stand she saw Nancy Chalmers throw ing her a kiss, and beside her J a tall paje girl in champagne-color staring through a Jeweled lorgnette. : She was conscious all at once that the flanneled rider was . very close" that his pike-point, with its big red blossom, was stretching up to her. - " ' . - With the rose in her hand she curt- sled to him, while; the blurred throng cheered itself hoarse, and the - band struck up "You Great Big Beautiful Doll," with - extraordinary ' rapture, to the tune of which the noise finally sub sided to a battery of hilarious con gratulations which lett her flushed and a little breathless. Nancy Chalmers and Betty Page had burst upon her like petticoated whirlwinds and pres-y ently,. when the. crowd had lessened, the Judge came to introduce his visi tor. , ' - - ; r " Mr. Fargo and his daughter are our guests at Gladden Hall," he told her.- They are old friends of Valiant's, by the way; they knewhim in ; New York." - Katharine's lighting her incense now, r guess," observed Silas Fargo.
