She had hoped that Matson would not single her out by coming over to speak to them. She felt that people were staring at her curiously as he made his way directly toward the spot where she and Galt were standing. She wished now that she had gone out of the room immediately, for though she was delighted that David had won his case she had no feeling of triumph or revenge. "Miss Shannon, he bent forward, bowing from the waist, may I congratulate you? On what, sir? She laid her hand on Galts arm and stood erect and poised beside him. Suddenly, as Matson turned, there was a silver flash like a bird flying through the air. Larks eyes caught It but, for a stunned second she didnt realize Its significance. Then, as Matson doubled over in agony, trying to draw out the knife that was buried, in the breast of his Jacket, realization came to Lark, realization and remembrance. she screamed. Galt! "Galt, Her Galt! Matson's wounded! cream was lost In the general uproar. The judge was down from bis desk, bending over the crumpled form, shouting for a barber-surgeo- n to be summoned. One of the farmers' wives had fainted and bad to have a feather burned under her nose. The court room was In pandemonium. Matson was dead now, past any human help, and the sergeant-at-arm- s bawled gangway and carried the body into the judge's small inner sanctum. A black-coate- d preacher In the crowd said, Lord, have mercy on his soul! spectators echoedamen." Galt, Lark said, Ive got to get outside, away from all this. I cant stand it I just cant. He nodded and took her arm, wedging a passage through the milling, hysterical crowd. Outside, in the court-hous- e yard, Lark said, Galt, what do you think we should do? We know it was Mother Egypt who killed Matson. Must we tell the judge that? I No, Galt said thoughtfully. dont think we ought to tell him. .This is the way 1 look at it. Lark. Matson got what was coming to him. It was fair justice. Rememd ber Dosta. Remember the sailor. Remember my father and dozens of others, likely enough, that we dont know about. I look on this as rightful punishment. Its best we just forget it. Ill try, if you say so, Galt. Galt said, Im hungry. Lark, aren't you? and led her toward one of the Negro women who called her wares in the soft Gullah speech. It was then that Lark noticed that the old lady who had spoken to her In the court room was beckoning table Imperiously from the near-b- y where she sat alone. When Lark hesitated for a moment she saw that a Negro butler was coming toward them with a message. With Chesterfleldian politeness he conveyed his summons. Lark and Galt followed him to his" mistress, who nodded with satisfaction and told them to sit down beside her. Too bad about that shocking scene in the court room a while she said, but the man richago, Of ly deserved his punishment. course I saw which gipsy flung the knife, just as you did, and It wouldn't surprise me any if Ben Tavner saw It, too, but hes a wise man, in spite of the fact that hes a judge. I think well all just forget it Thats the agreement you two young people came to, isnt it? Lark and Galt nodded. Theres not much my old eyes miss, Madame Farrington boasted, or my ears, either. Youd be surprised how much gossip Ive picked up about the two of you, for instance. My sympathys with you. It was because of that that I came here today. A little bit, perhaps, it was due to curiosity, too. We Virginians are inordinately interested in anything that concerns a thoroughbred. The whole countrysides been agog these past weeks over Jarrod Terraines loss of Greatways on that bet For the horse which would have saved him to turn up now when its too late seems very unjust and very cruet" We tried as hard as we could, she explained quickly, to return the horse sooner. We knew he belonged to Squire Terraine and weve been trying for weeks to return him. Yes. Madame Farrington said, I believe you. Plascutt Dawes started the ugly rumor that you had heard that Jarrod had lost his Place and had been hiding at Mat-so- n rendezvous up the coast until the Terraines left for Kentucky. But why then, Lark asked an hilt-dee- grily, should we ever have come here at all? If we wanted to steal the horse, surely tnis would have been the last place we would have come to? Plascutt says you wanted to hold him up for a huge reward, more than double the value of the horse. There's no telling what lies a man will tell, or what shabby tricks hell stoop to, when he once makes up his mind that he wants a particular horse. Galt said frankly, We were timing to get the reward, the amount Squire Terraine posted. It seemed fair and right to us. "Jarrod Terraine would have paid you, too, without any argument," Madame Farrington said with assurance. But Plascutt Dawes, hes a horse of another color! The old lady laughed at her joke and the two young people smiled politely. A vivacious-lookin- g black-hairc- d girl excused herself from the group of fashionable young people who were gathered under a striped marquee and came toward them.

See theyre already been took up by the grandest old lady in the county, wouldnt surprise me none if she axed em to lead the next ball she held. Minnie said, Hush, now. Things is about to get going, as Judge Tavner rapped with his gavel to quiet the general hubbub. Presently the formalities were completed, and the two lawyers who were to have charge of the case of Dawes versus Shannon and Withe took over. Plascutt was called on and stated that he considered the thoroughbred horse, Lancer, to be without doubt his property since he was in possession of a document from Jarrod Terraine deeding Greatways and all his property, real and personal, tangible and intangible, enumerated and unenumerated, to him. Larks lawyer interrupted to ask if Mr. Dawes had claimed the very clothes on the backs of his old friend, Mr. Terraine, and his daughter, Mistress Dana? I am a reasonable person," Plascutt stated with an air of offended dignity, and would not consider forcing such a claim. I allowed the Terraines to keep all small family effects, traveling clothes, a trunk of heirlooms, and certain inherited portraits. I considered that I acted generously as well as justly in this. A murmur of for shame went round the court room and Plascutt, Junior, blushed and shifted uncomfortably in his chair beside his mother who looked straight ahead with her nose in the air. Minnie said, "Judge, could that document be examined by anybody, me, for instance? Why, yes, I suppose so. It is properly a public exhibit. Plascutt produced it with some reluctance, and it was handed down the line. Minnie said, Squires writin looks mighty shaky here, a whole lot shakier than on a piece I've got receiptin' the transfer of a couple an hard-workin- r?

We must add our strength to the surging movement toward unity in among all men of good-wi- ll every part of the globe.
