Chapter IS The Hunt THEY had dinner, just the three of them in the spacious, white walled dining-room. Afterwards, Nina played pool for a while with ' Carl as Hester sat back looking like some old feudal painting, with her tapestry frame . . . and at 10:30. the; went to bed. Carl said as he did every hunting-eve: "You can't hunt and stay up late." : So they said their good nights. Hester turned a cool cheek for Carl's kiss, and they went to their separate rooms. Nina dreamt that she and Rich ard were walking, hand in hand, down a long, flower-bordered path. She felt tired when she woke up. - But soon the excitement of the day overcame her fatigue: dress ing by lamplight, breakfast, Eng lish fashion, with hot dishes at the sideboard a young fellow named Tommy someoody or other, and Lilith Kent came over to join . them; gay, sleepy greetings; the creak of leather . . . the faint jin gling of steel. . . , "Well, Tommy, better luck to day, young fella' You're riding A stiff post and rail. Headstrong if I'm not mistaken." Carl was mounting him. "Nine-year-old, clean bred, doing his fifth season. Capable, courageous, but a trifle er well, Headstrong . k right, hal ha!" Laughter. Prophecies. Wagers. "Good morning, Mrs. Semple. ' You really shouldn't bother to get up so early. ..." Hester came In, in a floaty, buttercup-colored thing that Nina felt was an unfortunate choice. It Coade her look slightly sallow. Lilith said, in her straightfor ward way: "Poor Hester. I've heard of golf widows, but you're a real hunt widow, aren't you?" And Hester crossed over to the buffet with that peculiar, numb look on her face. "Yes," she answered, quietly, "but it's my own fault of course. A Born Blows, Whips Crack IT WAS another tradition at Harmony that Carl always "hacked" to and from the meets. If he had a houseful of guests, they were usually driven over in light brakes, or the tally-ho, but this morning his three friends rode ' over with him. Outride the air was fresh . . . tangy. The four hunters were wait- lng at the steps. We'll take the cut through Scarborough wood " said Carl, and they were off. As they neared the end of the wood path, the gray through the trees gradually began to change to violet to salmon, to pink . . . and Just as they came out upon a glori ous stretch of open country, to gold! The fullest moment of beauty . . the sunrise. Far away they heard a hound. At the Manor, there was a crowd of cars, carriages and a small army of grooms. Only a few had mount ad. the rest were standing about in their top-coats chatting, till the arrival of the master. "He's arrived!" "All up!" A horn blew. Whips cracked, and they were off. Down the main road they went $500,000 SETTLES ROW OVER ESTATE OF FAMED HETTY GEN NEW YORK. Nov. fllTP. The aquabble over the $70,000,000 eitate I ft her aon by tha Midni Hetty Oreen tu settled out of court today for tftoo.ooo. Surrogate Harry Owen ot Emx county announced that Mrs. K. H R. aren, daughter-in-law of Hetty, had agreed to accept that sum I join Mr at. A. Wltka, alfcter of the late Bdward H. R. Green, one-leffwed eo otmtrlo who died June 9. )S3fl. The agreement aettled Mre Oreena claim that ahe hud been induced In fra-nupUai afrcemeut to alga t-vay at first, the brittle rhythm ol horses' hoofs mingling with the creak of saddlery, and the sharp cries of the huntsman to his hounds. "Lope on there. ..." "Aye e, Colonell" "Coop on. Echo!" Nina took a great deep breath from sheer exhilaration . . . held it; and Carl, riding beside her, saw it and smiled. He understood just how she felt. Presently, drawing from an im portant covert, a hound opened in a loud, resounding voice. "Echo!" cried Carl. "Never opens unless she's sure she's riant. We're for it!" And they were. Through the woods; across a field, with the weird gray mist in their nostrilt curling up from a nearby marsh over a wall, a ploughed Held; ( muddy brook; a stiff post and rail It was tough going. "Damn that Worthlngton crea ture!" swore Lilith, cantering eas ily at Nina's side. "She's been ir my pocket all morning!" "Too bad. Where's Tommy?' Everybody kept an eye on younj Tommy, apparently, he was such a very bad rider . , . and such s brave. "He got a refusal down thi road." Poor Tommy. They both grinned and separated a bit Tommy Falls Off TWO fox were run to ground be fore there was a pause foi sandwiches. A few of the ladiet dropped out for bridge but not many they were a hardy lot. A1 two o'clock, hounds found again at the far end of the Miles Covert Away they streamed, and the field settled down to what promised to be a nice long gallop. It was tough going. After about 40 minutes, Nina saw Tommy's bay up in front peck on to his nose at a rail fence. He scraped and bumped along for some distance, first on his knees, then on his chin. She swerved sharply, to avoid a collision, and drew rein. "Okay, Tommy?" His nice, freckled face was quito unrecognizable from mud, but he appeared to be sound. "This mug is crazy," he mut tered. "Just to prove I was wrong, he took that last bit of timber at the roots!" "Chance-y sort of jumper, 1 should say . . ." Nina remarked, diplomatically. "Oh, well, there's always the hound van!" He laughed, and was up again. She thought: "Good boy, Tom my," and pressed the mare. Gray Dawn, lightly with her knees. In a way it was a wonderful day, and yet she found herself think ing of Richard so constantly that it was dreadful . . . wanting him by her side to share the mo ments of beauty with which these hours were so replete. But she tried, steadfastly, not to think of him, and when she couldn't help herself, she urged her horse forward, so recklessly that once or twice she almost over rode the hounds. "Watch yourself, Nina," warned Carl, sharply. "The M.F.H.'s got his eye on you. . . . Anything wrong?" It was not like Nina to commit this grave offence. Everything was wrong, but she couldn't tell him. Then ... at 3:30, It happened, as suddenly as a clock strikes out the hour in the night They were crossing the main road at top speed at a point just south of Scarborough wood, when Nina's Gray Dawn collided with a thrust ing woman follower, slipped on the frosty macadam, and went down.

With the fall of the Roman Empire the secret of the Blue Grotto's location was lost.

Declaring that the Klamath organ isation had acted prematurely, Os borne said: "We want to call. to your attention the folly of the labor movement of one section of the state acting in dependently of the entire movement upon candidacy of anyone who series an office."
