'VfllVlLtl HOUSTO' MCKSONVII.I
! In these days she accepted nearly every
thing without question. When the woman
she had seen with Brancaster on the day
he was known to her merely as the artist
called at Falconhurst and asked-to be al
lowed to sit by the side of Brancaster
the girl had led her without question to
the bedchamber, though her grand father
had subsequently seen that a footman
performed that office.
Lady Diana had not inquired as to the
woman visitor anything more than her
name The “Mrs. D’Aquila” she had re
ceived told hp- nothing and she did not
ask other information as to the dark,
foreign appearing wofhan who seemed to
take Brancaster’s injury »<• deeVly to
heart.
1 here was within Lady Diana a deep
spiritual sense She felt that the stricken
earl might di indeed, she had beard
It so whispered, though the marquis tried
to spare her such thoughts as these. She
felt in her pure consciousness of small
sin that if he died without receiving the
benefit of the Church of England, or of
any clergyman, there would be a cloud
upon both his chances in a. world which
might understand him better and upon
her own conscience. She. could not* for
get those murmured words as the car
shot by her, and that waving of the hand.
Surely “that within us which makes for
righteousness’’ could not ignore such a
spirit. His was a rare soul, which must
have Its change in that void into which it
hourly seemed about to escape.
So she had dispatched a note to the
vicar, innocently unmindful of the fact
that “Sporting Jack - ’ Thorpe rode far
better to hounds than he did to grace,
and that even theft he was taking the
cure for gout far from the village the
great name of which was Beverley.
Lady Di and Sartoris.
Today, just as the sun was about to
set, she was waiting on the terrace of
the Italian garden for the appearance of
Thorpe in answer to her summons. As
she walked to and fro along the terrace,
with many glances down the little path
known to her friends who did not wish
to drive three miles along the road
through the acres of the marquis before
they reached the castle, she was joined
, by her cousin. Captain Greville Sartoris.
'l'lie captain was, as usual, “devilishly
bard up,” and he was trying to evolve
away to make “a killing.”
To him Lady Diana expressed her fear
that Brancaster might die before a cler
gyman could see him.
“My dear Di.” exclaimed Sartoris, “he's
just as likely to come to himself and wake
I up as .he is to kick off. and when he
does wake up. mind you, DI, he won’t
ask for any parson. He’ll ask for the
lady who is silting by him now.” *
The birth of what may have been jeal
ousy began in Lady Diana. It was not
strong, and merely manifested itself at
this moment by a curiosity not usual
with this gentle, though self contained,
English girl.
“Greville. who is Mrs. D’Aquila?” she
asked suddenly.
There was astonishment in her cou
sin's face, as he realized that the ordi
narily self sufficient Diana, who usually
was content with the personal knowledge
that her own senses conveyed to her. had
[ asked him a question on a plane with
• those asked by the ordinary members of
' her sex. Nevertheless, he did not pause
lin his answer.
“Oh, you know. DI. she was staying at
i 1 lievers when the smash came—staying
I there with a very tame chaperone—oh.
i she <loes everything very correctly
; “But who is she, Greville?”
“She was a married woman moving in
| good, society,” said Sartoris. “She is—er
[ - -still received in some society. She is
i exactly the sort of woman who suits the
i Brancaster sort of man. She is not the
sort of woman Beverley would wish me
to discuss with you.”
He stopped and looked into her face.
She seemed abstracted, musing upon
something very far away. He tlanight
that there was a look of tenderness on
her face. Perhaps this wasn’t the right
moment —but he was rather hard up. you
know, and they were alone. Who could
tell when they would be so again, and
the girl was heir to much. It wan worth
' ' trying. Sartoris cut in on her thoughts
| | with :
"The more I see> of women like Mrs.
I D'Aquila. the sweeter, the fresher, the
I dearer seem the natural, real, true girls
; the girls like you. DI. You've been an
1 awfully good pal to me. and I want to
1 see you— I’ve never talked nonsense and
love to you, Di. ami ah.iliai bally rot.
Hut I’ve learned to love you lor your
self, and because I’ve seen the world and
know your wprth in 11. Tin not a saint,
but every hour with you makes a man
better, makes him try to be more worthy—
Is it quite impossible- Think. Di! lam
the heir to the title, and. with you as my
wife, the Beverley fortune and the Bever
ley title would he brought together,"
Proposal Declined.
Not all of this speech Lady Diana heard
Now she slightly smiled and made a com
monplace gesture refused to be
moved by what she unconsciously felt to
be another of the constant of
Iter cousin to reduce life’s odds more in
his favor.
"Greville, it's quite impossible." she
said, "and for the sake of friendship and
cousinship, let’s hear nothing further
about it—ever—”
To the relief of Lady I Hana, tills dis
tasteful conversation with her cousin was
ended by the appearance upon a lower
slope of a youngish man in clerical dress.
She went to greet him, and lie explained
that he. the Rev Verner Haslam, was
laking the place of the vicar during the
latter's absence During this explana
tion of the stranger who had received
Lady Diana's note. Sartoris, who appar
ently had recognized Haslam, smiled
slightly.
I laid.' Diana was about to lead the
stranger to Brancastor's apartment, after
he£ explanation of the accident ami the
unconsciousness of the earl, when she saw
that the clergyman and Sartoris were
exchanging strange looks. Sartori- broke
the Silence as he said with a sneer:
"I feel that the poor sufferer will be
benefited by the ministrations of so good
ly a divine as the Rev. Verner Has
lam.''
The rudeness of it all shocked Lady
Diana, and she could not relieve the sit
uation by other than a perfunctory in
quiry to the man in clericals:
"You know my cousin'”’
The eyes of the young clergyman sought
the face of Sartoris almost pleadingly :
“I did at Oxford." he said, as though he
were asking that something in the past
be ignored "Bui we have not met for
many’ years.''
Then with tuioth ir troubled look at Sar
toris be passed toward Ihi rustle with
Diana.

' the early greatness of the- Osmanli
| Turks as that of the Janissaries. Tile
i foundation of tiie famous corps which
; bore the Turkish standard all over tile
i Nearer East and Barbary was due to
(Sultan < irklian and his brother and
I vizier. Ala-ed-Din.
| The early Osmanli armies were dis
orderly swarms of horse bowmen, use
less for siege work, and the Turkish
yeomen, whom <irklian tried to form
into battalions of infantry, proved of
small service. Thereupoti the brothers
—Ala-ed-Din is popularly supposed to
have suggt sti.-d tiie idea —decided to im
pose op their Christian subjects a trib
|ute of children who should be trained
: inlo a military order. The utter cal
lousness of the idea is worthy of a
Turk, but its success was marvelous.
Cut off from all ties of country, kith
and kin, these descendants of Christian
parents developed into the most terri
ble weapons of Mahometan conquest
that the world has ever seen.
Orkhan called upon Haji Bektash. a
famous devotee, to bless the new corps
when it first paraded. Tiie old man
came to the head of the line and laid
I his iiand. with its white sleeve falling
j back from it, on tile first soldier's head.
“Be ye called Yen-icherf” (new sol
diery), he said. ’May your faces ever
shine. May your right arms be ever
strong, your swords keen, your lances
winged and may ye be victorious for
ever and for aye!"
And in memory of that day the men
were equipped with white caps with a
n hite streamer to recall the sleeve. The
original cap with its streamer varied
later witli different regiments, as may
be seen by studying the costumes of
tiie queer little collection of dummy fig
ures in the museum at Constantinople.
In 1328 there were 1,000 soldiers. In
a century and a half they conquered al!
the Nearer East. Their crowning ex
ploit was the storming of the breaches
