It might lift tomorrow," she said. "The winds this wny, that way, now; but If It shifts; we'll get a change," Jenny made no comment, and the old woman added: "With so much rain, things aint atarted to grow yet Itll be a late spring, and sudden.

Marm Pierce opened the oven to see If the biscuits were done, and a blast of hot air struck her In the face. Whew P she exclaimed, and closed the oven. "I'm bound to air out or su ITcate," she said, and opened the kitchen door. Then she ejaculated: "Bart I I never heard you come up on the porch. Where' your team?" . Jenny turned and saw Bart there on the porch. Just outside the door. "Mud's too deep to git lu here and not founder, he explained. "I walked over from my bouse. Here's yore things!" Marm Pierce spoke sharply- - "Well, don't come tracking Into my kitchen," he said, and took hla burdens from him. Much obliged. Good night to you." And she pushed the door shut with her knee.

Rain was dancing on the roof and slatting against the weatherboard when Jenny went to bed; but site slept quickly, deeply, till he belated gray of a moist and sodden dawn. And woke and rose without mtegiv Ing. There were In her no premonitions. Yet this was the day when death and Saladine came to Hostile Valley, and the face of Jcnny'a world forever changed. Saladine, at the entrance of this hid- den Vullcy about which u many dark talcs clustered, checked his car on the lodge above Will Perrin farm for long enough to survey the scene, shrouded in a ailst-lik- e rain; but at last he Saladine assented.

Here the road was precipitous, and the rain the night before hud done damaging things to it. Water racing down the dlrches had gnawed Into the margins to such effect that there was not room- for a tar to pass. On one aide or tha other, the wheels must drop off Into the ditch; and the ditch itself wee so deep that If a car did suffer this mischance, Its wheels would be left spinning, with no footing under them. Saladine checked hie car with not ten feet to spare, and then began to back up this steep road, and ha was faintly pleased. Ferrln' farm would serve as a place to leave the car. He might sea Huldy there He becked past the drive that led Into the farmyard, and swung In; and ho passed the front of the house blank, with shades drawn down and the door uncompromisingly closed and came Into the barnyard. And then he raw through the open door of the sited a man. This man had been fitting store wood; he came to the shed door, with hie ax still In hie hand, to look at Saladine. A tall, lank man; a young man, an 111 man. Thera were Jim's first Impressions, In their order. But also, this man wore, absurd d ly, one of those felt hats which are repute 1 to be large enough to hold ten gallons of any liquid you chose to pour Into them. This was an old hat; the crown was dented and battered and there were holes In It; the brim curled In eccentric fashions; and there waa a horsehair band of many colors around the crown. Such a hat, designed to shed weather, designed to protect the head and face of a man on horseback from the stroke and slash of scrub brash through which he must ride, haa no proper function on a farm In Maine ; and Jim switched off hla engine and slid to the ground and approached this man, of half a mind to ask him the questions which his hat provoked. But Instead he only said: "Morning!" And he only asked: "You Will Ferrln?" "Will's In the house," the man answered, grudgingly. In a voice curiously shaken and hollow.

From the tales he hed beard of Huldy Ferrln he had thought to see In her a vicious slattern, the marks of her depravity plain to any eye; but this womnn did not fit the picture he had formed. She came slowly into sight, end leaned her shoulder against the aide of the door and looked at Snla-dlnshe looked at him In a calm, complete appraisal from bend to toe. with smoldering faintly spurkling eye.

She was one of those women who, no matter what they wear, seem to a man's eye unclothed. 8he looked at him, and with quickening eyes that suddenly were veiled as though she had drawn a curtain down ; and then she looked at the man In the shed. Aa though at command, Zeke began to split another billet of wood. Then tbe woman addressed Saladine. Yes," she raid.

Then the kitchen door opened, and a man came out of the house upon the side porch yonder. He was blond giant with steady eyes of a deep blue like the aky at dusk; his hair was straw yellow above hla wide brow. One leg waa gone below the knee; he wore a peg. And Saladine, seeing this, remembered the tale of how Seth Humphreys died.
