She had cause enough to hate the woman, not so much because Huldy had preempted the place In Will's heart to which the girl so long had yearned, but because Huldy had wronged Will and flouted him and embittered all his life these later years. But In this hour Huldy was no longer the woman whom Jenny at once hated and despised ; but only one who was hurt to death, and needed tenderness. So after this first reluctance, Jenny began the task Imposed upon her with gentle hands and pitying solicitude. Once while she worked Marm Pierce called some question, and Jenny answered it almost heedlessly; but a moment later she was alert, watching the hurt woman For Huldy had stirred; keenly. and Jenny saw a faint movement of the other's breast But Huldy did not rouse, and when there was no more that Jen- If Ton prefer nose drops, or throat spray, call for the clean Huldr.

After a long time, the pattern of the past began to shift and change, and Jenny glimpsed the future. Huldy was hurt, was dying. She would die, and Will would be left alone. Alone, and free. And Jenny, understanding, felt her pulse, quicken Its beat, and her cheeks grow warm. Her eyes began to shine. She had for the moment forgotten Huldy, In her thought of Will; yet she still stood above the hurt woman, looking down at her. And now suddenly she forgot Will again; for Huldy moved. Jenny saw her eyes half open, saw the lids crack, and the eyes blank and wandering stare op at the celling. Then Huldy's eyes met Jenny's and held them for a pulse beat that was eternity. She looked at Jenny, and then her lips twisted a little In t, that familiar, half-Insolen- smile.

Atk yow nelghborl ... recom-mend- ed from these Hps came a a low murmur of Ironic laughter, perhaps a word. Jenny bent lower, infinitely gentle; she whispered: "It's all right, Mis' Ferrln! We're taking care of you. Don't try to talk, ma'am. Just rest yourself." The smile widened, and this time Huldy spoke audibly. Her role was thin and strained, yet the words were clear enough. And they cut and burned and stung; for she said ; "You can have nlm now!" Jenny's eyes widened at that, as t a blow. She recoiled, though faintly, her cheek crimson ; but she gathered patient strength again. "Hush, ma'am," she whispered. "We've sent for Will He'll be right here. You rest yourself." Huldy's head moved faintly, as though It were terribly heavy, as thouKh she moved It by a slow tremendous effort. Her mouth was smiling still, dry Hps twisted mockingly; and she spoke yet once more. "He's finally fixed It so's he can have you," she said clearly, In that thin, strained, burning tone. "It was Will knocked me off. . . She gasped and seemed to choke as though she would cough. Her breath withheld, she whispered: "He hit me!" Her mouth opened wider. She seemed to strain as though In the effort to produce one further word. Her Hps drew tight across her teeth. Then she coughed faintly, convulsively ; and her breast swelled and remained distended, hollow. aching, for a long Instant Till the mockery faded from her eyes and left them blank and glazed; and she lay still, her smile now a fixed and mirthless grin. And there was no beauty In this that had been Huldy now. For a space after the woman died, there lay In the dining room a long silence of horror and dismay. Jenny could not for her life have moved. But the deep silence was broken presently, by a sound, sharp and startling; and at the same time hollow and sodden, as though a chair bad overturned and fallen on a rotten floor. Jenny heard It with half her mind ; and a moment later she beard a stir In the kitchen, and movement there, and voices too. Tet it was as though these things were Far off, remote from her and from he world In which she must here- iter dwell. A world forever shadowed by the knowledge that Will, no matter under what ugly provocation, had struck this woman down to her destruction In the end. Will, whom Jenny loved. Blind, spinning chaos whirled like stars through the girl's thoughts; but through this chaos like a lightning stroke came ber grandmoth er's voice. Marm Pierce called, from the kitchen: "Jenny, I'm opening the door!" And at once she did so; but that instant was for Jenny an eternity, In which she had time to comprehend, and to consider, and desperately plan. When she whirled to face them, she was already resolved that this dark secret none but herself should ever know; yet her own countenance might betray ber to the old woman's shrewdly understanding eye. Nevertheless she must face them ; and she whirled toward the door, standing with her arms spread as though to hide this behind her, as though half fearful that even now Huldy would speak again. And she sought desperately some expedient to divert their eyes from her, their minds from ber, lest her secret be too desperately plain. For "secret It must be! Though this hour must shadow and distort ber whole life hereafter, yet none should ever know. The door opened and Marm Pierce came In, came toward her; but the old woman's eyes and mind were on Huldy, and Jenny made way for her to come to the dead woman's side. Yet she felt Sala-dlneglance upon her, and fought desperately for composure; and then Marm Pierce said soberly: "No use now!" Bart asked huskily. "She's dead?" "Certain, she's dead." Bart spoke to the girl, In a quick whisper. "Jenny, did she come to at all?" he asked. Jenny wetted her Hps; but she could not speak. She could only move her head In desperate denial; and there was a dreadful, shaken terror In her. Then Marm Pierce demanded Irritably: "Well, Jen! What you goggling for? Folks have died before!" So Jenny found an expedient to turn this scrutiny away from herself. She remembered that toppUng chair. "There's someone In the Wln-sld- e the house," she said; and with a vast surge of relief saw their glances swing that way. . When Jenny had closed the aoor, shutting herself Into the dining room where Huldy lay, Marm Pierce sa.d Insistently to Bart : "You go along and fetch Will. Not that hurrying can help her ; but Will had ought to know." "I might do some help here," Bart still protested. Marm Pierce spoke w Saladlne. "Set down, you," she uade him. "Till I can rub that ankle of yours." 's lu't stand there arguing. t;o along wlih you!" So Hart went out tlii'ouch the shed, and Saladlne, said gravely: Ma'am, this ankle of mine run wait. If you ran be doing anything for her." "There's nought to d for Huldy Ferrln now," she told him In slow tones, and tossed her head. "And I dunno as I'd do It If there was! I'.ut I'll have to wait till the pot bolls, anyhow. Mlslit as well be doing this as setting here." He suggested : "You sent Carey to get some feathers. If there's uu chance, why . . She retorted: "I ret fidgety with him hanging around." And after a silent moment she looked toward the dining room, as though her thoughts turned that way. Saladlne asked: "How do you reckon Mis' Ferrln come to fall?" "I wsnt to know," said old Marm Pierce, and Jim stirred In quick attention. The phrase was usual enough, as an expression of surprise and Interest and wonder; yet Saladlne thought ber accent and ber Intonation had not been usual. There was a step In the shed, and She looked over Bart returned. her shoulder, saw him empty-hande"Where's them feathers?" she demanded. Bart seemed faintly to hesitate. "I couldn't find a dry one anywhere," be declared. "Tbe rain has wet them all!" She protested Irritably: "T.and sakes. I sh'd think you could find s dry one somewhere! You come And she said to along of mel" Jim, pointing toward the stove: "Let that boil up good, and then set It to cool. I'll be back In a minute to try It on her." He nodded, and she went out through the shed with Bart on her heels; and Saladlne was left wondering why old Marm Pierce was so bent on finding feathers to burn under Huldy's nose. If there was In fact no chance that the hurt woman could revive. Then suddenly his hair prickled faintly; for It seemed to him there was a low murmur In the dining room. And a chair toppled over, somewhere. The sound was loud and startling. Saladlne came to his feet, PAGE TIIHEE and hla eye was bold and ir..ng.

Yet Saladlne thought she had met Bart kindly today, treated him with courtesy. This might be guile; ghe might, while aitearlng in In nevertheless check upprove, every possible way the tendency of these two lives to flow together. SA8T Unli'KH ( l Saladlne recalled the heavy foolstock of the water Illy, which Jenny hail fetched thnt morning from the brook. Some shadow of a forgotten memory stirred In him, and was gone without recognition; yet this memory would recur. It was one of the Intangibles which made the whole of this day like a disordered dream. The root itself was tangible enough; yet there were Implications In It, Just as there were Implications In that peg leg Will Ferrln wore, and the cowboy hat so Jauntily set atop the bowed and humble bead of Zeke Pace, and the knotted rope thnt held Huldy Ferrln's garment close about her, and the boot prints on the fisherman's trail beside the brook, which bad somehow ended without Saladlne's remarking where they turned n1de. But most of all he thought of Huldy, and wondered how she came to fall to her death this day. Then suddenly the dining room door opened, and Jenny came out Into the kitchen, the old woman following her. "I'd best go myself," Jenny Insisted; and Saladine saw a sort of stubborn haste In her eyes. Marm Pierce protested: "Like enough Will and Bart will remember to bring something." "Not Will." Jenny retorted. Her voice was gentle as she spoke the name. "A man wouldn't think of It And It Isn't for men to do, anyway. Rummaging through her things." She took down a heavy oilskin coat from behind the kitchen door. "I'll go myself," she said. "If I meet Will, Til have him come on here, case you need anything. I'll get what's wanted and fetch It" Then she was gone. v 7 ? f'A . rf y. I?

The pot on the stove boiled, and as he lifted it Marm Pierce and Bart returned, and the old woman had a tuft of feathers In her hands. "Men are all blind as bats!" she exclaimed Irascibly. She saw the boiling pot "Now well try If there's anything to dot" And she went directly to the door between kitchen and dining room. "Jenny, I'm opening the door," she called, and waited a moment and then made good her word. So they came Into the dining room, and learned that Huldy was dead; and when Jenny said there was some one In the Win-sid- e of the house, Saladlne remembered that sound of a falling chair; and there seemed to him something hideous In the thought that anyone should prowl through those molderlng and empty rooms while a woman here was dying. But Bart said reassuringly: "That's likely Win, Granny. He stayed at my place last night He set out to go to Liberty this morn ing, but he might stop by here !" The old woman assented scornfully: "He would If he was drunk enough! You go ahead, Bart, and fetch Will, and don't waste no time." So Bart at last departed; but Saladlne paid no particular atten tion to his going. He was watching Jenny, puzzled by something In her eyes he could not read. He had seen In her a while ago deep terror, un mistakable; yet now It was gone. She had put on composure, and a steady courage; and he wondered, and wished to read her mind. There was nothing to keep Saladlne here; yet he stayed, and with a sense of waiting, an acute expectan cy. He thought more and more of Jenny, remembering ber terror .at the Sight of death, and the she Jo w in her eyes. Life for her inust In the end centet about some nun. Bart Carey, perhaps?
