Occupying a dilapidated shack In the Silent City, a equMter settlement near Ithaca, New York, Polly Hopkins lives with her father, small Jerry, and an old woman, Granny Hope. On an adjacent farm, Oscar Bennett, prosperous farmer, is a neighbor. He Is secretly married to Evelyn Robertson, supposedly wealthy girl of the neighborhood. Polly alone knows their secret. Marcus who owns the ground the squatters occupy, Is their deter- a mined enemy. Polly overhears conversation between MacKenzie and a stranger, In which the former avows hts intention of driving the squatters from his land. The stranger sympathizes with the equal ters, and earns Pollys grati-- t iae. Evelyn Robertson discovers from her mother that they are not itch, as she supposed, but practical living on the bounty of Robert Perclval, Evelyns cousin. 1 e, CHAPTER III. 3 As she ra.i, Polly Hopkins cogitated on MacKenzies words. Evelyns mother had said that she v as as odd as she was filthy. ' Mis. Robertson!

Added to, Pollys personal humiliation was MacKenzies threat against Daddy Hopkins. The I tope Robert Percivals words liad instilled in her seemed to die as she traveled, and her heart beat with fear, for should Old Marc get his fingers on Daddy Hopkins, Polly had no doubt there would be nothing but imprisonment for him and the graveyard for her and Jerry. She could not think of life without her father. Not a single night had she ever been away from his kindly love and attention and Wee Jerry! A vivid picture rose before her of the babys grief if he could not straddle daddys neck and play his father was a horse. When she reached the top of the ragged rocks, she pulled up and cast a glance out over the lake. The calling of her name made her turn swiftly. Recognizing Evelyn Robertsons voice, 6he waited while the other girl came down the path from MacKenzies woods. She was quite unlike the little squatter. A fashionable raincoat protected her from the wet; and she carried a light umbrella in her gloved hand. The greeting between them was one of embarrassment. I were goin to find my daddy, Hes somewheres Polly explained. along the lake. I didn't know Id come on you this mornin. The memory of Mrs. Robertsons words brought a rush of color to her face, and she looked down at her feet. There surged up in her a feeling that she did not want anything to do with any of these people. Why should she? They were rich; and she was only a squatter bratf She started to walk sway.

No one and me, must ever know about Oscar began, still harping Evelyn in Jeremiah shack burned to the rocks." Mebbe not," replied Polly simply.

Her own troubles filled her mind. The shock of her mother's disclosure stunned her, for without the help she had expected, she could see no way out of Oscar Dennetts clutches. In the meantime, tir squatter girl was her only means of communication. Wait, Pollyop, wait a minute! 1 tame down just to speak to you. Wheeling slowly around, Polly faced her. What do you want? she asked in surly tones. Pollyop, ejacu'ated Evelyn, coming swiftly to her side, Im almost scared to death. My cousin, Bob oh, you've got to help me again ! Bob I Then the soldier in the uniform was Evelyns cousin. Bob I That was the nicest name in all the world, a name fitted for the man who had dropped into the Silent City to help along the squatters. Suddenly her mood changed. She forgot Oscar Bennett and his odious words, forgot that the girl crying for her aid had allowed her mother to say dreadful things against her and Daddy Hopkins. If Evelyn were related to the soldier, then Polly Hopkins would do anything Miss Robertson asked of her. What do you want? she repeated shylv blushing. Its this, answered Evelyn.

The squatter girl nodded. She would rather have been switched than see Os-cBennett again. , Yep, she assented. Til hunt him up late this afternoon and then hustle right over to you. I got to go now For some moments after Evelyn left her, Polly watched the slim figure on the path to the woods. Then she suddenly remembered Marcus MacKenzie and without a backward glance hurried swiftly toward the , south. i Meantime three squatters from the Silent City were in the Bad Man's ravine, dressing the fish they had netOne enormous ted the night before. man was seated on a flat rock, his bare feet almost touching the water as It hurried by to the lake. On his shoulders, with his legs wound tightly around the man's neck, sat a small boy, little more than a baby. He was shivering with cold, and, as the spring rain shot its drops upon his face, he lifted a small hand and brushed them away. Seemingly oblivious of the weight against his swarthy head, the man picked up a fish and contemplated It with a scowl. Then he proceeded to clean it deftly. The silence was unbroken for a long time except by the rushing of the water, the gruesome running of the knives over the fish scales and a little whimper, now and then, from the child astride the mans neck.

Hadn't she ducked out of sight of the unsympathetic lady many a time when lurking near the Robertson home with a message from Oscar to Evelyn? 1 dont know what I will do, Polly," the other girl went on, if you don't help me and some time Ill really do something for you. A temptation to blurt out the words Marcus MacKenzie had spoken assailed the squatter girl; but Evelyn looked worried!
