In fact, he did not even see Evelyn slip quietly into a faint, or Marcus snatch her into his arms as if he never Intended to let her go. It was only Polly who heard the passionate love words that came from lips that had so often flung oaths at her and her people. S,)e watched Marcus dulty, her heart aching and her muscles rigid with paqi. Robert had not believed what Evelyn had said! He had gone away without a word to her ! Of course, then, he did not love her any morel Unnoticed by the MacRenzies, Polly Hopkins sat very quiet, chile Evelyn, who had regained consciousness, was clinging to her husbands neck afid listening to his assurances that she was forgiven. Then suddenly, through fhe low rumble of Marcus voice and the sighs and sobs of Evelyn, Pollyop heard a shrill squatter anil. She rose slowly to her feet and stood rooted to the spot The voice that had sounded was high, childish, like Wee Jerrys. With the superstition if her kind, Polly was overcome by a great fear. Jerry was dying alone In a place of strangers! His little spirit had called to her in the grief of its going! She cast a glance at the man and the woman. They were wholly enveloped in themselves and paid, no attention to the plaintive wail that broke from her lips. She struggled to the door and opened it, end there right before her startled eyes was Daddy Hopkins, with Jerry astraddle his neck.- Daddy!" came in one bewildered cry from her shaking lips. Then they faded from her vision, and the brown eyes yielded to semiconsciousness, and was lost in complete oblivion. When Polly Hopkins again lifted her lids, she was surrounded by a group of people whom at first she did not recognize. Then Daddy Hopkins detached himself from the rest He was seated very near her. That was nice, indeed! she thought dimly. She must have dreamed that Old Marc had sent him to prison. Wee Jerry was cuddled at her side. Then he, too, had never gone away What brought full remembrance to her was the sight of Larry Bishop She Was in the Big Squatter's Outstretched Arms in a Twinkling, Weeping Against His Breast. leaning against the wall at the foot of the bed. He was looking at her with d eyes, his cracked lips working painfully. Larry, she cried, struggling up. It was Marcus MacKenzie that shoved himself in beside Jeremiah and bent over her. Larry didnt do It, Daddy; I did, she moaned. Please, Mr. MacKenzie, please, believe me! She crawled wearily into Jeremiahs arms and hugged his bushy head. ' Oh, Daddy Hopkins, I got to goto to jail. I been a wicked bad " She was straining so to finish that Robert Perclval was no longer able to keep quiet. He stepped forward so that Polly saw him over Daddys She glared at him wildly. shoulder.

And weve forgotten it, too, boomed in. "Yesterday it wouldn't have been any great lost If my vvhoie family had been sunk in the lake. We were all more wicked than any one In the Silent City. But tonight Its different ! Polly straightened up, her eyes brilliant with questioning, she asked, does he Daddy, mean I aint goin to Jail for tty lifelong? Oh.

Awful much," she sighed; then she turned and looked at Bishop, standing , ' against the wall. What about Larry? she murmured Poor, poor Larry." softly. "Ill help him, too, Marcus agreed eagerly. one small moment. , Polly cogitated Theres Lye Braeger, she sighed He aint got many friends, again. Lye aint! MacKenzies laugh sent a sense of relief over the gloomy group. "Then Lye Braeger, too, he exclaimed, "and any other squatter who wants to work. Pollyop, overwhelmed with this generosity. stood up before him, curls showering each shoulder and framing her lovely, eager face. I guess mebbe you were an angel all the time, like Granny Hope said she said shyly. "Im thankin once, you, sir, an I Im hopin the little one Gods sendin In the summer'll look Just like like a smile touched her lips "Just like Jerry, she ended. Because she was so simply natural, MacKenzie replied solemnly: If my child looks as much like me, as Jerry looks like his father, PU be satisfied. Then he hurried his wife away, offering to carry Robert home with them. No,, sir, said that young man stoutly. Ive got to talk to PolLv Hopkins. Im goin now, too, grunted Larry Bishop. Got to go an see Lye Braeger. Hes sick in bed with a stum-mic- k ache. Good night, Poll I See you tomorrow, Jerry Hopkins. He made a gesture of farewell to Robert; and Pollyop went to the door with him. There she brought a wry, twitching smile to his lips by throwing her arms about his neck and kissing him. .Its all right now, Larry, dear I she whispered. "Good-by- . When she turned slowly to Robert, her face wa3 suffused with crimson blood. Aint your horses gettin cold, sir? she queried. Its worse outside than when you came! ,, Jeremiah blinked at. them, went to the cot and picked 'up the drowsy baby. To hide his embarrassment, he seated himself and rocked the child back and forth. He was almost afraid of his beautiful daughter, dressed so unlike herself, her hair banging lu glistening curls over Evelyn Robertsons exquisite clothes. The horses are well covered, Polly, answered Robert. Ill make it worth the drivers while to wait a bit. Then unable to bear the strain any longer, he burst cut: Darling, can you ever forgive me? She gave him one melting glance and like a fluttering bird sped into his arms and stayed there. And thus the two young things, with nothing between them and long stretches of happiness, clung to each other until the tinkle-tinkl- e of the MacKenzie sleigh bells was lost In the night. Then the squatter girl, disengaging herself from her sweethearts arms, went to her father. she breathed, bending Daddy, over him, ever since I mended the roof that day the same day Old Marc came home, Ive been lovin' she reached back her hand, and Robert Chokclasped it, Ive been lovin ing, she could get no farther in that important explanation. Robert stepped beside her, and rested his hand on the down-behead. He knew now that though she was a squatter, one of the despised of the earth, he loved her better than the whole world. , Its just like Granny Hope said, Daddy,5 Pollyop went on, jhe velvety brown softening the misty eyes. She said. Granny Hope did, that loves bigger an bettern hate any day. An its true, aint it? Yep, nodded Hopkins, smoothing her face with one great hand. I guess so, brat It sure is, added Robert in her ear. Then he looked at Jeremiah. May I have her some day, sir? he asked In reverent tones. Ill make her so happy you wont regret It. Jeremiahs big frame shook, and Pollyop, ever devoted to him, kissed him tenderly. Ill never leave you. Daddy darlln, precious old Daddy, she cried.
