Murdook's heart. He had seen Winpy Cavana
on more than one evening, leave the house and
take the turn toward Kate Mulveys. On these
occasions he had the meanness and want of
spirit, to watch her movements and although
he could not satisfy himself that young Lem
non came to meet her, he was not quite salts
fed that he did not.
Winny invariably turned into Kate Mulvey's
and remained there for a long visit Might

The fact u.s. since Toms threat about win

game was not one which could be played out
that-and tho means which he would be
obliged to adopt were not exactly ready ut his
hand. He saw that matters were not pressing
ans he s if they
win unexpectedly. Thus the smile of Toms
thoughts still took their tone from the race
course and he would " hold hard for another
which made him pursh forward toward the
front if he lad any hope to come in first"
Edward Lennon having finished his Gland
overseership being held over, for the present,
had got another rather long job, ON the far
part of Ned Cevan's farm. in laying out and
cutting drains, where the land required re-
intelligence, in both planning and performing,
that old Ned was quito delighted with him,
and began to regret that he had not known
his value ON agricultural laborer BEFORE"
There was one other at least-ifno two-who
sympathized in that regret At all events
there he was now every day up to his hips in
dirty red clay, scooping it up from the bottom
of little drains more than three feet deep, in a
long iron scoop with o crooked handle. This
job was at the far end of Ned's farm, and, in
coming to his work, Lennon need hardly come
the direction of Shanvilla. Enron did not
quit work until it was late; he was then
in anything but visiting trim, if such thing
were even possible. He, therefore, saw no

But q grand object had been attained never
theless-he was working for Ned Cavauna, and
performance of the job, and on one occasion
old Ned had called him Emon-a-wochal," o
term of great familiarity. This was o great
change fer the better If young Lennon had
ogy as Tom Murdoch, be also would have
thought that he would "make q waiting race
Of it, But the expression of his thoughts was
that he wonld "bide his time"
The Sundays, however were still available,
and Emon did not lose the chance. He now
became 80 regular an attendant at Rathcash
