DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE.
(Winifred to Priscilla Bradford.)
Dear Prissie:
Your last letter accuses me of a
lack of confidence, and it's so. I
have been talking scenery" as you
say, and it is because a thing so
dreadful has happened that I haven't
been able to bring myself to write
about it, even to you. But I shall
lose my mind if I do not confide in
some one; and since you have asked
for share of the burden, you shall
have it.
lnasmuch as you know all the pitt
full foregoings, for you I can COM
press the dreadful thing into three
words: He is here. How he found
me out don't know; or if it were
design or a mere arrow of spiteful
chance; but the miserable fact re-
mains. He is the engineer in charge

there was a second thought potent
enough to make me stay-and suffer.
Put together all the little odds and
ends I have written about Mr.. Mac
pherson (but you have doubtless
done this long ago) and draw your
own conclusion. There is fuel enough,
God knows, to keep the shame-fre
burning all through my miserable
life, but this is not of it. Having
said so much, you will understand
what follows, reading between the
lines if you care to.
Our first meeting-the only one in
which he has had the hardihood to
speak: to me-was one evening when
I was walking home from the school
house with Mr.. Macpherson. He was
riding past and he recognized me,
wheeling his horse to fling himself
from the saddle and to add another
insult to all that has gone before Mr..
Macpherson resented it promptly,
like man and gentleman, and he
he struck him! After that, I knew
I had to stay; that oth~rwise there
would be more misery and perhaps
bloodshed; and however rich his de-

Dear Halcott:
I was foolishly glad to hear from
you again; glad to learn that Colo

able that L have not yet mastered
your opening sentences, but I gather
from readable word here and there
that you were convalescing from an
attack of 'barn fever,' whatever
that may be, when you wrote I
don't know the malady; but if you
are convalescent that is the principal
fact.
You are right in supposing that I
know something of Wykamp. He
was classmate of mine in the
school of engineering, and was with
me one year on the geodetic survey.
He is bad medicine in a moral way;'

Should say; the quality seems to have
been left out of his makeup. There
are localities on the Carolina coast
where he doesn't dare show his face
and he is no coward, either-and
even here in Boston where his people

doors which will never again open to
him. -

So have stayed and suffered, not
knowing what day might bring

to the dregs. Thus far, Mr.. Macpher-

lievings of him. His quarrel with the
land company is quite as bitter as
that of the settlers-the plans of the
company, if carried out, will practic-
ally dispossess him-but he will not
make it personal matter with the

self there Is reason to take courage;

she is in danger of becoming his

great deal, and Mans dislike for me
is growing day by day. What he has
told her, I can only surmise; but her
attitude toward me has lately
changed from frank aversion to
something like contempt. Merciful
