 KENNY MUCKLEHENr


 A look of cunning settled about Abe's mouth as he finished his surrep- tltious reading. It was no slight shock to discover that he had so strong a rival as Hen Mucklehenny. Neverthe- less he felt quite equal to coping with him.
 Without an instant's hesitation he tore the sheet and the envelope into tiny bits. "She won't never see that! And when he comes Sunday and she ain't round he'll think she's dis couragin' him and he'll lose heart And then mebbe he'll take to Ollie fur all if he keeps on comin' and settin' up with her, because he ain't got cheek enough to tell her 1t ain't her he means"
 A few moments later Kinross, at the ringing of the dinner bell. ostenta- tiously joined the other men at the pump to wash his face and hands and comb his hair before coming to the table. This performance was part of his disguise as a farmland. but today 1t defeated its own ends. for the two young ladies. coming into the kitchen from the front porch. where they had spent the morning in hammocks and rockers. made note of the fact that when Pete took his turn at the kitchen pump he did not use the family towel on the roller. but carried his own towel on his arm and coubed his hair with his own pocket comb instead of using the family comb which always lay on the window ledge, convenient for the use of every one.

She stopped short in her quick walk and half turned to go back. Her eyes fell upon two figures just coming into the orchard and walking toward the spring house. They were the young Ia dies, and they had spied Pete where he still stood by the fence. Daisy's ripping, shallow laughter foated to her on the quiet evening air. She stood still and watched. Would pr. Kinross go away when he heard them coming? Yes. he was moving off, though escape was not very easy. She heard Daisy call out 10 him to stop him. She saw him hesitate, then turn back and wait. Daisy ran up to him and caught hold of his shirt sleeve. Georgiana followed with slow, stately grace.
 Presently the three of them went across the orchard together toward the lane that led to the hill. Were they going to climb the hill together? The sunset view from there was very fine. It was the one spot in all the region that was dear to her, because here, in solitude, she had known some hours of peace and even of happiness. and the place had come to seem to her her very own. And now those girls were going there with hlm-to her hill.
 She shrank back into the shadow of. some trees as they came near enough to see her.
 Its q good deal of a climb" she heard Dr. Kinross say in tone of warning.
 I'm gamer Daisy declared. And then they moved out of her hearing.
 She watched them as they emerged into the road and went up the lana until they disappeared around a bend at the foot of the hill.
 Her bosom rose and fell in a long deep breath as at last she turned away and slowly. with her head wea- rily dropping, walked through the gar den to the kitchen porch and went into the house.

1t was the 18th of May and a Thurs

was silent in the condemned cells, for
even Creasey's voluble tongue had
ceased to wag, and Tom lay thinking
on his bed. His companion was q
trashy hound, ever cursing God or en-

u~nburdening his sordid soul to Tom

and enmity upon him day after day.

its horrid levity, its coarse swagger

testing his innocence, abusing his dead

the hour together. Tom lay awaiting
the reaction which would follow as
surely as the morning, and tonight it
was before it's time. The silence had
been dead indeed, but not long so,
when the creature leaped from his pal

was kneeling by it's neighbor, fawning
over Tom with trembling arms and
twitching fingers.

And he was strutting up and down
the cell, trembling from head to foot
and laughing horribly through his
chattering teeth.
But a worse sound yet cut his laugh

and the rafting of keys.
