CHAPTER XVII.

For many weeks now Chip had suf-
fered from a troubled conscience, and,
like most Of us, was unable to face its
consequences and admit her sin.
Time and again she had planned how
she could best evade it and yet bring
those two brothers together without
first confessing. Old Cy must be told,
of course. She could explain her con-
duct to him. He would surely forgive
her, she thought, and then, maybe, find
another home for her somehow and
somewhere. Oversensitive as she was,
to now confess her cowardly conceal
ment and her deception of those who
had loved and trusted her, seemed
horrible.
But events were stronger than her
will, for one day in the last of August,
Uncle Jud returned from the village
store, bringing dress materials and
startling information. "Cap'n Bemis
is failin' purity fast" he said, so Aunt
Abby writes, an she amt comm up
here. 1t won't make no difference to

purpose seemed all the moro impress
sive. But 1t was In no wise wasted;
instead, 1t was like God-given sunshine
to a flower that has never known
aught except the chilling shadow of
a dense forest.
And now ensued an almost pathetic
play of interest, for Chip set herself
about the duty Of giving instead of OBJ
tanning pleasure.
She became what she was at Tins
Place,-a mental, so far as they would
let her,-and from early morning until
bedtime, some step, some duty, some
kindly care for her benefactors, was
assumed by her. She worked and
weeded in the garden, she drove and
MIXED the cows, she followed Uncle
Jud to the bayfield,, insisting that she
must help, until at last he protested.
II like We round me all the time,
grille" he assured her. "for ye're the
best O. company, n I'd rather see yer
face'n' any posy that. ever grew. But

"We'll All Love We Ten Times More"

common sense. It's effect upon Chip
had been as usual on her nature and
belief and this waif of the wilderness,
this gnome child, must not be judged
by ordinary standards. Like reflec-
tons from grotesque mirrors, so had
her ideas of right and duty been dis
torted by eerie influences and weird
surroundings. There was first the un-
speakable brutality of her father;
then the mental years at Tins Place,
with no more consideration than
horse or pig received, her only educa-
ton being the uncanny teachings of
Old Tomah. Under this baleful tut
ton, coupled with the ever present
menace and mystery Of vast wilder
ness, she passed from childhood into
womanhood, with the fixed belief that
brutes; that the forest was peopled by
a neither world of spites, the shadowy
forms of both man and beast; and
worse than this, that all thought and
action here must be the selfish ones
of personal gain and personal protec-
ton. Like a dog forever expecting a
blow, like any dumb brute ever on
guard against superior force, so had
Chip grown to maturity, cringing,
helpless, almost hopeless creature,
and yet one whose Unborn impulses
and desires revolted at her surround
ings.
Once removed from these, however,
and in a purer atmosphere, she was
like one born again. Her past impress
sions still remained, her queer belief
of present and future conditions was
still motive force, and the cringing,
blow-expecting nature was yet hers.
For this reason, and because this
new world and these new people were
so unaccountable and quite beyond her
ken in tender influence and loving
care. what they had done and for what

From the age of three months until

He used to tear himself dreadfully In

through is quite beyond words. The

And then "Pattycake" arrived.

And then "Pattycake" arrived.
Nearly a year before she had been
brought here, weary, bedraggled,
dusty, half-starved waif. Now Uncle
Jud met her at the station, his face
shining; Aunt Mandy clasped her
close to her portly person.; and as
Chip looked around and saw what had
been done in her honor and to make
her welcome, her eyes filled.
Il never thought anybody would
care for me like this" she exclaimed,
and then glancing at Uncle Jud, her
eyes alight, she threw her arms about
his neck and, for the first time, kissed
him.
And never in all his life had he felt
more amply paid for anything he had
done.
Then and there, Chip resolved to do
something that now lay in her power
to face shame and humbled pride
and all the sacrifice it meant to her
in the end, and reunite these two long
separated brothers. But not now, no,
not yet.
Before her lay two golden joyous
summer months. Aunt Abby was COM
ing up later. She could not face her
own humiliation now. She must wait
until these happy days were past, then
tell her wretched story, not sparing
herself one iota, and then, if she must,
go her way, an outcast into the world
once more:
How utterly wrong she was in this
conclusion, and how little she under
stood the broad charity of Uncle Jud,
need not be explained. She was only
a child as yet in all but stature. The

CHAPTER xxvI.-continued.

Somehow this strange wanderer, this
unaccounted-for waif, had crept into
his life and love as a flower would,
and "Pattycake," as he had named
her, with her appealing eyes and odd
ways, was never out of his thoughts.
And so the. winter dragged its slow,
chill course. Spring finally unlocked
the brook once more, the apple and
cherry blossoms came, the robins be-
gan nest-building, and one day Uncle
Jud returned from the corner with
glad smile on his face.
''Pattycake's schools go1n' to close
in a couple o weeks more, n then
she's comm home" he announced,
and Aunt Mandy, her face beaming,
made haste to wipe her specs" and
read the joyous tidings.
For a few days Uncle Jud acted as
if he had forgotten something and
knew not where to look for IL. He
fingered about the house when he
would naturally be at work. He peer
ed into one room and then another in
an distracted way, and finally Aunt
Mandy caught him in the keeping
room, with one curtain raised,-a
thing unheard of,-seated in one of
the haircloth chairs and looking
around.
Mandy" he said, as she entered,
do you know, / think them picturs

jest as though I'd like to throw a stun

on them picturs. but I'd like to chuck
the hull kit n Doodle into the COW
shed. An them winder curtains" he
continued, looking around, things so
blue they make me SILVER, an this car
pet with the figgers o. green and yal-
Ter birds, it sorter stuns me.
Now Pattycake's comm purity
soon. She must "a seen more cheer

tains, an only square of rag carpet

continued, looking around once more,
"how'd we over happpn I'm oft en- many
blue curtains?"
His discomfort with their home now
took shape in vigorous action, and
Aunt Mandy came to share it. Trip
after trip to the Riggsville store was
made. Two new chamber sets and
rolls Of carpeting arrived at the sta
lion six miles away, and came up the
valley. A paperhanger was engaged
OIL 4 kept busy for ten days. The
de. .th-bed pictures were literally kick
ed into the COW shed, and in three
weeks four rooms had been so recon
structed and fitted anew that no one
would recognize them.
Meanwhile Uncle Jud had utterly
neglected his craps" while he worked
around the house. The wide lawn had
been clipped close. A new picket
fence, painted white, replaced the
leaning, zigzag one around the Garden.
Weeds and brush disappeared, and only
