No, he determined to go back there
honorably, as he had left. He might
get a job shoveling snow-but alasl it
was one of those cheerless Christ
masses, and nature had not even sup
piled the people out of work with
snow to shovel.
Mulcahy had worked all his life.
He was fifty now, and, as he unrolled
the long catalogue of calamity which
other people might have called his
career, he found that the only year
of his life that had been a happy one
was his last in Jail.

day he advertised in all the papers
that he wished to reward the person
who had restored his daughter to her

But Malcahy never learned OF lis
golden opportunity which might have
given him a new start In life, though
he gave the officer who accompanied
him to the island the name and ad-
dress of the little owner OF the neck

For Mulcahy, dazzled by liberty,

minutes more the man knew that the
