CHAPTER XIV.

There was gloomy silence in the
shanty until the horses hoofs could
be heard no longer in the snow out
side. Larry Bishop crouched low III
Jeremiah's rocking chair, pulling i'll
nervous tension at his fingers, until
the joints cracked. He shot Polly
Hopkins furtive glance but dropped
his thick lids before the unearthIy ex-
preston in the girls eyes. She had
lost the look of heavenly compassion
that had given cheer to the squatters.
As mis- mind went back to the spring
days when she had so often smiled
comfort into his own aching heart, he
heaved deep sigh. The sound of his
breath, catching in his throat, brought
Polly scrambling from the cot.
Unlnindful of the morose squatter,
she began pacing the floor, holding icy
fingers 10 her aching temples.
Best take the pillows off'n her,
Poll" muttered Bishop. She'll smoth-
er if you don't"
The girl paused and threw him a
glance over her shoulder.
Get out of here, you Larry she
babe him in fierce emphasis. "She'd
better smother than get what's comm
to 'er. You an Lye hang around a
while till call you. When I'm done
with er, you'll have to sink her M the
lake"
Staggering to his feet, Larry
brushed away the water that had
gathered in glister!ng drops upon his
hrnu.

Uncle Ben was a jealous member
of the church. His brother, Uncle
Billy, in late middle life, was yet num-
bered with the goats" but was finally
converted.
At the next 2ervice the preacher
called on Uncle Billy to lead in prayer.
Uncle Billy knew his deficiencies and
remained silent. Again the preacher
called. and third time, saying,

A gurgling noise came from under
the pillows on the cot, and as II an
unseen hand were pushing her for

jeried away the small feather ticks.
Evelyn's eyes sought out the squat

laughed; and gray with horror at her
merciless attitude, Larry skunk to the
door.

he fled as If pursued by a vIndictive
spirit of the Storm country. -
Again with swift, long strides the
girl went to the door and barred It.
Then with utmost deIiberation she
lighted several other candles and set
them In different parts of the hut I'm

through the room.
A long deep sigh fell from her lips
as she finished her task. She wanted
to see every wave Of pain that shot
across Evelyn MacKenzie's paIlid
face; and that was why she ap-
preached the cot and stood looking
down upon the twisted figure.
All she had endured through the
rich girls perfidy swept over her like
a tidal wave. Out of the dark dream

of Jerry's going she could hear
through the moaning willows the
weird last cries of the baby. The
memory almost drew a shrek from
her. Then she rolled the living bundle
from the bed and propped in into
sitting position.

act had been, so did she lift the ak
from the floor.

Evelyn struggled, and a muff1ed
sound came from back of the gag in
her mouth. T..
While Polly contemplated her, an
emotion she used to know so often
rose within her and tugged at her
heart until the hurt made her clutch
at her side. She dropped down and
ran her fingers under the heavy cord
with which the girl was bound.
Ropes hurtin' you, huh?" she
queried.
An affirmative bob of her head was

Ii was scarcely perceptible, the
negative shake that followed this
question.
IF you've got to die you might as
well go on full belly" ended Polly,
getting up.
She took piece of hard bread and
poured some hot water ON it. Watch
ing Evelyn frowningly, she beat them
together with a tin spoon. OF course,
the stuff was tasteless without sugar |!
Polly knew 1t very well, because that
was what she had for supper every
night.
She turned away from the cup in
her hand and went to small cup
board over which hung a f1imsy cur
tain. Back behind few old dishes
she had hidden little sugar one of
rhe squatter women had given her.
She had kept 1t against Daddy Hop
zins' homecoming and fer Jerry, too
perhaps. With woeful In-caught sobs,
she poured half of II into the cup.
Then she crossed to Evelyn ard picked
up the AK. t@

Distraughtly she placed the bar
across the door, making sure 1t was
locked. Then. creeping to the cot,
she gazed down at the wet bundle.
There, where she had helped Oscar
Bennett over dark rough places into
the light of Eternity, lay the dearest
dear of her bitterest enemy.
She uttered an exclamation when
she saw lifting shudder 60 over the
thing ON the bed. A smile fitted
across her face, and her hands came
together convulsively.
Slowly she knelt down and I'M
wrapped the thick blanket; and Eve
Ign Mackenzie was staring out at her,
dull eyed and terrified. A dark rag
completely filled her mouth; and Polly
grinned at her.
"Do you know what squatters do to
chickens they swipe from you rich
folks?" she asked huskily.
Although she could not speak, Eve
lyn heard and understood. She closed
her eyes, her face going drabber in
the flickering light, but at sound the
weary ids flew open again.
Polly had stepped to the wood-box
and was picking up the ak. She
brought Il forward, and smiling the
same sinister smile, showed it to the
pallid girl.
This was all she said, tapping
the handle.
Evelyn struggled; and Polly
laughed, wicked laugh, no more like
the ripple which Daddy Hopkins had
/ loved to hear than the bark of wolf
is like the lark's morning song.
| Tears rose into Evelyn's eyes and
rolled down her cheeks. The smile
faded slowly from Polly's face. Ever
had excruciating agony tou"hed her;
like sunbeam through rift in q
storm cloud, the old Polly leaned up to
take heed of another's hurt. This feel
ing she crushed down; but she put the
TX on the floor and squatted beside the
bed.
Scarcely had she done this before a
loud knock came on the door, She
threw the blankets over Evelyn and
went swiftly forward and lifted the
bar. =N.
