Fiercely he drew her head against
him; and the silence that followed was
fraught with rapture for them both.
Oh She wanted to be his wife, to
forget the past two wretched years. If

Mrs. RObertson's daughter was in
brown study before the fire when
that lady came into the room, few
minutes later
'Marc went early tonight, didn't he.
Ever she questioned, as she dropped
Into a chair.
"He had to go and meet someone
about those tiresome squatters," Eve
explained. I'm sick of the sound Of
their names. Marcus says II he can't
get rid of them. he'll leave Ithaca"
A step In the hall closed the con
versation for the time being. and n
moment later Robert. Perciva joined
them, In silence Mrs. Robertson
studied his face. She wondered what
had changed him SO perceptibly In the
last little while. He looked almost
haggard TO her searching eyes. She
was about to question him as to his
health when the young man turned to
Evelyn.
Eve, DEAR" he began hesitatingly,
II want something done very badly,
and perhaps you can accomplish II

A lazy smile stole to Eyelyn's lips.
"And you know, Bob, I'll do II
II can" she responded. Tell me
what's on your mind, honey"
Certainly; why, yes, indeed" inter
jected Mrs. Robertson. "You know,
Bob. Eve and I will do anything we

The expression Of anxiety, which his
face had worn since he had seen the
last Of Polly Hopkins, lifted a little.
"That's finer' he exclaimed heartily.

into the fight against the squatters."
The girls white lids made a curtain
between his shining eyes and her own.
Evelyn was wishing. oh. how very
much she desired that Marcus would
buy the farm. Then Oscar could leave

Just at that moment the sound Of
footsteps was heard outside In the hall
Robert thrust out his hand. grasped
Polly by the shoulders, and In another
moment she found herself behind the
thick curtain hanging in heavy folds
over rows of books which rose to the
ceiling
The door opened; and Percival spun
around to meet Marcus Mackenzie.

stood facing the shelves laden with
the masterpieces of the world. and
Marcus was running his eye up and
