The words cut into Evelyn's heart
with the keenness Of physical pam.
Only a little while before she a stoou
alone at the brink of the grave. There
had been no hope that the summer
would bring a helpless wee thing TO
hold her close to Marcus. But oW-
Her thoughts whirled. So great was
her faith in Polly Hopkins that she
knew in a little while h would De
back in her husbands arms.
The attack of weeping over, Pollyop
arose and beat again into pap the
hard bread and hot water. This time
she 0 all the sugar left in the cup
board. Daddy would not be home for
oyer two years, and Baby jerry prob
ably never, and she-she wouldn't be
in the shanty long. Grooming, she
whipped the spoon so tiercely that
some of the contents Of the cup
splashed on the floor.

coming back to the cot; but the huts

up. I'm goin' now an get your man.
You get this hot pap into your stom-
ach while I'm gone"
EVELYN waved the cup away, holding
ont q maxim hand.
81 don't want you to go without me,
Pollyop," she cried. please, don't
leave me here alone. I'm terribly
scared, II"
The grave young squatter contem-
plated her for the space of twenty
seconds, perhaps.

you. Miss?' she asked. "Well, you've
got a right to be! Larry's different
from the rest, though he was as will
in, up to this night, to chop off your
head, as me. But Larry's hearts soft
and kind, Larry's is"
I'm afraid of everybody" gasped
Evelyn. Everybody but you, Polly.

"I'm Afraid OF Everybody" Gasped
Evelyn.

Please, take me with you, or-or-
let me stay till morning"
A slight shake of Pollyop's head
brought Evelyn to a sitting position,
but p~ain-racked bones and nerves laid
her back again.
"There," interjected the other girl.
"You can see how hard it'd be to get
you through the snow to your mas
house. You'd die before you got there.
I'm blest if you wouldn't. No, l got to
go alone, Miss"
Noting the fear in Mrs. Mackenzie's
eyes, she bent over the cot.
"Will you believe something I'm 60
in to tell you, Ever she said in a
wheedling tone.
Surely l will, Polly" answered
Evelyn, wiping her eyes, but I'm so
afraid, so awfully afraid"
That's no lie" replied Pollyop i'm
%petuously, IAN as | said, you got a
right to be scared of the squatters.
Why, only this afternoon l hated you
IN Old Marc as hard as the rest of
the Silent City fOlks-more, mebbe !
But-but what 1 was really goin' to
tell you is this. If l lug you along
with me, you won't have no baby In
the summer. That's Gods truth I'm
tellin' you, too"
Evelyn lowered her lids, n a pain
full flush mounted to her hair.

vibrant with emotion. "Now, be a big
woman, an stay while I'm gone, will
you? I'll promise to hustle for ali

Mrs. Mackenzie's timid glance ran
around the room.
81 suppose So" she whimpered, but
what if some of your people came
here?" She shuddered and went on
hurriedly: "Polly, what're you going
to say to Marcus?"

op, "but I'll bring him back. Oh, !

AS If in support of The terrible
words, the shanty shook, rafting the
loosened bits of tin on the roof. At the
CHASTITY sound Evelyn began to cry.
81 know just how your man1l feel"
continued Pollyop, a bitter smile dis
torting her lips into a grimace of pain,
ian so does Larry Bishop. Larry's
woman an baby died when Old Marc
sent him up to Auburn, an the best of
me cracked when he grabbed Jerry
right out of my arms"
Both girls sobbed loudly. Then Pol
lyop cleared her throat and wiped her
face.
"An' your man railroaded my daddy
to Auburn" she gasped, after plantin'
something on him he didn't do; an
you, every one of you, knew it,"
Her voice rose to a high-pitched
scream as she remembered the last
scene in the county jail.
God, wasn't it awful?" she cried.
"An' you" She leaned over and

was what she had for supper every
night.
She turned away from the cup in
board over which hung a f1imsy cur
tain. Back behind a few old dishes
she had hidden a little sugar n Of
the squatter women had given her.
She had kept it against Daddy Hop
kins' homecoming and for Jerry, too
perhaps. With woeful, %in-caught sObs,
she poured half of it into the cup.
Then she crossed to Evelyn and picked
up the ak.
I'm goin' to take this rag out of
your mouth" she said, "an' mind you
don't squeal, or I'll send you double
quick to your first man. Now hold
still This1l hurt a bit!"
With her eyes on the %agonized face,
she drew gently at the corners of the
rag stuffed into Evelyn's mouth. When
it came out, Evelyn gave a deep groan
and her cramped jaws settled rigidly.
"Tm goin' to feed you now," said
Polly. "There amt no hurry, cause
we got all night"
Then some minutes passed in silence
while the ~squatter girl, bit by bit,
forced the pap between Mrs. Mac
Kennels teeth.
"Now drink the water" she urged
grimly. Its warm an got sugar in
it."
AS if in a trance, she got up and
placed the cup on the table. She put
a stick of wood into the stove and,
turning, caught Evelyn's eyes upon
her. Then she sat down and consid-
cred the unhappy girl who had been
delivered up to the justice of the
Storm country.
Neither of them spoke. One of them
was praying duly to herself, and Polly
Hopkins was recounting mentally all
the evil deeds of Evelyn and her
naughty husband, Marcus Mackenzie.
1t was necessary to keep Daddy's grief
ever before her mind and listen with
the ears of her tortured spirit to
Jerry's shrieks to be able to keep on
with the gruesome thing she had I'M
dertaken.

CHAPTER XVI

"Can you speak to me?"
Pollyop's voice was as tender as
when she had repeated heavenly prom
ises to the sad ones of the Silent City
and had taught them that love was
ever present.
Evelyn gazed at her electrified. The
brown eyes were softly luminous. The
lips which only a little while ago were
strained and blue now were scarlet
and fraught with sympathy. What
wonderful thing had happened? Pol
lyop had taken the rope off her feet
and hands. She could wriggle a little,
although her flesh hurt dreadfully
when she tried it.
Prompted by the attempted move
ment, Pollyop dropped to her knees
and began to chafe the injured an
kles.
"Tm goin' to give you back to your
man." she said, quaking. "But you
got to swear to him / swiped you, an
not any squatter men. He'll Jail me
forever, mebbe.j but I don't care about
that. love Larry an Lye Braeger
too much to haul ZEN into this"
Then her face fell beside Mrs. Mac
Kennels, and she wept Historically.
Evelyn's fingers clutched at the chest
nut curls.
"Pollyop, oh. Polly, darling!"
This was all she could say, for she,
too, was weeping even more wildly
than the other. In the presence of
such divine unselishness, the petals
of her withered soul seemed to lift and
open, as she CROPPED for a broader
understanding.
"Granny Hope learned me a lot of
things" came up to Evelyn brokenly.
"She always said, Granny Hope did,
that love was stronger'n hate an ]
must just pray your man wouldn't be
so wicked to us squatters.'
The glistening brown head rolled
back and forth in consuming agony.
"Don't, Polly darling" Evelyn
begged. Don't, it's all right now.
And my husband will"
Polly sat up, brushing back damp
ringlets from her brow.
"He won't do nothin' to help me"
she shot out. "Nothin' at all! First,
/ know him better'n you do. Then
next, I wouldn't ask him. Cause
cause I'm that bad. I ought to be

PAID MEMORIAL TRIBUTE
 TO MISS MARTHA 4, JI

A memorial service for Miss Martha A. Jencks, formerly of Norwich, whose death occurred in Boston last month was held in the West Somerville Baptist church of which the Somerville Journal of March 24th says:
 On Sunday afternoon at o'clock friends of the late Miss Martha A. Jenclls, for twenty-four years a teacher in the Somerville schools and of late in the Martha Perry Lowe School, paid an impressive tribute to her memory as they gathered in large numbers at a ser vice held in her honor at the West Som- erville Baptist church. Pastors of the other West Somerville churches joined in this untIsC=~ %=ibute. Miss Jencks died on Friday, March 10, quite suddenly at the Huntington Hospital, Boston.
 Following the organ prelude by Roland Sleeves the invocation was offered by Rev. Frank W. Swaffield pastor of the church of which Miss Jencks had long been a member. The Scriptures were read by Rev. George E. Heath. of the Park Avenue Methodist church, an6 prayer was offered by Rev Isaac Smith pastor of the West Somerville Universal ist church.
 Superintendent Charles s. Clark spoke in feeling manner of the character an6 services of Miss Jencks as a teacher o1 little children. His words were in par as follows:
 'We have met today to pay the tribute
