CHAPTER II.

About the time Polly Hopkins began
to repair the shack roof, Evelyn Rob
ertson came into the room where her
mother sat reading. The girl was
dressed to go out and was drawing q
pair of gloves Over her ringed fingers.
where are you going, Ever in
quired the lady. 1T seems to me that
you're running out altogether too
much. There's your piano. You
haven't practiced in months. Now
don't blame me, Eve, If, when Marcus
asks o to play, you fall fiat"
A dull red ran into the girls cheeks,
but she made no reply as she
smoothed the wrinkles from her
gloves.
1.-THE good Lord knows" continued
the mother irritably, that I've kept at
you enough. Now Marc and Robert
are home, how are you going to enter
tain theml Men demand so much"
The experiences of the past two
years had taught Evelyn that lesson.
It had been demand, demand and more
demanding ever since, OIL girlish Inn
pulse, she had secretly married Oscar
Bennett.

times, Polly Of the sum- Granny
Hope explained this by saying: "They
all love you, Poll, an it's out Of your
own heart they get the feelin' OF joy
when they see ye."
From behind the wood-box near
where the goat stood, Pollyop took up
an ok. Tenderly she bent and placed
q kiss upon the goats horny head.
Then she touched Granny Hope.
The woman lifted her lids and
smiled at the girl.
Whats the matter, love-lass?" she
murmured.
Pm goin' out, Granny" replied
Polly. IF Daddy comes, tell i'm I'll
be back in a while"
Into the rain she went, her bare feet
carrying her swiftly over the ragged
rocks, her curls gathered under her
chin like a warm glistening hood.
When later she appeared in front of
the shanty, her bingham skirt was
filled with rusty pans n old pieces
Of tin. She placed them on the door
step, and looking hesitatingly at the
willow tree, went back into the house.
From a peg Polly took a pair of her
fathers trousers and clambered into
them, tucking her skirts out Of sight
and rolling up the trouser legs. for
Daddy Hopkins was much taller than
his daughter. Into one of the big
pockets Polly thrust a handfu of
nails 1t was a grotesque looking girl

your milk yourself?"
He said it with extreme elaboration,
making emphatic the last words.
Polly threw up her head and eyed
him sharply. II run my legs most Off
for you as tits, Oscar she retorted,

but I don't never have no money. You
know that, an Daddy Hopkins don't
get much, either. If l had a dollar, I
bet I'd spend every penny of 1t film
up Jerry an Daddy an Granny Hope
with milk an eggs" To make him
understand how anxious she was to
please him, she went forward a pace.
AN I'd buy 'em all OF you, Oscar.
That's as true as Granny Hopes God
is settin' up In the sky"

'wered Bennett, staring at her. SUD
lenly he came close to her; and Polly
backed to the door. His face was red
md agitated the cords In his neck
we're swollen while his fingers twisted
eagerly. That was another thing about
which PoIly's eyes had been opened in
two years Of growing wonaanhOod.
When a man looked as Oscar did now,
/ girl got away as. fast as she could.
"You might pay me In Kisses" he
nuttered hoarsely, towering Over her.
Ten kisses for each bucket. You're
4 heap prettier than Eve"
For a long moment Polly did not
speak. Her breast heayed as she
swayed backward.
IL get all the kisses / want to
home" she said. Here, take your
hand .ofrn me, Oscar, or III tell Eve
the first time / get sight of her" She
glared up at him like a cornered ami
NAL. II said I'd tell Eve. I'll do more
than that I'll put old woman Rob-
ertson next to your cOppin' her kid
In marryin' 'er."
Oscars fingers relaxed, and his hand
dropped away from her arm as a
rough laugh left his lips. She looked
so lovely, her eyes blazing, her curIs
tumbled In confusion on her shoulders,
that he would have taken his pay for
the milk without her permission If she
had not thrown at him a threat he
feared she would carry out.
Mems kisses are what you'll get,
my pretty lass" he predicted grimly,
"and IL I was finished with Eve, by
God, I'd set about getting my share.

The blood had left his face. He

Oscar sprang at her. She was SO
tantalIzingly beautiful, SO aIluring even
In her grotesque attire that for the
moment he forgot he had reason to
fear her.
"Tll kiss you, anyway" he snarled,
but Polly, heet-fOoted and afraid, shot
from the porch and reached the lane

the pail.

who a few minutes later was fiatten-
ing out the pans and the old bits OF
tin upon the stone.
When that was finished, she gath
cred them up and, Ak in hand, climbed
into the willow tree and onto the
roof. Daddy Hopkins would be glad
when he came home and found the
shack dry and warm. Then she began
her task Of hammering the pieces Of
tin yer the holes through which the
water dripped. Once in a while she
stopped working, and, fiat on her stOm-
ach, sought for smaller cracks.
Just as she had mended the last
hole, she heard the sound of horses
hoofs and mems voices. With the fear
Of the prosecuted, she crOuched close
to the roof, and like some frightened
animal, crawled to the edge of 1t.
Squatters did not speak like that,
neither did they ride horseback.
There in the lane, astride two mag
nificent animals, were two men. One
she recognized instantly. Polly had
every reason to know the tall man
whose dark, handsome face had cast
deep shadows over the Silent City.
Marcus Mackenzie had been for years
the Nemesis that hung over the Cayu-
ga lake squatters. Even during his
absence on war work abroad, his long
arm had often reached back to the
Silent City to pick away some hus-
band and close the prison gates be-
hind him.
Pollyop had a passionate desire to
throw the ak at him. She knew there
was not a heart in all the Silent City
that did not beat with dread at the
very mention Of his name.
Then she caught a glimpse of the
other mans face and forgot her terror
Of Marcus Mackenzie. In Ithaca and
about it she had. seer many soldiers
but never anyone like MacKenzie's
companion. He was dressed in an of
dcer's uniform, and, as his horse
whirled him, into better view, the
frown faded from P6llyop's brow as
she gazed wonderingly upon him, She
marked his flashing glances that
swept the Silent City. She noted with
a strange little thrill the beauty of the
clearcut features, the full, kindly
mouth and the smooth, tanned skin.
Marcus Mackenzie was speaking
rapidly, and though Polly could not
hear what he said, she knew he was
talking of the squatters. Then words
that made her Jingle with joy came
distinctly to her ears.
But you can't turn a lot of folks
out of their homes, Marc" rang forth
a deep, rich voice, Where under the
heaven would they go If you did,"
Anywhere they d-n please"
snarled Mackenzie contemptuousy
"If they were all dead, they'd be bet
ter off, and Ithaca too"

ADVICE WELL WORTH TAKING
Nc Doubt Driver Of Car Realized
Afterward That His Sarcasm
Really Was Wasted.

A big passenger car was a victim
of the sleet in Central avenue. The
driver tried valiantly to keep it in
the middle of the street, but one hind
wheel slipped over alittle, the driver
tried to stop the boat" the rear
wheel slid along the car track-well,
auto drivers know the rest.
When the car stopped sliding its
two rear wheels rested against the
curb and its two front ones were on
The car track. Then ensued much
speeding up Of the engine and much
whizzing of rear WHEELS, but no for
ward movement.
"What's the matter; trying to get
away from the curb?" a bystander
asked.
"Oh, no.. I'm polishing the pavement
so the kids can have some fun !" sar-
castically exclaimed the driver of the
car.
"Well. II you'll just cut that engine
down and slip her out Of high into
low, I'll give you a little shove and
you'll walk right away from the curb, !"
the interloper said.
The advice was followed, the wheels
ceased their mad whirl and the car,
under the gentle urge Of the bystander,
moved away.-lndianapolis News.

following reservation, offered by q
Republican: THE United States
understands that under the state
ment in the preamble, or under the
terms Of this treaty, there is no COM
mitment TO armed force, no alliance,
no obligation to Join in any defense.
The Pacific pact stands emasculat-
ed, Sthe fruits OF the Washington
Conference are in fair way to turn
to dust and ashes. For no treaty
can exist without obligation on the
part Of the contracting nations. II
must have teeth" We cannot AFFORD
to disarm, depending on mere gen
tlemen's agreements" No more can
or will the other contracting ma
tions. The last and greatest wobble
of them all bids fair'to result In the
sacrifice of another choice offering Of
the first fruits OF International peace
and brotherhood upon the alter OF
partisanship. Such is the price the
President is willing to pay for party
harmony"
God speed the day when the old
fashioned spirit of conscientious re-
sponsibility will again be infused in
to the hearts and minds of the lead
'ers in our legislative halls.
