Meanwhile she watched her father
anxiously. He still dragged his leg

always upon him now had made him
an old man within the past year. The
girls love for him. which her humllia-
ton at Bowyers hands had never en-
tirely killed. burned up again after she
had broken with Wilton.
But she wondered constantly what
was the power that Bowyer had over
her father. Had Mcdonald given her
any encouragement she would have
spoken to him, and begged for an un-
derstanding that might remove the
cloud which hung over them both. But
the factor was more morose than ever
especially when the winter trading
ended and time hung heavily upon
their hands.
The talk came at last. Mcdonald
was in his chair upstairs. Molly read
