CHAPTER TX
The Face at the Window.


1t was five days since Wilton had
been to the portage. He had not meant
to see Molly In his dependency, but
now the discovery of Chambers
treachefy came with an invigorating
shock and aroused his fighting instinct
against Bowyer.
He took the road across the Muskeg.
Wilton saw the girl upstairs, at the
factors side. A book was On her knees
and lighted lamp behind her. She
was not talking to him, however, but
staring out of the window, and yet she
did not see Wilton as he came to the
door.
At his knock she came downstairs
more slowly than usual. When she
opened the door to him he saw that
she was trembling. Her cheek was icy
cold beneath his kiss.
"COme in, WILL have something to
say to you," she said
He put his arm about her, and they
went into the store together. He could
feel that she was trembling all the
while.
what Is 1t, MOlly?" he asked, look
ing into her face and seeing tears In
her eyes. "What is it, dear?"
I'm afraid that we've both made a
mistake, WILL" she answered.
Wilton laughed. Once or twice Molly
had questioned his love for her, but he
had never had any difficulty in con-
vincing her, in the usual lovers way.
molly, dear, Know have neglect
ed you," he said penitently. "But you
know that until the works finished 1
can't ask you something. And I've
been rushing it through, feeling that
then should have the right to-"
tits not the work, WILL" she said,
slowly. II want you to release me-"
The laughter died on his lips. He
put his hands upon her shoulders and
turned her toward him. She raised her
face; her lips were quivering, and the
tears had fallen, leaving her eyes hard
and bright.
"You mean that, Molly?" asked Will
ton gravely.
Every word, WILL"
"WhyT"
II have ceased to care for you"
She was keeping control of herself
with a strong effort, and she shook
more violently. She had nerved her
self to offer an explanation, but now,
face to face with him, she could not
tell him that she had been moved bY
pity for him, and self-deceived. 1t was
impossible for her to lie to Wilton.
"MOlly'-she saw that his face was
set hard as on that night of the riot
Il don't play with love. love you and
trust you. If you mean that, tell me
again, and that will be enough for
me-"
"I-meant 1t! Oh, can't you under
stand that have changed?" she cried
desperately. 81 can never care for
you, WiltOn!"
He released her and turned away.
Goodnight, Molly" he said.
Yet he went slowly out Of the door,
and, because the shock had come with
stunning force, he was amazed that
she did not call him back. He could
not make himself understood that all

Driven by the lronical realization that
he was working for BOwyer, Wilton
had resolved to go to Clayton as soon
as the trestling was completed, and
try to raise the money to pay Phayre,
who, he knew, would not renew the
note.
Big Muskeg was spanned. And, on
the strength of that, Wilton believed
the time had come to give Joe's secret
to the world. He would publish far
and wide the secret Of the wheat
lands. He would establish sufficient
confidence in the line to make the
raising of loan a possibility.
Before leaving he placed a night
guard on duty over the Office, and ar
ranged with Andersen to have three
or four reliable men on watch In the
event of the labOrers attempting to
cross the portage. He went to Clayton
and laid his statement before a di-
rectOrs' meeting. Fhey heard him in
frigid silence.
'That's an old story" said Curtis,
The Adair County news., 1922-06-20

his dreams and hopes of five minutes
before were broken. Not until he had
reached the portage. Then he stopped
and looked back. The door of the store
was closed. The light still burned in
the factors room and he saw Molly
cross toward him and fling herself on
her knees beside him.
He clenched his fists; but somehow
the violence that relieved his feelings
usually seemed to have no place here.
He couldn't understand. He went
home slowly across the portage.
The factor looked up when Molly en-
tered, and was astonished to see the
tears upon her face. When she kneeled
down he put his hand clumsily upon
her hair. =
"What has happened, lass" hs
asked. "Was it VIII Carruthers ye
Quarreled with?"
HE will never come here agar" /"
said Molly.
A dull fire burned n the factQEa
eyes. He seemed to be stf6Relihg BE-

"He was bad yun," said the Swede.
II guessed you knew your business.
Mr.. Carruthers, when you took on Tom
Bowyer's right-hand man. 1t wasn't
for me to say nothing"
Keep your mouth shut still, Ander-
sen," said Wilton, slapping him on the
shoulder. "We'll just start working
again. And keep your eyes open. Some
time Wen get him, and I'll telephone
Inspector Quain to pick him up If ever
he sees him In Clayton"

finished.
An angry wrangle followed, which
led nowhere. They fatty refused to
spend any money on advertising. All
the while, Phayre. leaning back in his
chair, looked on I'D took no part in
the proceedings.
TT comes to this" said Curtis final
ly. humping the table energetically.
"We'll have to increase our capital.
The delay has eaten into our reserves.
Well have to push straight toward
our objective. the TranscOntinental.
Then We'll have the monopoly Of q
steady freighting business"
He could not get them to listen to
the story of the wheat lands. Wilton
wanted to advertise it widely, to open
it up to homesteaders. He had plans
for elevators. But the directors, who
resented Kitty's control, were dead
against him, and he got no thanks for
what he had done.
The following morning the Sentinel
-Phayre's paper-came out with a
cartoon showing widow dropping her
mite into a bOttOmless pail marked
"Mlssatibi," which boiled over q slow
fire Of wheat stalks.
Somebody had betrayed the secret,
thus forewarning Bowyer and enabling
him to open his campaign to deride 1t.
But Wilton would not open his mind
to suspicion.

he would be glad to have the dish on his
bill of fare every day if he could get the
requisite insects.
In the Sahara the Arabs dig a deep pit
and fill it with wood and grass This is
kindled and allowed to burn until the pit
becomes sufficiently hot. Then they haul
out the burned-out embers and throw into
the hot pit several bushels Of the insects,
covering them over with sand. They are
eaten singly, like peanuts, or powdered in
a mortar and mixed with water enough
to make kind of pudding.
In Morocco the Arabs boil the grass
hoppers half an hour, sprinkle them with
salt and pepper and fry them, adding
little vinegar. Food prices fall when
swarm of the insects arrive. The Jews
in the country put jar of choppers" into
the oven on Friday night, and take them
out hot Saturday morning to avoid the
sin of lighting fire on the Sabbath Day.
They use only the females, which have
peculiar markings on the under body that
are imagined to represent Hebrew char
acters, making it lawful in a religious
sense to eat them.
In Barbary the Moors throw grasshop-
pers alive and jumping into pan Of boil
ing oil. BY this treatment the wings are
singed off and the bodies rendered crispy,
tasting, it is said, somewhat like the yolk
of hard-boiled egg. The insects are also
dried on the roofs of houses, as q pre-
liminary to converting them into meal by
grinding.
In South Africa the Hottentots eat
grasshoppers in such quantities, when
they can get them, that they grow visibly
fatter in few days. 1.-Two.
In Arabia and Persia roasted grasshop-
pers are sold in the market. They are
also eaten with rice and dates, and some
times are favored with spices.
Our own Digger Indians, in California,

layers with hot stones. Then they grind
them to -four, mix the latter with pow
dered acorns and berries, make the mix

are eight hundred species of this grass
hopper, using this term as the collective for
all grasshoppers (Cholin 65b). They are
further described as having neck like
COW (Aboda Zara 51a), the feelers being
spoken of as "horns Of grasshoppers"
(Pesachim 4Sb), and their eyes are easily
blinded in damp weather (Sabbath 106b}.
They come in great hosts (ib) and the
faithful are directed to pray for their
determination (Taanith j4a). They often
cover entire districts (Baba Mezia 105b).
They are caught, packed and then soaked
in wine and sold as food (Aboda lara
