No smile answered her emphatic
promise, Roberts face was white and
severe, and he was studying her in
silence.

"the more l plan and work, the worse

Up went the curly head, and straight
into his eyes she sent piercing glance.
One slender hand flung out toward
him.
Couldn't you trust me, sIr?" she
breathed. Couldn't you Just forget

She advanced toward him, her hands
extended and her face twitchlng nerv-
Ously.
"Of course taking the dress doesn't
matter to me-" he choked. "Mr. Mac
Kenzie is very wicked man, and he
has treated you abomlnably. But, but
what hurts me so is the thought of the
man who died in your-your home"
His voice broke and, turning swiftly,
he walked away.
Polly tried to call his name, but her
throat made no sound. When he dlsap-
peared up the lane she picked Jerry
up and, shivering, went into the
sbanty.

CLEANED for him along the roadside,
Polly wished that she might take him,
too, but as long as she could not, Billy
should have better feed than usual.
After everything else was attended

and put It on. Her bare feet showed
from under the hem, but she had de
cided she looked better without the
boots, and as she stood gazing at her
self up and down, she regretted that
she had not asked Evelyn for q pair OF
shoes too. Being careful not to soil
her skirt, she knelt and allowed Jerry
TO climb on her shoulders.

shanty in the rain. she shivered The
damp air nipped at her uncovered
arms and neck. To travel the long dis

she tucked the dress into the top of
the boots that It might show as little

tears almost blinded her as she turned

Jerry and Daddy would be when they

tears, she shut out the thought that
perhaps some one would catch her
breaking the law and clap her in Jail

In the past months which had taken
