CHAPTER XIV.

There was gloomy silence in the
shanty until the horses hoofs could
be heard no longer In the snow out
side. Larry Bishop crouched low in
Jeremiah's rocking chair, pulling in
nervous tension at his fingers until
the joints cracked. He shot Polly
Hopkins furtive glance but dropped
his thick lids before the unearthly ex-
preston In the girls eyes. She had
lost the look of heavenly compassion
that had given cheer to the squatters.
AS his mind went back to the spring
days when she had so often smiled
comfort into his own aching heart, he
heaved deep sigl The sound of his
breath, catching in his throat, brought
Polly scrambling from the cot.
Unmindful of the mOrose squatter,
she began pacing the floor, holding icy
fingers to her aching temples.

er If you don't"
The girl paused and threw him q
glance over her shoulder.

babe him in fierce emphasis. Shed
better smother than get what's comm
to 'er. You an Lye hang around a
while till ! call you. When I'm done
with 'er. you'll have to sink her in the
lake"
Staggering to his feet, Larry
brushed away the water that had
gathered in glistening drops upon his
brow.
"God, kid" he growled. ''you don't
seem human no more. It's all so id
terrible I'm gettin' haunted. If you
change your mind. Poll, an not kill
'er-"
A gurgling noise came from under
the pillows on the cot, and as II an
unseen hand were pushing her for
ward, Pollyop strobe to the bed and
jerked away the small feather ticks.
Evelyn's eyes sought out the squat
ter man In mute pleading. Polly
laughed; and gray with horror at her
merciless attitude. Larry skunk TO the
door.
81 guess this amt none Of my busi-
ness" he mumbled, and opening II,
he fed as II pursued by a vfndictive
spirit of the Storm country.
Again with swift, long strides the
girl went to the door and barred It.
Then with utmost elaboration she
lighted several other candles and set
them in different parts Of the hut I'M
til a food Of light was diffused
through the room
A long deep sigh fell from her lips
as she finished her task. She wanted
to see every wave Of pain that shot
across Evelyn MacKenzie's paliid
face; and that was why she ap-
preached the cot and stood looking
down upon the twisted figure.
All she had endured through the
rich girls perfidy swept over her like
q tidal wave Out Of the DARK dream
of Jerry's going she could hear
through the moaning willows the
weird last cries of the baby The
memory almost drew a shrek from
her. Then she rolled the living bundle
from the bed and propped in into q
sitting position.
As wickedly deliberate as her every
act had been, 50 did she lift the ak
from the floor.

ing down into EveIyn's hsggsrd face.
