CHAPTER X
The AbysmaI Depths

Molly did not see Bowyer for two
months after Kitty's departure. His
next visit was as unexpected as all Of
his. 1t was in the afternoon, and the
girl came back from a walk along the
shore to see him seated In the store,
sleek, red, and self-satisfied, and her
father standing beside him, with that
look Of awful fear on his face. She
had momentary impression as II the
factor stood up like well man; but,
as she entered, the right leg went
dragging under him, and the arm fell
limp at his side.
"How dye do, Miss Mcdonald 7"
called Bowyer. II just dropped In to
have chat with the factor in passing.
Big things happening here, eh? The
Missatibi's mighty slow In crossing
Big Muskeg."
Molly famed mt the insult to Wilton.
She looked at her father, and the ex-
preston on his face went to her heart.
She turned swiftly to Bowyer.
II don't want You to come here
again." she said.
He started up, spluttering. "We don't
want you," she continued. "And we
won't be prosecuted by you. There's
law In this country"
He burst into mocking laughter.
"You never spoke truer word, Miss
Mcdonald ~ he cried. II came here
as friend"
"You can go as an enemy" she re-
torted. "And you can go now.. And
remember--there are men about here
who can use whipi"
He glared at her, but went without
word, and Molly ran to the factor,
"He's torturing your she sobbed. II

A few days later Bowyer went In to
Clayton and. by chance, his visit coin

He could get no further. Kitty Looked
up into his face. "Will, know how
you feel" she said softly. "I'm sc

Afterward Wilton could not imagine
how he had found strength to resist
her. With Molly lost, Jim Belts him

caring nothing for the line, why did
he not let 1t go? In that black hour
the temptation Of her presence. the
human love that was his for the tax

his ears.
1t may have been the fiber of Puritan
ancestors, or simply the inborn instinct
to fight to the end, that gave him his
strength. But he did not know how
he left her till he found himself in the
street.
He went to the bank, the last place,
and the last, hopeless effort, fore
doomed to. failure. He went into
Phayre's office.

ing. "In ten years, when those wheat

newest granary of Canada. Only,
they don't know It."
How do you know 1t, thenT
Phayre chuckled and began to drum
his fingers on the desk.
"You pledged your word to the d.

there were rumors Of 1t before. But

I'm going to have them. Better throw

"At least I guess II looks like coming
to that. But I've got my job to finish
and I'm going to do It."

vances to Wilton she, saw by instinct
that she had almost conquered. She
saw. too, that, having lost, she had
lost forever. She might win Wilton
yet, but never In that way.
Now she would go to any lengths
to oust Molly. Molly had never writ
ten to her since her departure. and she
did not even know II her scheme had
succeeded In estranging her from VIII
ton. But she inferred success from
Wilton's bearing. He had not looked
like successful lover.
Bitterly she reflected on her mar,
riage with Joe. She had never loved
Joe. but neither had she hated him
She had loved Wilton, and. bound by
tradition and social circumstances. she
had concealed 1t. Then-Joe had died.
Everything had seemed possible. And
Wilton had engaged himself to an
other-to her best friend. Kitty was
not bad woman, but she meant to
fight for her own. She would win VIII
ton, cost what 1t might.
When. therefore, late on the day af.
ter he had called on her, the maid an
nounced Tom Bowyer, who had never
been in her house before, she sent
down word that she would receive
him.
Neither Wilton nor Bowyer was
aware that the other was In Clayton
when Bowyer called, nor did they
meet.
Kitty came downstairs, to find
Bowyer standing in the parlor, twirl-
ing his hat In his hands. There was
singuarly vulpine look on the red
