After she had put the child to bed,

the room lost their shadows; n "Ihe
Greatest Mother in the World" seemed
to stand out more plainly than even
when the sun Shone.
Pollyop placed her warm cheek
against the picture and smiled. she
earnestly believed this wonder-mother
was helping her to go and see Daddy
Hopkins. She turned and looked long

Daddy Hopkins big boots. Even to
Polly's primitive mind they did not

Midsummer was full upon them ;
and still Pollyop and Jerry held to
their lonely tenure of the hut. A few
heart-broken letters had reached the
squatter girl from Auburn, and she
had p~ainstakingly answered them. Yet
in spite of the daily predictions of the
suuatter folks that Old Mare would
shortly begin again to harass them,
Polly was happier. She could not have
explained. if she had been asked, why
the agony of doubt had given place to
q warmer glow about her heart when
she thought of Daddy Hopkins. Away
oil up there in the gloom of the prison,
he had received a mothers benedic-
lion: Polly believed this with all her
soul. jerry and she too had come In
for their share; and this new conf.
dence lifted the shadow from her eyes
a little and lessened the stabbing hurt
in her side.
The thing that tormented her most
was Jerry's constant mourning for his
father. Day by day she had racked
her brains for ways to muse him, but
as soon as the novelty of the play had
worn off. the old-time cry would be.

She was looking at him one morn
ing after one of his spells of weeping
and wistfully considering if there
might be a way to hurry him off to
Auburn for a day, when Evelyn Rob.
ertson suddenly appeared in the
shanty door.
For a long time Eyelyn's conscience
had made her uncomfortable. Ever
though her days were exceedingly
busy, the remembrance of the squattei
girls pale, pleading face tormented
her, and she was fearful PollyoI
might not keep the promise she had
made, and Marcus Mackenzie would
be lost forever.

she could not see the whole of her
golden glory so she took down Daddy
Hopkins cracked piece of mirror
which he had used when pulling out
his shaggy whiskers with the tweezers.
By the aid of it, she could get glimpses
of her slim young figure and the grace
full sweep Of the skirt. Holding the
glass higher up, she studied her slen
der neck where the sun had tanned it.
But tan did not matter, for Daddy
Hopkins loved her in spite of it.
All at once she heard a knock
against the side of the hut. Hastily
slipping out of the dress and folding
1t, she showed it under her pillow.
Then she put on her old dress and
opened the door.
Larry Bishop was there, extending
her a letter. Taking the note in
amazement, she smiled and thanked
him.
Amt you comm in, Larry?" she
asked. kinda chilly tonight, huh?'
The squatter stepped inside, his cap
in his hand.

he returned. Say, brat, how you

replied. Il writ Daddy in my letter

completely secreted herself, she drew
down the velvet h%alf-curtain that hung
from the seat. 1t seemed hours before
she heard a sound. She Kissed a
warning to Jerry, then waited in nerv-
Gus tension.
From the station platform voices
seemed suddenly to rise up from every
quarter. Pollyop closed her eyes, too
confused to think of anything to dis
sipate the agony of mind she was I'M
~dergoing.
A few minutes before train time a
high-powered motor car drew up to
the platform.

To this Robert did not reply. In
deep reverie he helped his aunt and
cousin from the automobile and fol-
lowed them to the car.
When Polly heard a number of
people come into the stateroom, she
put one hand over her lips. She
strained her ears to hear If Jerry had
made a move. How she hoped the
dear baby had fallen asleep, and that
he would not wake up until they
were in Auburni AS unexpected as
the voice of n long dead, the sound
of familiar tones came to her ears.
The words were:
Now, Mrs. Robertson, you sit there,
and you too, Eve. Then you won't
have to ride backward. Bob and I'll
sit here
The sQuatter girls heart nearly

and Evelyn too, were there. Pollyop
shivered and wished that she had
waited until tomorrow, or perhaps the
day after.
She tried to drive out the fear of
being discovered and think only of
Jerry's happiness and Daddy's. To
make her heart beat less fast. she
tried earnestly to think of some words
that Jesus would hear and under
stand. But even that desire was
driven from her as two heavy bodies
dropped upon the seat above her.
Plainly she saw two pairs Of mems
boots near enough to touch her If she
moved an inch forward.

pushed her head, noiselessly drawing

Wednesday evening. at which it was
decided to erect new packing plant.
The structure will stand on the site
OF the present frame building, and
steel, concrete and hollow tile will
be used in construction, the exterior
being stucco over the tile.
The general lines and plan of the
new Haskill plant will be followed,
but several superior features will be
Included as the plant will cost approx
imately $4,000. y capacity OF four
cars a day is to be provided for. Thor
oughly modern machinery will be in

II. ID. Mendenhall, of Lakeland, who
was architect Of the Haskell plant
has been retained to draw the plans
of the Auburndale building.
Auburndale is in the heart of an
important citrus section and the de-
velopment of the fruit industry in this
community makes possible and neces-
sary the better housing of the packing
plant.
