will, for Oscar had little DOUBT that
the squatter girl would eventually
yield TO his will.
Pouyop, meanwhile. quite uncon-
scious OF Oscars vicious intentions,
was already utterly overwhelmed with
misery.
After the meager supper was over
that night, she sat crouched near the
wood-box. her arm around Billy Hop
kins' stringy neck. Granny Hope was
in bed and Wee Jerry, having cried
himself TO sleep, was In Jeremiah's
room, rolled un in blanket.

When they had been forced to leave

the way through the streets Of Ithaca.

she sat listening TO the tempest out

How llstless aud hopeless she felt
Only when the thunder rolled over the
lake, and the lightning flashed across
the sky, did she lift her head. When
she was happy, Polly loved the
storms, but now, with Daddy in Au-

Ing rain and the moan OF the willow
trees as they swung to and fro over
the shanty roof7
She found herself wishing fearfully
that the storm would sweep OF to the
south and down behind the hills. Over

At that Polly clung TO him. She had
lost sight OF the fact that she might
have TO marry Oscar Bennett TO free
Daddy Hopkins, and to keep her peo-
pie In the Silent City. She only real
lied that she was In Roberts arms,
and that he was telling her over and
over and over that he adored her.

asked. "Some one might catch you

She knew why, and, blushing, blamed

Of Robert Percival from smiling at
her.

lightning made dim the flicker FROM
the small candle. and was followed in
stantly by a thunderous roar that
shook the very earth. Mingled with Il

was dense and the torrents Of rain
pelted their faces. Another zigzag
streak Of fire ran across the sky, max.

white light OF II, Polly saw a man ly-

the shanty. He made no effort 10 get
up as the two girls bent over him.
"Mebbe he amt dead" muttered
Polly. shuddering. Lets lug him in

Between them they dragged the
heavy. inert body into the shanty and
shut the door. Oscar looked dead
when they turned him over. His face
was llvid. and his eyes tightly shut.

Weak from the shock. Evelyn was
of little service in lifting Oscar. But

Miserable days passed for the en-.

right arm OF the silent City had been
Topped OF when Hopkins was impris-
oned showed plainly In the AFFECTION
Of its inhabitants. Every countenance
was wrinkled with anxiety; and still
the strange men lowered about the
lakeside.
Ugly rumors circulated through the
Silent City. Il was said that TO FIX u
felony on Hopkins, the officers claimed
that IN searching him, before shutting
him up, they had found a revolver In
bis pocket Every one that knew him
secuted the idea, but jeremiah Hop
kins was promptly indicted for carry
ing concealed weapons.
The only concession Robert had been
able TO obtain was permission for
Polly TO visit her father, and day after
day she carried Jerry TO see him.
The day OF Hopkins trial Polly had
10 stay at home TO care for Granny
Hope and the baby.
Late in the afternoon. while she
was rocking Wee Jerry. for there was
no other way TO keep him quiet, there
came a rap on the door. Placing him
on the cot. she called soft: Come

The entrance OF Robert Perclval
filled her with apprehension. he looked
80 serious, 50 drawn and pale.
"lt's about daddy" she exclaimed,
forgetting for the moment how embar.
Tsssed she was.
