If you feel bilious, ~headachy, consti-

your druggist and get a bottle Of Dod-

is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and

his feet and instantly Percival got up
too. Evelyn went white; and an
ejaculation fell from Mrs. Robertson's
lips.
Throwing a questioning glance from
one to the other, the girls eyes set
tied at last on Roberts face.
"They've took my Daddy Hopkins to
jail" she faltered, IAN I've come to
get I'm back"
The loud laugh that burst from
MacKenzle's lips brought a glare from
Robert.
THANK God, we've got him at last"
Marcus exulted.
The expression Of woe died in the
squatter girls eyes as Robert Percival
came toward her.

though conscious Of the hate that was

Mackenzie, he added in a lower tone !:

Nonsense, Bob" interrupted Mac
Kenzie rudely. Let her tell her lies
here. I'd like to hear what she has to

A flush mounted to Roberts face as
ne turned angrily on the speaker.
During the moment he was struggling
for composure, Mrs. Robertson and her
daughter hung on the scene with bated
breaths.

this is. MacKenzie?" demanded Perez
val finally and Marcus sank down
into his chair with a muttered apology.
81 didn't come to tell lies, Mr.. Mac

the recollection Of her fathers des-

walled: "Your men planted II squirrel

To Pcrcival. watching the man and
girl, came the conviction that she had

knew she had. Before he could break
in, Polly spoke again.
"Please, sir she begged, please,
Mr.. Mackenzie, give i'm back to me.

CHAPTER X.

AS in a nightmare the squatter girl
Numbered along the path, back to the
hut, carrying Wee Jerry in her arms.
Granny Hope was hobbling from the
coop-hole when the girl stumbled over
the threshold.
Something awfuls happened, huh,
Pollyop?" the woman faltered, and
limping across the floor, she bent and
gathered the thin small boy to her.
"Come to grandma, Jerry dear" she
coaXed, IAN hear Il wee bit about
Love-"
The grooming voice, choked with en-
treaty, touched the edge of Polly Hop
kins' soul. She swayed forward to her
knees, caught the n withered hand
extended to her and chung there.
"Tll set, my bird" mumbled Mrs.
Hope weakly, and she dropped into a
chair with Jerry in her lap. There!
Aw! Don't cry that way, honey. Lis
ten, dear heart. Gods everywhere!
An His love too! Cant"
Out of the shower Of %glistening curls
appeared a wan, fearful face.
"Daddy's been took to Jail, Granny
Hope" Pollyop burst out. God can't
go in a dirty Jail, God can't! Old
Marc"
Mrs. Hopes sudden trembling broke
off the girls words; and Polly wept
again in hopeless misery as the WON
an repeated almost duly:
God can't go in a dirty Jail"
Then her face, lighted by a radiant
thought, lost its drabness; and for a
time she stroked the bowed young
head. Then:
"Be your daddy lovin' you an the
baby?" she queried softly.
That question had never been put to
Polly Hopkins before. Had Granny
Hope gone crazy to ask such a thing?
Every squatter in the settlement mar
veled at Jeremiah's devotion to his
children!
"Huh, brat dcarf" came more forci-
bly, from Granny Hope, as if she were
determined to have an answer.
Pollyop lifted her head YEARLY.
"Sure, sure. Granny" she moaned.
Hell love US till he dies"
"Then my lass amt belicyin' any
longer that the God is love, like once
she was, huh? If Daddy Hopkins has
went to prison like you said, then amt
God there An, dear lassie-child, loves
love. an Gods God behind the bars
just the same as in this here beautiful
shanty."
Tie girl, still on her knees, edged
closer to the old woman's side and put
her arms around him.
Listen to what Granny Hope says,
baby dear" she sobbed. Loves went
right along to Jail with our daddy.
Jesus'll help i'm. He can, can't he,
Granny dear?"
"He can an He will, poor brats,"
answered Mrs. Hope, And then
through the quietude of the early
morning she voiced in tremulous
words the promises that had been food
and drink TO her during all the lonely
years that had passed over her head.
ASK, an youll get 1t, dear lambs.
Seek your daddy, an you'll find i'm,
little dears."
One of Pollyop's arms went about
the woman's neck in a trice, The

dressed Wee Jerry at Jeremiah'S com
mand, and then, troubled in spirit,
watched him stride away in the keen
morning air.
1t had been decided among the
Suuatter men that to keep the breath
of life in their women and children
they must hunt and fish, but that
nothing should be caught that the law
forbade. 1t was this thought that was
running through the squatter'S mind
as he crept up TO see If a woodchuck
had ventured out. One was sitting
up, taking a Suvey Of the neigh
borhood, when Hopkins lifted his gun
and with one sharp crack and a helch
of smoke the FURRY fellow tumbled
over.
The sQuatter strobe forward and
was in the act of picking it up when
three men appeared as If they had
sprung from the earth and with raised
pistols closed in upon him.
Jeremiah's huge jaw dropped at the
sight of them, and Wee Jerry's fingers
caught tight hold of his shaggy hair.
Drop that gum" cried one man, and
the still smoking rifle fell to the earth.
1t took but a moment to snap a pair
Of handouts about the dazed mans
wrists. 1t was while Jeremiah's face
was turned upward to quiet the
screaming Jerry that n of the men
quickly substituted a dead squirrel,
and another went away with the dead
woodchuck. Then the third slipped a
chain around one of Daddy's wrists
and led him down the hill to the rag.
ged rocks, the child still clinging to
his neck.
Polly was standing under a willow
tree as her eyes caught sight of Daddy
Hopkins and Wee Jerry between two
men,. One Of them strobe along, a lit
tie dead body dangling from one hand.
while held in the other hand was her
fathers gun. She ran toward them
giving spasmodic cries of dismay.
Daddy she screamed.
No answer came from the blinking
squatter.

Then his eye caught sight of the
squirrel, and his jaw dropped. A
hoarse groan fell from him.

CHAPTER lX-Continued,

Then while Robert was telling her
of his hopes and plans. ~rehearsing his
love for her and his desire to help her
read and study, they walked slowly
back along the ragged rocks in the d.
rection Of the shanty.
They were almost at POlly's home
before he left her. She watched him
stride up the hill, and, after he had
disappeared, she threw herself fiat
upon the earth and mingled with the
birds song in the willow trees, and the
ripping of the waves upon the shore,
came her cry:
ooh, God dear, I can't marry Oscar,
I can't! You'll have to help the squat
tiers some other way, d~arlin'."
The days that followed. bringing
with the spring flowers flocks Of sum
mer birds, seemed an eternity to Polly
Hopkins. She went about her duties
as one in a dream. In spite of Rob
ert's efforts, several of the fishermen
had been sent to the Ithaca Jail for
petty crimes.
Two men had been trapped In the
Bad Mans ravine and taken off to the
jail without so much as a farewell to
their families. Polly had grOaned with
their women and wept over their ba-
bies. She was quite sure Percival was
doing everything anybody could do
but sometimes the thought Of Evelyn's
demand intruded on her mind, and she
wondered If she were doing right in
refusing it.
One morning at daybreak Polly saw
her father lift his gun from the wall
and sit down to clean 1t. Now, why
was he doing that, when he knew very
well he could not use it? She stood
looking down upon him, her heart
beating rapidly.
"You amt goin' to hunt yet, honey"
she protested, squatting down beside
him.
"Yep," returned Hopkins ~glancing
up There amt no one astir so early,
an I'll bring back something. mebbe
a woodchuck or a skunk. We amt
had enough to keep a mess of flies
alive since Old Marc got back"
That was true No one knew better
than Pollyop how they had missed the
little she had received from Bennett,
Sick at heart, she snatched at his
hand.
1--WE might best be without grub,
Daddy" she said p~assionately. Jaw
Don't start rubin it up again You'll
get pinched, if you hunt out Of season,
no matter what you shoot. For less
than carryin' a gun, Old Mares got a
bunch of our e You shan't do 1t,
Daddy. You shan't, l say"
If only she could persuade him not
to hunt until Robert had come to an
understanding with Mackenzie. If he
didn't succeed-then she knew another
way.
"Mebbe in a little while you can
hunt all you like, Daddy" she ven
tured softly.
"What do you mean by that, brat?'
asked jeremiah, centering his keen
eyes upon her.
She leaned forward and slipped both
arms about his big waist.
81 don't want you to go today,
Daddy" she returned noncOmmittally.
"Why don't you just stay at home, an
an"
Nope. I'm goln'," interrupted Hop
kins. "An' Jerry's a-goin' with me,
I'll be back before any Of Old Mares
spies turn wei for another nap"
Polly knew her father well enough
not to make another appeal. She

seized the child by the arm and shook
him.
Here, kid" he shouted, none Of
your lip. You've been set up to tell
that lie"
The mans aspect was so threaten
ing that Wee Jerry broke off his words
and, grasping Daddy's bushy head
tightly, smothered his sobs in his hair.
Jeremiah Hopkins made a motion to-
ward the speaker, but a sharp twist
on the chain around his wrist checked
him.
"You see, brat" he groaned, they've
framed me right"
Polly grasped the situation In an IN
