crouched down beside her, and Rob-
ert's strong arms were sending the
craft swiftly across the lake. Not a
word had been said between them un-
til they drew up under the willow
trees near Jeremiah's shack.
"Get out" exclaimed Robert, holding
the boat that 1t might not tip.
Pollyop scrambled to the bow, bring
ing Jerry with her, the beautiful dress
now hanging in limp folds around her
feet. Very pale, Robert lifted her,
almost, fainting, from the boat and
picking Jerry up In his arms, walked
ahead TO the shanty.
In the terrible moment that Polly
bent under his dark gaze, she felt she
must tell him the. truth. How could
she let him go away thinking her
twice thief, besides believing Oscar
Bennett had been her man?
She dared timid glance at him.

don't seem to have any honor at all !
Can't l say something that would
make you better grip"
Polly swayed and pushed back her
curls. Her tired head fell forward on
her chest, and she bit her tongue to
keep back the rush Of words.
"Get Wee Jerry back his Daddy
Hopkins" she gulped presently, "an'-
an I'll swear to be the gOodest squat
ter's brat in the Silent City,"
No smile answered her emphatic
promise. Roberts face vas white and
severe, and he was studying her in
silence.

He wanted to kiss the pale lovely
face, to take her away from the set

last few months that, every time he
thought of them, sent him dizzy with
pain.
"I've tried my best to have your fa-

tones, land I've tried not to love you
at ALL But do want you to be good
| mean as good as you can" 90
Up went the curly head. and straight
into his eyes she sent q piercing glance.
One slender hand flung out toward
him.
Couldn't you trust me, sir?" she
breathed. Couldn't you just forget
about-ahout---"
She advanced toward him, her hands
extended and her face twitclling nery.

"Of course taking the dress doesn't
matter to me-" lie choked. "Mr. Mac
Kenzie is very wicked man, and he
has treated you abominably. But, but
what hurts me SO is the thought of the
man who died in your-yOur home"
His voice broke and, turning swiftly,
he walked away.
Polly tried to call his name, but her
throat made no sound. When he disap-
peared up the lane she picked Jerry
up and, shivering, went into the
Shanty.
