"It'll be all right my lass" the old
man was muttering. "They won't hurt
ye no more. They're taking US to Tom
Bowyer, l reckon. He's bested us.
Wen have to give in. Wen make the
most of it,"
The old man shook with fear, but
he laid his hand caressingly upon
her head. And afterward Molly re-
called that gesture, and remembered
that it was his right one.
At the time she thought nothing.
She lay back with her head against the
seat, resolved to husband her strength
for a more desperate struggle later, If
need be. Her dress was rent, her hair
fell to her waist. Rain had begun to
fall; the horses, dashed necessarily,
tore madly through the darkness, and
the rig swayed dangerously from side
to side.
Molly's thoughts ran on as fiercely.
They were taking her to Bowyer. then
But Bowyer was at Cold Junction, and
surely he could not harm her there !
And he was taking her father. She
must remain at his side and protect
him. She sat passlvely upon the floor
hearing the frenzied bahbling of the
old man, and soothing i'm with one
hand stretched out upon his.
But this was not the way to Cold
Junction. This led toward Chain of
Lakes, where several fishing clubs had
purchased ground and water rights and
set up camps. Her heart sank. She
caught at Haekett's arm

pleaded. won't you let us go back?
I'll say nothing II you let us go-Pn

Hackett grinned at her and tried to
put his arm about her. She struck out
at him, and, with an oath, he pushed
her back violently into the bottom of
the rig.
She gathered all her courage to wait.
And the waiting was not long. The
