Spain by alluring inducements
held out by Spanish authorities.
Today on their return they
could muster less than five dollars
among them. They obtained re-
turn passage after appealing to
American consular agents in
Spain to have them released from
their contracts with the Spanish
government.
Seventy or eighty more Amer
leans, according to the nineteen
who returned. also members OF the
Foreign Legion, remain In Spain,
but are expected to return soon.

ALI Are Veterans
Almost all OF the nineteen who
returned are veterans of the
United States military Or naval
foces in the World War. The old
est. F. A. Gilbert, forty-seyen, OF
Detroit, enlisted in the Legion in
London. after serving during the
war in the British army. The
youngest, Charles Bernard, seven
teen, of Richmond, Va. left the
states from New Orleans on Sep
tember IA, 1921. In addition to
being the youngest, he was also
the tallest-six feet two. Run
ming him close second in age
was Guy ]. Wickersham, of Pine
Bluff, Arkansas, who was only
eighteen and the smallest OF the
party.
One member OF the group, John
Hardy, of Elyria. ohio, returned
with Moorish bullet in his left
lung and another In his neck.
Others escaped injury.

the treatment OF Americans in
the Spanish Legion:
I'VE were offered transporta-
tlon to and from Spain, four and
one-half pesetas a day In pay
(about eighty-five cents) and 700I
pesetas as bonus. AS a matter
of fact, we received one peseta
day and only half of the promised
bonus.
"We never had outfits to brag
about, although they were better
than those issued to the regular
Spanish soldier. We had wool
suits, bought by the Queen of
Spain from England and given to
us as Christmas presents. We got
heavy shoes, spiral puttees and
campaign hats, but no socks, belts
or underwear. We once had
oyercoats, but they were taken
from US"
Fought in Morocco
Most OF the fighting the men
engaged In took place about
seventy-two miles southeast OF TIE
tuan, in Spanish Morocco.
THE Moors are devils at fight
Ing" the men reported. "They
fight behind trees and barricades
and seldom show themselves. One
day we fought for six and a half
hours and never saw Moor.
When we captured the town we
found nine dead bodies"
Because the men had no pass
ports they had to go through the
formality Of Ellis Island, just like
Immigrants. The process took
thirty minutes. The men declar-
cd they stlll retain their Ameri-
can citizenship because they did
not swear allegiance to Spain, but
simply signed contracts to fight.

"Come herer" she said. A naughty

Polly's shaking legs carried her

and led her away; and so preoccupied
was she with this thought that the
beauty of the clothes which she wore
made no impression upon her. She
wondered DULY when Mackenzie lifted
her bodily into the sleigh and the
coachman chirruped to the horses, just
what he intended to do with her to-
morrow.
She looked back upon the time the
authorities had sent Meg Williams to
a reform school and also recalled the
girls homecoming after her term had
been served. Now that she, herself,
was In danger of the like treatment,
Pollyop searched her mind for the de-

to the bell. "T1l order the team"
When he had given his orders to the
servant who appeared at the door, he
sank back into a chair, and Mrs. Rob
ertson went swiftly out.
Utterly oblivious of the squatter
girls presence, Marcus Mackenzie
buried his face in his hands. The new
Pollyop, the Polly of the Sun, crept
forward and touched him.
"Your woman's all right" she said
huskily. 'Don't cryi She told me
about-about the little kid a-cOmin' in

Before Mackenzie, aghast at the

answer, Mrs. Robertson entered, fol-
lowed by Eyelyn's maid.
'Tll get my coat" exclaimed Mar
Gus, jumping up. "Dress the girl warm
and send along E~vefyn's fur motor

A furtive smile curled the maids
lips as she helped pull off Jeremiah's
heavy coat, and then grew broader
as Pollyop slipped out of Daddy's
great boots. Yet the woman admitted
to herself as she dried the wet feet
and attired the squatter girl in her

was pretty. even prettier than Mrs
Mackenzie.

CHAPTER XVI

In the meanwhile a covered carriage
containing two men and a little boy
was making slow progress along the
drifted boulevard. About two miles
from Ithaca a double cutter, with
sleigh bells ringing, dashed by them.
the little light on the back of 1t glow
ing like a steady red eye until a sharp
curve In the road blotted 1t from sight.
Somebody else out. If tits a bad
night" commented the older man, who
held the boy.
"They went awful fast, too, Daddy
Hopkins" murmured the child. Didn't
'um, darlln'7"
"Yep, son." was the reply. "Sleighs
go over the snow better'n wagons"
The words hardly penetrated the
younger mans revery. His thoughts
were busy with a squatter girl who
would have a real Thanksgiving the
next day. Her joy he could picture,
but he could not join it. All his
thoughts Of her were married by an
other vision that poisoned his every
moment. Never since he had found
oscar Bennett dying in Polly's bed had
he knoHn a peaceful instant.
When the vehicle came to the cor
ner where MacKenzie's magnificent
turnout had swung into the tame lead
ing to the row Of squatter shacks at
the lakeside, Robert Percival opened
the carriage door and thrust his head
out.
This is where we turn" he shouted
to the driver. $50 slow! The drifts
are deep all the way down."
When he settled again into his seat,
he remarked:
"It's a bad night, Hopkins. Per
haps it would have been better to have
waited until morning, after ALL"
The other man bent over the boys
head and laid his face against it.
"'Twould had to be something
more'n a snowstorm to keep me In
Ithaca all night" he returned. Where
my pretty brat is, l want to be-"
"of course, of course" sighed Rob
ert.
But he did not utter aloud the
thought which flung to his lips that
he was tortured by the same wish, too.
What he did say
"Your daughter will be asleep, I've
no doubt"
"Mebbe," Hopkins answered. "But
Pollyop'n be glad to hop put Of bed
for her daddy an Jerry babyT"
Then he coughed as if trying to add
something else.

Mr., Percival," he said awkwardly.

the tall man, no longer an enemy to be
hated, merely a wounded human crea-
ture, like her dear mes In the Silent
City, to be loved and comforted.
II got your woman in my shack"
said Pollyop, straight to him, swallow
ing.
"God be thanked" screamed Mrs.
Robertson.
Something snapped In MacKenzie's
head, and for a moment he feared he
was losing his mind. Polly thought
by the blank expression of his face
that his wits had gone completely.
Ignoring the woman whom she de-
tested, she went rapidly to MacKen-
zie's side.
II had her roped up in the bed when
you was there tonight, mister" she
told him, the words tumbling over
each other in the haste Of confession.
Il were goln' to chop her head off to
get even with you. But-but-my dead
Granny Hope, an the Biggest Nam
my in All the World wouldn't let me"
1t seemed an eternity to the quak-
ing young speaker before Marcus
threw up his head and took a long
breath. o
"She-she's alive?" he demanded
hoarsely. you're very sure she isn't
dead? Girl" he bounded up and
grasped POllyop's arm, "if you lie to
me-"
II amt lynn to you, mister" inter
rupted Polly duly. "You don't need
to be scared for Miss Eve, but now
you'd best come along to my hut an

Granny Hopes coop-hole, covered up
with blankets
Something like a huge fist struck
Mackenzie. The conviction that the
squatter girls words were true lifted
him Immediately from the bottom
depths Of hopelessness. The sudden
thrush Of joyous relief brought with
1t a mental illumination, and he saw
himself as others had seen him. The
terrible. blighting uncertainty he had
borne for a few maddening hours the
girl before him had known fol-
months. If she were to blame for his
suffering, what was the measure OF
his own responsibility?
He turned swiftly to his mother-in
law and said huskily:

"Of course she didn't tell me-" came
from behind the lady's handkerchief.

He spoke moOdily, conscious that he
had treated his wife harshly, yet I'M
willing to admit 1t.
Mrs. Robertson, touched with the
same feeling, sat up, wiping her face
and brushing back her hair. She, too,
remembered now all the bitter words
she had flung at her daughter.

her, made a husky throat sound. Then
