rible silence and then the draw ing-room door opened. Peeping through her own she saw the vis- itor cross the upper hall and go heavily down the stairs; a big red- faced man in riding-clothes. He looked dazed she thought; for a moment she wondered whether he were drunk or i'll.
 She went to the window of the hall when the slow footsteps had finally faded from the house; she could see by peering out and down, into the yard of the inn next door. Within five minutes MT Lodely came into it and she watched him dip into one pocket after the other for the sixpence to the boy who was betting his horse. Six pence? She sniffed-a shilling, more likely. They'd never had any sense of money, either him or his wife. They'd spent every penny of their income for the last ten years, although they insisted that they lived a simple country life.
 Mrs. Cane, mouse-brown at her upper window. checked over the Lodely simplicities; open house to the county, horses, dogs, servants; sables and tailor -mades for shop ping days in Toxeter, fland-spun tweeds for every day. Of course, there was poor little Mark, he was a great expense and one had never groudged him the best of everything. And what hope was there for his future now?
 MT. Lodely, down in the inn yard mounted and rode slowly out of her sight; but the eyes of

her mind remained upon him, much as her thin shoulder re- mained against the window-pane because she herself was tired and unhappy. In her imagination she followed the riders home-faring: she saw him come out from un- der the old archway of the inn and turn into the Yarn Market, and then up High Street; he would take his way out of the town by one of the many lanes that climbed into the folds of Upper Mallard hill.
 She raised her head and gazsd at Upper Mallard hill, that great, golden Mallard and the world; the gentrty" lived up there; al- most she could see the roofs of the house she called in her west country way ''Lodely's." And she could see that all the way up to that house, people touched their hats to the man on the horse Bankrupt he might be but they would always touch their hats to him. Whereas they would only stare at her and James.
 "Em. Here a minute!"
 She jumped and turned; James was motioning her into the draw ingroom. But her thoughts were still vaguely With the man who had recently left it and, as she mechanically strengthened cushions and emptied an ash-tray, she ask ed
 You don't think he'll do any, thing to himself, do you?"
 The reinsurance she expected did not come
 He might. It's all he can do And if he did I'd be the last to stop him."
 She glanced at her husband and her pride in his defiance gave place o her usual faint fear. Yes

for all he was so thin and sandy colored and harmless looking, and such good father to little Leila, she was nearly always frightened of him. He had a fixed smile that-well, she couldn't jut name to it. But when he told her to stop fidgeting and come to the window, she obeyed hi manxiously.

And when she nodded-"Well, that's where I was going to build my house. No Upper Mallard for me, with gentlemen's residence all round me, eyeing my right and left.

 T won't be spoke to like that, MT. Lodely, not by anyone and by you least of all.' Her husbands voice was growing regrettably rag ged and high, she thought, and he wasn't expressing himself quite so gentlemanly as usual; but he was sticking to his point, he was standing. up for. himself and, al- though she trembled, she craned her neck to hear him. But MT Lodely was exploding again.

 The road to Kings Mallard held steadily west. When the most remote of cathedral cities had been left behind and the last big spread farm had ditGhed down into wasteland there was still a signpost to point due west, "To Kings Mallard.'
 Then. nara on the post, came an uprising of hills-heather cov- cred hills lying in plumy course like the tips of a feather fan; open to the sea. And in the center Of the fan, the bay And in the most sheltered lip of the bay, the town, Kings Mallard; west of the world. The old quayside-for Mallard had been a kings port, once and the still older Yarn Market, were hemmed in by what had once been merchants homes and were now the offices of Kings Mallard's s professional men.
 The bank was there, for instance it struggled over the lower floors of two of the oldest buildings.

DEATH VISITS JUNGLE;
TRAMPS CONTINUE WORK

Benson.-Death visited the "jun-
gle" last week when a 73-year-old
transient breathed his last in that
picturesque spot on the banks of the
Chippewa river near Benson. The
dead man was identified as Pete Oh
SON by one of his companions. He
had been living in the jungle for three
weeks and had been i'll for several
days. When the authorities entered
the jungle to get the body, score
of hoboes was scattered through the
woods. They paid little attention to
the visitors and apparently did not
know that one of their comrades lay
dead few feet away. AS the body
of the dead transient was carried
away, the hoboes continued their
usual tasks with indifference-wash-
ing their few articles of clothing,
heating "mulligan" over an open fire,
weaving articles of willow, drinking
canned heat or just loafing.
