pride in him. If he had cursed Hubby,
he would not have been VIII Ferrin !;
not the man she had long loved. So
she said no word of blame for Hubby,
and the matter thereafter did not rise
between them.
But Bart Carey was not so tactful,

And Jenny, listening, loved him
more and more.
In the matter Of Seth's death, VIII
was held blameless. None had seen
the beginning of the encounter between
them; but the mill men had seen and
could testify that Seth shot viii, and
tried TO shoot him again; and Bart
could testify that Seth had borrowed
the gun, as though the thing were pre-
meditated. So, though VIII had TO an

again; and when he had learned the

farm on the hill.
