"Marc,'" he continued, "perhaps wo
can't agree on this matter ttt all, but
I really do want a heart-to-heart talk
with you about It. But not now I The
fact U 1 was busy when you came
In"
"Thinking tip a few more pleas for
the squatters, ch7" the other man
teased. "Well, old fellow. Just remem
ber this. I've got at least twenty-five
men watching everything that scamp
of n Hopkins docs, and when I get
something nn him, there won't be twenty-four
hours between that time and
his arrest."
Hubert almost shoved the speaker
out of the door; but Marcus only
chuckled good-naturedly as be went
away. When Robert turned the key
In the lock, he stood quite still, breath
ing hard.
From behind the curtnln, Polly
thrust out her head, her small face
wrinkled and tears standing thick In
her eyes.
"I'm u-goln' after that pup an swat
him," she hissed stonully. "He lies
when he says my daddy's a scamp."
I'crclval lifted a precautionary hand.
"Not too loud," he warned. "Come
here." She went stowly forward, her
head hanging; but when he held out
his hands she snatched them and bent
her curly head over the strong Angers
and kissed them passionately.
"Poor little girl, poor little Polly,"
murmured Robert, brokenly. Then as
she swayed toward him. his arms went
around her, and for a moment he
pressed her head against his breast.
"Polly, Pollyop," he whispered, kiss
ing her hair. "Oh, God, If I owned that
lake property I'd I'd "
A certain deep tone In his voice
brought up Pollyop's head, and she
tavr In his eyes an expression that
made her struggle from his arms.
Fleeing to the porch window, she was
gone before Robert cpuld stop her.
"Bob's n queer fish, Eve," laughed
MacKenzte, as he came Into the music
room where Evelyn Robertson was
waiting for him. "If I hadn't kept my
temper Just now, we should have
parted bad friends."
"That's like you, dear," she smiled.
But then, of course, you wouldn't let
him bother you. Fussing about the
squatters again, I suppose."
Evelyn took his big lingers In her
hand and occupied herself In examin
ing the white spots on one of the pol
ished nnll.
"My big mnn mustn't mind Bobs,"
she exclaimed persuasively, noting the
frowning lines that had come In his
face. "He's sentimental, Robert Is,
full of half-baked notions about broth-
rly love nnd helping the downtrodden.
and that sort of thing."
The man laughed Indulgently. It
delighted him to have the girl of his
choice express his own sentiments so
well.
"You precious 1" he murmured.
They can't fool my Ee much, can
they'" By n simple twist of bis wrist
lie raptured her hand. Then he took
up a favorite topic with new zest.
I want to improve my property, dear.
The Silent City's an ejesore! If I
could get the squatters off the lake
ride and buy the Bennett farm, I could
make my place the handsomest In the
county."
At the suggestion about Oscar's
furm, a different light flashed into
the girl's eyes. Her hand twitched in
his.
That would be wonderful, dear,"
she ejaculated. "If If the squatters
weren't there, you could make a very
lovely drive right along where their
roud runs, couldn't you?"
This had leen MucICenzle'a Idea,
also. What a capable girl Kve was!
He took her pretty face between his
hands and kissed her once and then
again nnd ngnln.
"Vim durllngt" he murmured.
"You're the wlfe.it little womnn In the
world I My whole umbltlon Is to make
our home Just to suit you. I was talk
ing to one of thosti landscape chaps
up ut the college the other duy, and
he said the lake section could be made
charming. We can build our house
on the lilt Just above theie!"
"And the farm," Evelyn Interposed,
Hint would Just round out your place
perfectly. Oh, honey, do that right
away. Mr. Bennett will nsk more for
It as soon us you get rid of the squat
ters."
Marcus lighted a cigarette thought
fully.
The Bennett farm wouldn't be of
any use to me," he explained slowly,
'unless I can make a clean sweep of
the whole thing. It's a crime, I tell
ou, Evelyn. Think of It I I had to
send out of the county to get my men
to watch those fellows down there.
It linen makes me tired. It's a good
thing I came buck to put some snap
Into the fight ngnlnst tho squatters."
The girl's white lids made n curtain
between his shining eyes and her own.
.velyn, vu wUhlng, oh, how very
I l-r -r
uiuili slip fiesiren Uiflt Martils would
buy the farm. Then Oscnr could lenvo
the country, nnd In another state be
would set her free! She studied Mac
Kenzle's face covertly through, halt
closed eyes, considering what to say
nnd how to say It.
MneKcnilo tiling his cigarette Into
the grate. Ho found the suggestion of
her soiled look so alluring that he
gathered her Into his arms and rained
kisses upon her face.
"I love joii so, sweet, I could almost
eat youl" he pnntcd.
A happy sigh, like the perfumed
breath of a rose, slipped from her
parted lips, nud when she laughed
ngnln, his deep chuckles Joined hoi's.
"Darling." he brnk,e forth, "I'm Just
so happy, I can't have a row with Bob,
Why don't you talk to him about the
squntters? He'll listen to yon, Eve I
But, darling, that s a detail." He took
one of her hands and kissed the tips
of her slender lingers. "The most Im
"Oh, Eve, Eve, I Want Youl"
portunt thing to be considered now Is
when are you going to marry mu? I
can't, I simply can't wait much longer!
Oh. Eve, Eve, I want you I '
Fiercely he drew her head against
him; and the silence that followed wit
fraught with rapture for them both.
Oh I She wanted to be his wife, to
forget the past two wretched years. If
Oscar did not stand In her way, how
quickly she would give this man the
happiness he craved nud drink deep of
It herself.
"When, my love?" breathed Mnrcus
thickly, caressing her. "When, dear?'
Gravely she lifted her head and
looked Into his eyes for a few seconds.
"When you buy the Bennett farm,"
she ventured. "It It "
"And get rid of the squatters too.
I suppose," he laughingly Interrupted.
"And get rid of tho squntters too."
nodded Evelyn. Then she kissed him
softly nnd whispered, "My sweet
heart 1"
A moment Inter she moved to re
lease herself; nnd with another kiss he
let her go. Then lie smiled whimsi
cally. "Now It's settled, dearest," he said,
rising. "I won't give you a minute's
pence until you begin on your pretties,
though the way you've set the day
makes It rather Indefinite." He waved
his arm In a wide-open gesture, nnd
finished: "But I'll see that It's mighty
soon."
Mrs. Robertson's daughter was In
a brown study before the lire when
that lady came Into the room, a few
minutes Inter.
"Marc went early tonight, didn't he.
Eve?" she questioned, as she dropped
Into a chair.
"He had to go and meet someone
about those tiresome squatters," Eve
explained. "I'm. sick of the sound of
their names. Marcus says if he enn't
get rid of them, he'll leave Ithnrii."
A step In the ball clnred the con
versation fur the time being, and a
moment Inter Robert Percival Joined
them. In silence Mrs. Robertson
studied his face, filie wondered wbnt
had changed him so perceptibly In the
Inst little while. Ho looked almost
haggard to her searching eyes. She
was about to question him as to Ills
health when the younx man turned to
Evelyn.
"Eve, dear," he began hesitatingly,
"I want something done very badly
nnd perhaps you can accomplish It
for me."
A lazy smile stole to Evelyn's lips.
"And you know, Bob, I'll do II
If I can," alio responded. "Tell me
what's on your mind, honey."
"Certainly; why, yes, Indeed," Inter
Joctod Mrs. Rohcitsun, "Toil know,
Boh, Evo and I will do anything wo
can for youl"
The expression of anxiety, which hl
face had worn since ho had seen the
last of Polly Hopkins, lifted n lllllo.
"Tlmt's lino I" ho eeln lined heartily.
"There's nothing like a fellow's own
women folks, Is there? And you're
Just as good to mo as If I belonged to
you."
Mrs. Robertson bridled onniclnusly,
pleaied with her nephew and pleased
with herself,
"Why, Robert, dear," she returned,
"you do belong to us. God bless you,
boy, you're uty baby and Eve's little
brother. Now tell us what's bothering
you."
"It's Mare's row with the squatters I
I can't get the poor devils out of my
mind. Evo, can't jou get him to leave
the settlement people alone? I'd let
them have some of my land, but It
doesn't touch the Inko, nud they
couldn't uinko a living on It,"
Evelyn arose and crossed the room
to tho table. She bad not expected
this. Her promise to MitcKcnilo
Hashed Into her mind I
"I don't like Interfering with Marc's
business, Bob," she demurred, "Re
sides, he wants to Improve the prop
erty down there, nnd ho on n't while
the fishermen stay on the shore I"
Gently, for Robert had always boon
llku n younger brother to her, and she
loved him dearly, Evelyn explained
MncKeuzle's plans nnd showed how
Impossible t wns for her, under the
clrcumxtiinres. to Interfere with them.
Then she crossed to his side and bent
over him.
"Robert, dear," she begged. "Forget
nbout the squatters. They nren't any
thing special to yon I" To head off an
objection thnt she snw In his eyes, she
hurried on: 'They're poor and unfor
tunate, I know. I'm sorry for them.
We all are; but you can't deny they're
worthless and filthy, and worst of all,
they haven't any right to be where
they are. You won't let them come bo
tween you and Marc and me, will
you?"
Without giving the mnn a chance to
nnswer, Mrs. Robertson Interrupted:
"Mercy, Eve, why of course he
won't! Marc will soon be one of the
fnmlly. People of our social stnudlng
don't wrangle over such cattle at the
squatters." She turned smilingly to
the young mnn nnd ended sweetly:
"You feel that way, don't you. Bob?"
Disregarding both the Indy nnd her
question, Robert got up, his tips grim
nnd his fine brow corrugated with
tines. Evelyn and Marcus could do as
they pleased; he would take his stand
right there.
"Evelyn," he said slowly, "I should
bo sorry to have uiiytlilug come be
tween us. You've alnays been like a
dear sister to me. I supposo it's nat
ural and right for you to see this the
way Marc does. You're engaged to
Mm. but you can tell him for me I'm
going to heli the squntters any way
and every way I can."
Too angry to listen to any more ar
guments, be pushed his chair to one
side and left the room.
Mrs. Robertson looked daggers nt
her daughter and as soon as she could
get her breath, broke out:
"Now, Evelyn, seo what a storm
you've stirred up! Why didn't you use
a little diplomacy? That was the least
you could have done. You get Marc
anil Bob by the ears, and nlure'll you
be!"
"Oh I I don't know I I don't know 1"
moaned Evelyn. "Don't talk to me
any more. I'm Just about crazy. I'm
going to bed! Good night 1"
CHAPTER IX.
In splto of the weight of npprchcii
hIiui that pressed upon the Silent City,
Polly's soul Insisted on singing with
glndnesx. She found opportunity, even
In the midst of her busy hours, to live
over and over the adventures of Hint
evening In the Robertson house. When
she remembered how Robert had held
tier In his arms, her happiness made
her almost faint.
She nlloucil Jerry's gingham blouse
to fall neglected in Iter hip, as In Imag
ination she dwelt on every Incident of
her visit. She recalled the thrilling
tenderness In Robert's words, nnd her
face grew soft In delightful revery.
A sound at tho door brought her
thoughts buck and she glanced up,
startled. Unnoticed, the blouse
dropped to Hie floor ns Evelyn Robert
son ni i h In. Embarrassed and In si
lence, Pollyop arose uml ottered her
a chnlr.
"You ain't feeling well, I net," she
burst out, wiping the dust from the
roio soul of the rocker with tier skirt.
You look white like the moon does
before u rnln. Co on, an' sit down I"
Sinking back, Eveljn looked stead
ily up at her. Then she caught ut the
hand resting on her shoulder.
"Pollyop, I've come to you because
you're the only friend I have," she ex
claimed, tears misting her eyes.
"I'm nuful glad jou comn to me,"
Polly breathed softly, "You wiuit me
to run to Oscnr again? 1 can't stand
the sight of that duffer, but I'll go Just
the mime. I In vo you got a letter"
Willing her eyes, Evelyn shook her
bend.
"No, but Oscnr wants to seo you,"
she replied. Slin paused and studied
the girl, "Polly," sbu continued,
don't you want to do something for
for your people? There's a wuy, Pol
lyop, Hint you can"
Impulsively Polly could not wnlt,
"Do you menu help Daddy Hopkins
an' the rest of 'em?" she Interrupted.
Evelyn nodded.
"Yes, every one In tliu settlement."
A brilliant siullo lit up I'ollyop's
countenance.
"I'd glvo Inches out of my hide to
do Hint," she declined, "Go nn, nn'
yiin It to me."
