some young student who is work
ing on the farm during the sum
mer, l'earl, Clem's daughter, hatcB
Sally because David is plainly
fond of the little orphan and de
termined to make Pearl and her
crowd accept Bally as their equal.
Ono Sunday morning Sally iB
left alone In the kitchen while
the Carson family goes to church.
David sits on the back porch,
book in hand, studying. They are
BurpriBed when rcarl returns sud
denly from church and accuses
Sally of havintr stolen her dia
mond pin.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER VIII
Rally stared at Pearl, color
draining out of her cheeks and
out of her sapphire eyes, until she
waB a pale shadow of the girl who
had been glowing and sparkling
under the sun of Davld'B affoc
' tlonaie interest.
"I haven't Been your diamond
bar-pin, Pearl," Bhe said at last.
"Honest, I haven't!"
. "You're lying! I saw you stoop
nml pick something up In front of
tho sofa last night. I was crazy
not to think of my hnr-pln then,
but I remembered all right this
morning, when It waB gone off this
dress, tho same dross I was wear
ing last night. See, David!" shu
appealed Bhrllly to the boy, who
was looking at her with narrowed
levol eyes. "It was pinned right
hero! You can see where it was
stuck In! Look!
- David said nothing, but a slow
odil smllo curled his lips without
reaching those level, narrowed
eyes of his. . . ,
"What aro you looking at mo
llko that for?" Pearl socreamed.
'.'I .won't have you looking at mo
like that! Stop It!"
Slowly, his eyes not leaving
Peari'a face for a moment, David
thrust hlB right hand Into his
pocket. When he withdrew It,
something lay on his palm a nar
row bar of flllgreed white gold,
Bet with a small,- square-cut dia
mond. Still without speaking, ho
extended his hand slowly toward
Pearl, but Alio drow back, her oyos
popping with surprise and yes,
Sally was Buro of It fear.
"Where did you got that?" alio
gasped.
"Do you roally want mo to tell
you?" David flpoko at last, his
yolco queer and hard. ,
"No!" Poarl shuddered. "Not
Does Bhe doos sho know?"
"No, sho wub tolling the truth
when sho Bnld that sho hadn't
aeon the pin," David answered
filliping the pin contemptuously to
win niienuii Mtuie. UU next lime
I think you'd bettor put It away
In. your own room. And Poarl, you
really must try to ovorcomo this
ubsontnilndcdnoHS of yours. It may
get you into troublo somotlmo."
Pearl shivered, Boomed to shrink
visibly undor her fUBBy pink
georgette dress.
"Oh," she walled suddenly, hor
face crumpling up in a spasm of
weeping. "You'll halo mo now!
And. you used to llko mo, boforo
sho. enmol You oh, I bnto you!
Quit looking at mo llko that!"
"Hadn't you bettor go back to
church?" David suggested mildly.
"Tell your mother you found your
pin Just whero you'd left it," that
contemptuous smllo deepening on
bis lips.
"You won't tell Papa, will you?"
Pearl whlmperod, ns sho turned to
ward tho door. "And you won't
tell hor?" Sho could not boar to.
Utter Rnltv'a nnmn
"No, I won't toll," David assured
hor, "Hut I'm Buro you'll try to
mnko up to Sally for having beon
mistaken about the pin."
"She's all you think of!" Pearl
cried, then, sobbing wildly, she
ran out of the kitchen door.
"Clunss I'd bettor not bother you
any longer, or they'll bo blaming
mo If dltmor Is late," David said
casually, but ho paused to pat tho
llttlo hand that was clenching tho
table.
Snlly was so puzzled by tho
strangeness of the sceno sho hail
wltnesBcd, so tormented by brief
glimpses of something near the
truth, so weak from reaction, no
stirred by gratitude to David, that
she wns making poor headway
with dinner when Clem Cnrson,
w-lio had not gone to church, enmo
In from tho barns, droHRod In over
alls in deflanco of tho day.

of castor oil and sho slobbered all
over mo."
Hn took tho big black Iron to,
kettle from the stove and filled the
granlto wash basin half full of the
steaming water. A ho latlmrel
his hands until festoons of snap
bubbles hung from them, ho cock
ed nu appraising eye at Sally, who
wns bu?!!y mll'ng plo crust on a
yellow plno board.
"Dave been hanging around Ito
kitchen this morning, ain't he?"
Sally's hands tightened on the
rolling pin and her eyes flutlorod
guiltily ns she answered, "Yet,
sir."
"Iletter not encourage Mm. If
you know which side your bread's
buttered on," the farmer advised
laconlcallv. "r reckon you know
bv this tlmn that Pearl's picked
him nut and that things Is hist
about settled between 'em. Fine
match, too. He'll own his grand
dad's place soma day next farm
to thla one. nnd the voting folks
will be mighty well fixed, t reck
on Dave's pretty much like any
other young whlppersnapper
ready to cock an eye at any pretty
girl that comes along, before be
settles down, but It don't mean
anything. Understand?"
"Yes, sir," Sally murmured.
' "1 reckon any fool could sea
that 1'eaiTs mighty near the apple
of my eye," Carson went on, as
he dried his hands vigorously on
the Sunday freab roller tuwjl.
"And If Bhe took a notion that
maybe some oilier girl from the
orphanage would suit us better,
wby 1 don't know as I could d.j
anything else but take you back.
Aud I'd bate that. You're a nici,
pretty little thing, real handy in
thv kitchen, but, yes sir, I'd have
to tell the .matron that you Just
didn't suit. . . . Well, I got to get
buck to that yearlln'."
bomehow Sally managed to tin-
lull cooking tho big Sunday dinner
uciore mo ramiiy returned from
church. Out of deference for the
day sho decided to change from
hor faded gingham to her white
dress before serving dinner. Sure
ly she had a right to look decent!
Clem Carson couldn't construe her
humble "dressing up" as a bid for
David s attention.
In her little garret room sho
scrubbed her face and hands, pln-
neu me neavy braid of soft b ack
hair about hor head, and then
reached under hor low cot bed for
tier small bundle of clothes, in
which was rolled her onlv nnli- of
flno-rlbbod white lisle stockings.
As alio draw out thn bundle xh.

rolled and then re-rolled clumsily,
nui ul an in ner own neat rashlon.
Then Buddonly full comprel.eiiiKon
came to her. The pieces of tho
puaalo settled miraculously Into
shape. It was hero, in this bun
dle that David had found the bur
pin. Somehow David had seen
Poarl slip Into the room that mnrn.
Ing, had gucased that her secret
vlBlt boiled no good for Sally; had
Bplod on hor, and then later had
retrieved tho bar-pin from the
bundle In which Pearl had lil.l,l..n
it.
If David had not seen Hut aim
could not go on with the thought.
Trembling so that hor teeth chat
tered sho dressed herself as de
cently as her orphanage wardrobe
permitted, and then went down
atalrs to "dish up" the dinnor she
had prepared.
immediately after dinnor David
went across fields to call on his
grandfather, a grouchy, sick old
mun who almost hated tho boy be
cause he would soon own tho
lands which he himself had loved
so passionately. Ho did not ro
turn for suppor, and at broakfaBt
on Monday thoro was no tlmo for
more than a smllo and a cheerful
"Good morning," which Sally, with
Clom Carson'B oyos upon hor,
hardly dared roturu.
Snlly wondorod If David had
beon warned, too, for as tho days
passed sho seldom saw him alono
for as much as a minute. Por
hnps ho was being careful for hor
Buko,' suspecting Carson's antagon
ism, or porhaps, In spite of tho
Bhumoful trick In which ho had
caught her, ho really cared for
Pearl. Evenings ho sat for a
short tlmo lu the living room or on
tho front porch, Pearl bosldo him,
chattering anlmntedly; but he was
always lu his room studying by 10
o'clock, a blessed fact which mado
hor own Isolation in hor llttlo gar
rot room moro eiiBy to bear.
On Thursday morning nL 10
o'clock David appeared at thv
kitchen door, an axo iu his hands.
"Will you turn tho crliwlntnim
for mo while 1 shnrpon this axle

but his eyes gave hor a deen. sig
nificant look that mado hor heart

ino grindstone, a huge, heavv
stone whool turned by a pedal ar
rangement, was sut up near the
first of tho great red bnrns. While
Sally poured wnlor at Intervals
upon tho slono, Dnvld held tho
bliulo against It, and uudor cover
of the whirring, grating nolso he
talked to her In a low volco.
"Everything all right, Snlly?"
"Pino!" sho fnltercd. "I get
awful tired, but there's lots to cat
such good things to ent and
Pearl's given mo somo droBsos Unit
are nicer than nny 1 ovor had be
fore, oxcopt they're too big for
me "
"Isn't sho fat?" David grinned
nt her, aud sho was reminded
again how young ho wns, although
ho scemod so very grown-up to
her. "She wouldn't bo so fat If
sho worked a tenth as hard as you
do."
David's eyes flashed with Indig
nation and n suspicion of con
tempt fur (he meek llttlo girl op
posite him. "You'ro earning live
times as much ns vnnr beard and
room and a few odd clothes that
Pearl doesn't wait nro wo;"h. It

"Sal-lee! Ain't that nxo ground
yet? Tlmo to start dlniu.ri I

the kitchen door.
"Walt, Sally," David command
ed. "Wouldn't you like to tnko a
walk with me after supper to
night? I'll help you with tho
dishes. You never get out of the
house, except to tho garden. You
haven't even seen tho fields vet.
I d llko to show you around. Tho
moon's full tonight"
"Oh, I can't!" Sally gasped with
tho pain of refusal. "Pearl Mr.
Carson "
"I want you to come," David
said steadily, his eyes commanding
her.
"All right," Sally promised reck
lessly, her cheeks nlnk with .
ltement, her eyes sofe and vel
vety, llko dark blue pennies.

ly nine o'clock It waB not yot dark;
tho sweet, throbbing peace of a
Juno twilight that whispered
through the leaves of the fruit
trees, brooded over the farm.
I hurried as fast as I could! 1
she gasped. "Grandma Carson rip-
pod up this dress for me this after
noon and while you and I were
washing dishes Mrs. Carson stitch
ed up the scams. Wasn't that
sweet of her? Do you like it.
David? It was awrul dirty and I
wiiBhed it in gasoline this utter
noon, while I was doing Pearl's
tilings." ,
She backed awny from him, took
tho full skirt of tho made-over
drosB between tho lliunih and fore
finger of each hand, and made him
a curlsuy. t.
"You look llko a picture In It,"
David told her gnively. "When I
flaw Pearl busting -out of it I had
no Idea it was Bucti a pretty dross."
"I couldn't hnvo kept It on to
night it Pearl hadn't already loft
for tho party at Willis's.. Wns she
terribly mad at you because you
wouldn't go?"
David shrugged his broad Bhoul
dera, but the.ro was a twinkle in bin
oyoB. "Lot's talk about something
pleasant. Want a poach, Snlly?"
And Sally ate tho peach ho gave
hor, though she hud peeled so
inuny for canning those last fow
days that sho had ' thought she
novor wanted to seo another peach.
Ilut this was a special peach, for
David had choBen it for hor, had
loucneu it wun his own hands.
They walked slowly down the
fruit-scented lane together, Sally's
shoulder sometimes .touching Da
vid's coatsleovc, her ehort legs
striving to keep step with his
long ones.
She listened, or appeared to lis
ten, drugged with content, her
fatlguo and tho smarting of her
gnsolinc-roddeuod hands complete
ly forgotton.
"Wo got a good stand of winter
wheat and oats. There's t h o

tant flold of foot-high grain.
"It's so pretty all of it," Sally
sighed blissfully. "You wouldn't
think, Just to look nt a farm, that
It makes people mean and cross
and Btingy and, Ugly, would you?
Looks like growing things for peo
ple to cut ought to mako us hap

side; they're too busy. And too
worried," David told her gravely
"I'm different. I live in the city
In tho whiter nnd I can hardly
wall to get to tho farm In tho sum
mer. Ilut It's not my worry If the
summer Is wet and tho wheal
rusts. I ll bo happy to own a piece
of land somo day, though, oven If
I shall own all tho worries, too
I'm going to bo a sclontlflo fnrm
er, you know."
"I'd lovo to live on a farm."
Snlly agreed, with entire Inno
cence. "But every evening at twi
light I'd go out and look at my
growing things and aeo how pretty
a picture they mado, and try to
forget all tho hack-breaking work
I d put In to mako It so pretty."
They were walking single file

"The earth Is soft, and dry trom-,

Sally obeyed, locking her slendor
knoos wllh her hands aud resting
hor chin upon them.
"Tired, Sally? They work you
too hard," David said softly, as he
Bented himself nt a little distance
from hor. "I suppose you'll be
glad to ot back to the Home In
the fall."
Sally's drcam-flllcd eyes bnrely
discernible in the dark, turned
toward him, and her voice, hushed
but determined, spoko tho words
that had been throbbing In her
brain for four days:
"I'm not going back to the Homo
ever. I'm going to run away."
"Uood for you!" Dnvld applaud
ed. Then, wllh sudden serious
ness: "Put what will you do? A
girl alone, llko you? And won't
they try to bring you back? Isn't
thero a law Unit will let them hunt

"Oh, ycB. The stale's my legal

answered, fright creeping back In
to nor volco. "I'd rather die than
go back to the orphanage for two
moro years. You don't know what
It's like," bIio added with sudden
vehemonco, and a sob-catch in hor
throat.
"Tell mo, Sally," David urged
gently. ;
And Sally told him In shoft
gasping sentences, r o u g hend
sometimes by tears of tho life of
orphaned girls.
"Wo hnvo enough to eat to keen
from starving and they glvo us

went on recklossly, her loiig-dnm-nicd-up
emotion released by IiIb

Hut Sally, Sally, what could

"No,' Sully acknowledged nn.
slnnately. "1'vo never hnd moro

"I I can't promise, David," she
confossed in a strangled voice. "I

"What do you mean, Sally?"
