better stay on here a spell he did not she saw look ahead he was old and growing childish he was not thinking of what might lie ahead remorselessly for him he had an idea thai by remaining here patiently behind bars he was somehow paying his debt to an over zealous system of jurisprudence the payment demanded for a private act of reasonable reprisal he was resigned to legal inter ference with his personal liberties but it was obvious that he had no idea of having done a capital crime there was a grim patience ui his attitude that went back to codes old er than america went back as the mountain people s odd speech and ancient ballads went back to an an glosaxon tradition an older stern er civilization of harquebus land entailed and inviolate and freemen responsible only to a preoccupied king or a silent heaven mariar choked on the thought of what lay ahead for tom and flung her arms around him suddenly oh tom why did you do it ev ery thing is so wrong we can t get along

looks pretty dubious virgie let her breath out slowly all sprts of odd a id ideas seethed in her mind so ne had ruined yoli mean somebody could have ruined that whole digester of pulp deliberately an expensive run ui pulp someone had it in for her but why vague rumors she had heard of communists at work dustrial re gions of sabotage labor trou bles fomented she a ounted her men had worked in the morgan mill all their lives some of them had helped david morgan to build the plant some of them sons of men who had laid the first bricks repeatedly she had called them into conferences during the black years of the depiesson laying the facts before them speaking their language bhe had made sacrifices to keep the milt in operation when there was no profit for her no pos sible wjay to show profit if the mill closed there wa no other em ployment for then a nd yet here was susp c t n sab lage and ugly doubt that tested till she had proof and ceitam knowledge upon every man in the m ii

in front of the fire staring into the blaze you sighed virgie sinking into the cushions with a groan are a cheerful sight for tired eyes if a merry laugh or a song ever sound ed in this room i suppose i d drop dead from shock what were you doing over at the jail i went over to bring tom back he wouldn t come being locked up on a criminal charge that is kind of odd you were going te arrange bail for him lon hicks said so but tom wouldn t come i suppose you had to take young wilis along in case you needed somebody to carry tom s baggage his other bandana did wills men tion that he s working for me7 not that it matters but now and then we do run off a batch of pulp when we can get a little cooperation from the gentlemen i employ mother don t be so prickly i i took mr wills over there because lossie said the people in town were saymg you had fired tom and given wills tom s job i thought perhaps tom n ight have heard it i hope you don t think i took him because i enjoyed his company virgie looked at her daughter lev elly her heart gave a little jerk like every other mother she had postponed stubbornly admitting to herself her child s maturity she had put off the inevitable hour of change when some man should desire her child for his own for days she had been seeing through branford wills clearly and she had not been displeased she liked his straight forwardness the trace of iron in htm the strong and gentle way he had with women but there was no seeing through marian virgie ad mitted to herself that her child was a darkeyed enigma to her mother and in her present state of mmd nerve taut and weary puzzles were irritating do you mean to tell me that you don t know that that chap is in love with you she demanded have i ra sed up a daughter with no moie fern nine intuition than a ground turtle why lossie knows it ore than that i or am 1 supposed to be ust a nice stupid old mother blind as a bat marian s eyes darkened and her face changed queerly there was a little convuls on of her lips that was a tremor of pain but virgie was too spent and too exasperated to see so that marian s voice crack led like ice is the cute little plot he s in love v th me so
