The poplars and the fir hedge would protect the garden--maybe. The sheep were in the pasture, the lambs cowering under them. The rain came in colossal gusts. Now the outer world was black, except for the livid flares of lightning. The thunder was almost incessant, shat tering. Martin lit the lantern in the kitchen, and they - all sat about, waiting. Caleb did not come in. "The hail must have gone over," sald Ellen presently, from the window. "And it 'wasn't a. cyclone--I thought I made out a funnel in the clouds, but it was getting too dark to see," Jude remarked. A deafening crash of sounded immediately outside barn. The house rocked.

She went to the sheep pasture, where she saw the ewes huddling, wet to' the skin under their cropped wool. She picked up ome of the lambs and hugged it to her. Then she glanc- ed up and saw a man on an Indian pony riding in at the gate. She recognized the pony. "Goat-eyes!" she exclaimed herself. to . . . Ellen came out of deors. When she saw the man on the horse she stop- ped stock-still, her hands darting to- gether before her. He got down from the saddle, and | quiely fastened the bridle to the post. Then with long, slow steps he approached Ellen, removing his wide brimmed felt hat as he did so. "I come back, Ellen, like I sald," he told her in a low voice. "You look surprised." She had given him her hand dazedly. "I---I wasn't sure," she murmur- ed. "All the folks here?" Ellen nodded, adjusting her glass- es over her nose. "Won't you come in? Where were you during the storm?" - "Where was 1?" he laughed, walk- ing beside her toward the house. "My pony and I find a place in any storm." He told her that he had been camping out all the way from the southern lakes, and that he intend- ed to do so for the rest of the dis- tance to the most northern outpost on the great river. "Will you come?" he whispered, just before she opened the door of the house. Ellen dropped: her eyes before his dark face. His eyes were peculiarly drawn back, and a yellow olive in color, like the eyes of a goat. He was Scotch, with Cree blood two generations back, and had been Caleb Gare's hired man for three years until a year ago. They went indoors and Caleb saw him. "Well--" he declared, stepping forward to seize Malcolm's hand, "it here ain't Malcolm back again! How are ye--how are ye, boy?" Malcolm grinned 'and shook hands with Amelia and Martin in turn. By his heartiness, Caleb made it 'ap- pear that there was no embarrass- ment felt at his coming--although each member of the family private ly suspected that it meant more to Ellen than she had any right to pegmit it to mean. Ellen stayed in the background and buttered the crusts of the biscuits she had taken from the oven, while Malcolm re- plied to Caleb's questions about his trip. '"We can put Malcolm up for a couple of days, eh, mother?' Caleb suggested, turning to Amelia. '"'Bet- ter rest before you start on the next lap." . Malcolm thanked him, but said he had arranged at Yellow Post to do some boat building for Erik Bjarnasson, and that he would be leaving again that very evening, westward. Malcolm went out to the barn with Martin and Caleb. Ellen be- gan to prepare supper, while Amelia hurried to see whether damage had been done to her tomato vines. herself the thing that was young in You are Worried About his Health : § 2 si I i 3 f § ff !

She had only one little memory-- before he went away Malcolm _ had kissed her in the half darkness when they were milking, and later he had in a breath asked her to wait until his return. Then it had been all over, and she 'had gone about her work as if her day was not just one great loneliness. know. No one must know. The tears rose in her eyes and she brushed them hastily aside, starting as tfe screen door creaked. It was only Lind, coming in qulet- ly as she always did. She stepped up and put an arm around Ellen's waist. "Who is that dark man with your father, Ellen?" she asked. "Oh--just an old hired man of his," she responded. Lind noticed that she said, "his." Everything about the place was "his," even the hired man, it appeared. She wondered if he were the one Judith had spoken of, He seemed to have come out of nowhere, like the storm. Lind looked out of the window to the west where the evening was set- ting in a cloudless rose. It would be beautiful down the wood road now, the trees washed and shining. "I wish you had'time to come for a little walk with me," she said to Ellen. "It's so peaceful out now after the storm." "Have to get supper," said Bllen. "Well, then I think I'll go alone." When Lind had left, Ellen stepped softly to the door and glanced in the direction of the barn. On the cattle trail that led along the pas- ture, she saw Malcolm with Caleb who was sweeping his arm toward. the south in an inclusive gesture. Her mind tried to follow them, to learn what Malcolm was being told. There was something behind this cordiality of Caleb's. Its motive would be clear before long. It was pride of a strangely severe kind that kept Ellen from rebelling against her father. Rebellion would be the open admission of the con- sclougness of a wrong. Caleb was | her father, and any wrong that he had committed must, necessarily, re- | flect upon herself. Hence she | strove to vindicate in her own mind | Caleb's conduct of the lives and the | affairs on the farm. In her struggle | to do this she was driven farther | and farther within herself. The | coming of Malcolm Into her life again was like the scene in a mirage which she hoped with her whole heart were solid land, even while she knew it to be only a vision. It could not materialize. Nothing ever did. She stood in the doorway, a shal- low-bodied little girl with red hands and a flat chin. Her large, dilated eyes that somehow gave her an ap- pearance of beauty, watched the two men until they turned and 'went southeast in the direction of the flax field. She wondered if Malcolm would not look back and see her standing there--then she remem- bered that she would not at that distance be able to see whether he did or not. Presently the figures of Caleb.and Malcolm merged into one, and the distant pallor of the flax field swallowed them. Ellen pressed her hands to her eyes and turned from the door. . 0» "Pretty fine stuff, 'that, eh?" Caleb demanded of Malcolm, who stooped to examine the texture of the flax. '"That'll mean a new house in the spring, if it keeps on the way it's goin'. Got to build, you know, Malcolm. The giris--they deserve a decent home.
