“JUST POLLYOP-POLLY HOPKINS!” "What’s ynnr name s" Ac inquired. "■lust Pnllyop," was the answer. ‘‘Polly Hopkins. My daddy is Jeremiah Hopkins , Me mayor of this.settlement.” “Can Ido somethiny for you. Polly Hopkins f“ queried Robert, as she finished telling about life in the squatters ’ city. She finny out both hands in a comprehensive gesture as niuch as to say he could see for himself how much-she needed. "Sure, sure you can," she said v:ith fierce emphasis. "You can make Old Mgrc leave us squatters be. You’re bigger’n- he is! squatters need you awful bad.” Her voice broke. Robert took a long breath. Os course he could help this girl and her people. He would, too! *4s far as money gave power, he could equal and surpass Marcus MacKenzie. “I did thy to talk sense into MT. MdcKenzie’s head,” he returned presently, “but now 1 will make him leave you alone.” In spite of the curved lips about which a smile lurked, there was apprehension in her she asked: “Can you lick ’tin to a finish, mister?" "Yes, 1 think 1 could,” laughed Robert; "but it won’t be necessary.” " ... "Then I see tii Silent City folks bein’ happy again," sighed Roily. “We got a hwful lot of things an folks to take care of here,” •i & There you have them—S-Storm Country Polly and Robert Percival, heroine and hero of another of thoe fascinating stories by Grace Miller White. “Tess of the Storm Country” was her first story. It was printed as . serial in a magazine for women—and practically established the magazine. It was put on the mofie screen —and made the fortune of a woman film star of world-wide fame. Os course Grace Miller White (Mrs. Friend H. Miller) kept right on writing of the “Stprm Country." Half a dozen other stories have been successes. More than a million copies of her hooks have been sold. The “Storm Country,” by the way, is Cayuga Lake and vicnity in New York, one of the garden spots of the world. Given a beautiful and persecuted squatter girl and a nice young man with brains, sympathy and money —what more do you want for romance! ' ‘
CHAPTER I. —l . Four miles from Ithaca, N. Y„ Oscar Bennett's farm 'spread Its acres along the face of West Hill between the Lehigh Valley tracks ami the highway leading to Trummisburg. Oscar Hennett. was- what the .country people and even, the Ithaca folks called a fine farmer. His farmhouse faced a lane that ic<r to the west shore of Lake Cayuga, and front the front porch he could see. much to his dislike, the few struggling Squatter . shacks that brought to an end northward the Silent City. Like aJI other substantial citizens. Oscar detested the squatters. In his estimation they were a set of thlevffig loafers and sneaks, and many ! times he had wished that he oiyned the ground they squatted on instead of Marcus Mackenzie. Os course it was no secret that MacKenzle never let jin opportunity slip to pop a -fisherman into jail, hut jh Bennett's-wlnnion that treatmeht was twit severe enough, and besides, it did not accomplish anything. MacKenzie's idea .was to jail the men whenever the chance came and for a -period as long as the law,would allow. Hut what good did that do? Fierce hatred flamed in the haggard faces,of the women, and they held to Their ■eqyattor rights with the tenacity of leeches until their" husbands were given hack to them. Bennett Would have done away with the wives and mothers if the j.UV.of breaking up .the Silent City had been his. . No man would hang to a tfm-hiiig without a Woman in.it. One moruing in.the early spring Osear was finishing his breakfast .when the. doom opened slowly: A girt with a small t;n paU' , |n her hand stepped into tlie-room. She smiled n't him almost luiiijily., “Shut the door "' he shouted at tier. "Where's your - manners, ' Polly 1 fopkins? Can't you see_the rain’s’ coming im after von VThe smWe-faded front the girl's face, Mechanically she turned, 'closet) the • door and, uninvited, seated herself in a chair and placed the ptlil at her side. * ■ , “So you’ve come begging,.

Oscar ah ways abused lier and called her name?, hut that was because she was a squatter. After a while, he'd change ids mind, and then she would lake-home wiyit she fame for. She noted.with a quick breath (hut Oscar's eyes softened during the time he waf*-silent, That boded well for her errand; hut Herb uefrs-mind was not oil thiiit;„or any "of those suffering for the want of it. He had just discovered that Polly Hopkins was beautiful even if she were barefooted and ragged. Her straight young shoulders were covered with wet curls that seemed to have
civeii to the wide eyes their Shade of ripe chestnuts, Polly expected every moment that Oscar would, reach oqt for' the, pail, and, though with, had grace, he'd give her the milk just the same. She fidgeted in her chair and drew a long sigh-—he was staring at her in such a peculiar manner from under his heavy' brows. Why-had he not noticed before that Polly Hopkins was so preyy. Oscar wondered, and a slow smite parted his lips. Polly's eyes lowered, and the loffe dark lashes only'added to Bennett’s- sudden admiration. A quickdrawn breath slipped audibly past the man’s teeth. I’ollyop sensed lit his ati iitude toward her a hew quality that she recognized Intuitively ns rtangeri ous. To bring his attention hack to the purpose of her visit, she ventured to sav: “I thought it wouldn’t hurt you none, Oscar, to gimme a little.milk for Granny Hope an’ JCrfy: I'm atWarCS runnin’ errands for you an’ your woman.” 'Bennett's heavy farm boots made a scraping sound under the table. “What good does that do me?" he returned. “Upon my soul, I might as Well ts without a wife as to have one who won't live with me or let anyone know ini her hlisbaftd. I’m genin' sick.: g(Kid and plenty sick, I _can dell you.. Miss Pel'v llopkißs." This speech did. not, disturb Polly 1 over niuch. for he'd trade it a dozen --times heforg. It was only the expression fir fits gaze. She . did not quite like,. Her .mind went to Evelyn Robertson,, tW -7gii;l that Oscar had married.. As if it were hut yesterday, she ; ’ remembered how _tW(y..years-ugo"Sif(Tl had gone with them tinder protest to a minister far hack In the hills. Evelyn had explained that for some time To mme fib -one' but' the tluc-e 'must know of the marriage. . I’ollyop had learned .a great many things jn two years! What..girl'.dpfcSr.. HOT after site's passed her fifteenth birthday? One-of the Things she had found out was that Ost-ar was a "dread-, ful person, more'rlyeadfuJ than most of the squatter men. (if course the men “folks of her people did beat their women,- now and then; "l'lnit was their ’ light witfiiiuT any question. The hlood colored even her ears as she rememliej'e ' how ((sear hectored his wife for the money it was so "hard.for Evelyn' io- get. Another tiling , she had come to understand .was that, if Oscar laid hot, been afraid of the powerful Rohei'ts> !t family, fie “would lipve forced "EvelyS into liis home long before \liis. It had been a hard two yenty task to " kecji him quiet. ~ ‘ - "Melihe you nre get tin' sick, Oscar,” siu- ini jo] jj i iiinn't liim ■ •'mTldiV.' I,nt you know.what that old Miss "Hubertsiiii would do to you an' her girl if you told. You’d get Erie, roebbe-, loit you-sure wouldn't get any more money." Tin- man's face darkened. “That’s just the rub," he conceded. ..."!%ut- nt that Eve ain't" pta.Vtng square ■ wish me. The Robertsons have money to burn, and she deals it out to me In antalUßtie dollars. i tell TOu Put sick -of the whole thing.”
Polly noted the glitter In Bennett s angry eyes and felt again the quiver of fear. “She gives you ail she gets her fingers on," she came hack at him In defense of the absent Evelyn. "Lots of times she’s got along on about nothin' to send you cash, an' didn’t I come runnin' tip here with It as soon as she give It to me? Now her mu's get tin-' on that Eve ain't spbndin' her money on herself, an’ she watches 'or like a hawk does a chicken-. She told me that only yesterday." ■ The squatter girl rose to her feet, anxious to be gone. “Oscar, you might he lettin’ me have Just a wee bit of milk. You ain’t losin’ nothin’ through me.” She picked up the pall, and with a growl the man snatched it out of her hand. "Women’re a d—d nuisance," he grumbled. “Well, wait here.” He went out of the room, and Polly Hopkins drew a long breath. It was getting harder every day to get the milk she needed. When Bennett returned, site was standing with her hand on the door knob, ready to go. In silence she took the pail he offered her. “Looka here. I’ollyop,'’ he began abruptly, as Pollv opened the door. “ Whuffs to hinder your paying for your milk yourself?" - He said ft'with extreme deliberation, making emphatic the last words. Polly threw up her head and eyed him sharply. “I run my legs most off for you as 'tls, Oscar.” she retorted, "between here and the Robertsons’; hut I don’t-never have no money. Y'ou know that, an' Daddy liopkins don't get much, either. If 1 tiad a dollar, I bet I’d spend every penny of it fillin’ up Jerry an' Daddy an’ Granny Hope with milk an’ eggs.” To make him understand how anxious she was to please hint, she went forward a pace. “An’ I'd buy 'em all of you, Oscar. That's as true as Granny Hope's God is settin’ up in the sky.” "I didn’t ask you for money," answered Bennett, staring-at. her. Suddenly he came close to her: and Polly backed to the door. His face was red amT agitiiteii; the cords in his neck were swollen while, his fingers twisted eagerly. Ttiat'was another thing about which Polly’s eyes had been opened in two . years of growing womanhood, When a man looked as Oscar did now, a girl got away as fast ns she. could. “Y'ou might pay me in kisses.’’ he rnuttefTd hoarsely, towering over her, “Ten kisses for eofh. bucket.* You're a heap prettier than Eve." For a long moment Polly did' not speak. Her breast heaved as she swayed backward. "I get. ail the kisses. T Want to home." she said: —c*‘llere, take your hand off'll me, Oscar, or I’ll tell- Eve.

turnen nac* into the house. For the moment lie paused in the kitchen; lie could hear his old mother pottering about overhead In ills bedroom. She was doing the work his wife ought to do! What a fool he had been to marry Evelyn Robertson! Instead of the fortune Tie had expected, he was tied hand and foot without money or woman. Hi 1 thought of the radiutlt squatter- girl who had just left him. Two years ago womanhood had not dawned upon Polly Hopkins, hut today— He undertonod an oath and went out to the liarti. Polly Hopkins ran down the lane as fast as her legs could carry her. The milk was sitfe in the bucket, and she had scarcely reached the railroad tracks before she had decided ot to mention Oscar’s vicious demand upon her. If she told Daddy Hopkins, he would do some harm to Bennett, and there would be no more eggs and milk for Granny and Jerry. If she spoke \ of it to Evelyn, there was no telling what the girl would do. The tangle-haired squatter girl was The daughter of Jerenihih HopkTns, the mayor of the Silent City, the leader of all those who lived In the rows of huts that ran along the Lehigh Valley tracks and on down the lakeside. Uncouth and Ignorant were Jeremiah and his kind, and visitors who came to the little city.of Ithaca agreed with the town’s Inhabitants that It was a shame the law allowed such a blot as the Silent City upon the natural beauty of Cayuga and itsf majes-e tic surroundings. Pollyop stood shivering, her troubled gaze searching the lake for a boat. Daddy Hopkins had gone away early with Wee Jerry,-and she always worried a little when they ware out. Y'et she knew that the only way to get the bread, beans and bacon for the family was for Daddy Hopkins to defy the law and drng_his nets whenever the game wardens were not about. Without the lake and its hidden food, it would be a desolate world indeed; - - ' —kr
Wee Jerry was Polly’s five-year-old brother, and long before he could walk, he had chosen liis father's big shoulders upon which to -heat his way through an unfriendly and often hungry world. But this same world which had wizened Jerry had given to Polly*, a wild beauty, a body strong and as pliant as a marsh reed: With a sigh Pollyop turned to the house. The door was shut against the .storm, and a thin curl of smoke twisted upward from the toppling chimney, losing itself -In" the baby leaves of. the willows. The little lines [ that had traced the troubled brow | vanished at the *right of a stab vis wood over the'door: On it was paint „ed in crude letters: “If-your heart.ls„j lovmg-nnd kind come right In. If it ain't, scoot off." Pollyop and Granny I Hope had worked a long time to make this -sign, and even longer- **e nnii it up. “If’ll help the Silent City folks. Granny." stie had said. “’Specially, if I smile a lot at 'em.” She flung open the door and went In,, closing It behind her. In one corner r.f the kitchen, an old woman, sa old that no squatter could remember her other 'than aged, sat near the . stove... About her . shoulders was •a J shawl, and its edges were held together -with ohm-like- fingers. Munching on a hit of hay at the wood-box was a lean goat, an old friend of Polly Hopkins. Long ago she had found him, lost in tfie wilderness of the Storm country, and lmd brought Iftm to the Silent City. The shanty consisted of three rooms. Back of-the kitchen Daddy Hopkins slept, and -In the miserable coop-hole where Polly had once stored rubbish Granny Hope sti-ct, hd out her -weary hones at night.

1. The Shunammite’a Hospitality to Elisha (vv. 8-11). 1. Its occasion (v. 8). A wealthy .woman of Sliunem, observing that Klislia passed continually by her house in his Journeys, was moved with compassion toward him. She determined according to her ability to supply his needs. 2. Its nature (vv. 8-11). "She constrained him" to eat bread" (vv. 8,S). Asa result of lifr earnest entreaty, ns often ns he passed by her house he turned in to eat bread. She received a prophet in the name of a prophet. 11. Elisha Endeavors to Repay Her Kindness (vv. 12-17). 1-. He offers to ask a favor from the king or head of the army (v. 13). This offer implies that Elisha had influence at the royal court. The woman's reply shows her truly to tie a great woman. She did not desire to change the calm and quiet of tier home for a plqce even in the royal court. Her answer also shows that her motive in extending generosity to the prophet was entirely, unselfish, purely because he w : as God's prophet, w 2. Elisha announces the giving of a son to her (vv. 16, 17), Through Inquiry of Gehazi it was discovered that this w.oraan was childless. So the prophet made known to her that in about a year from that time she ! should experience the joy of a mother. 111. The Coming of Sorrow to the ShurTammite’s Home (vv. 18-21). The child which brought joy to her home Was suddenly taken away. ; liow many homes are like tills I Scarrei ly. do we begin to enjoy .life until i death enters und siiutches aivay some loved one.
