brings Will back to the Valley, but ]
he returns to Augusta, still uncon- ,
setous of Jenny's womanhood, and ;
love. Neighbors of the Pierces are ! 1
Bart and Amy Carey, brother and
alitor. Bart, unmarried and somo- i
thing of a ne'er-do-well. Is attracted \ ]
by Jenny, but the girl repulses him |
definitely. Learning that Will Is com- i

long-empty house "to righta" and ,
has dinner ready for him. He comes '

girl's wcrld collapses. j (

peroelvlng Jenny's secret, merciless- ,
ly mocks her discomfiture. Huldy j
soon becomes the subject of unfa- j (
vorable gossip In the Valley, though .
Will apparently Is blind to the fact. |
But as he did so, "Will Ferrln i t
came suddenly out from behind one i
wideflung door, and leaped on the 1 1
truck's running board, by Seth's t
very elbow. His countenance was j
affrighting. Seth's foot missed the i
brake, pressed the throttle Instead;
then he found the brake and a
Jammed It down. The truck leaped s
ahead, tried to stop, skidded side- a
wise; the right rear wheel broke s
partly through one wall, the front
- - - ' ?a_ !
mudguard Durst into tne opposite i j
wall.
And Will, In silent, deadly pur- 1 y
pose, caught Seth's throat with both ^
hands to drag him to the ground.
Seth's hand found the ready pistol;
he thumbed the hammer back. '
As the weapon came into his sight, *
Will released Seth's thtoat with his v
left hand and grabbed at Seth's s
wrist that held the gun. The two n
men were falling together as the
pistol exploded. Will felt the heavy
ball plow into his leg below the
knee, crashing through the bone 11
with a shocking impact
But he did not loose tne grip he Cl
had.
The mill was sixty or seventy c
yards away, and the saw, at the p
moment of the shot, was whining s
through a log; but Luke Hills was S
beyond the mill, by the brook, and
his ears were clear of the saw's j tl
close proximity. He heard the shot, j "
and came lumbering up the bank, ' S
shouting the alarm to the others.
The men came to the shed door, P
and saw Will and Seth down In a I tl
locked grip, and Will's leg was j
hideous. But the muzzle of a heavy i tl
pistol pointed toward them from 1 e
the ground, wavering in the tight j *
grip of two opposing hands, and a
this was enough to deter the bold- j
est for a moment They dodged h
aside, peering cautiously; and by b
the lime they found courage to 1
draw near, Seth was dead. i 0
But Will, despite his wound, was S1
alive; and Luke knotted a bit of tl

u
rope around Will's leg, and twisted n
It with a stick. There was a bab- t)
ble of commands and advice and ^
argument For Seth, clearly, there n
was nothing to be done. s,
"But we got to get help for Will, a
here, mighty quick," Luke pointed ti
out
One of the other men remembered r
Marm Pierce. Two boards secured h
together by crosspleces served as g
a rude litter. They set out to carry p
Will through the woods to the old d
woman's house. s
It was thus that Jenny saw Will t
again, his face drained white, his E
eyes closed, his leg below the knot- (
ted rope a shattered thing. She
saw the men approaching with their j
burden, and she and Marm Pierce j
came out on the kitchen porch, and
the old woman cried urgently: ]
"Somebody's hurt bad i Jenny, 1
get the cloth off the dining room S
table. Put a couple leaves In, and 1
a blanket on It, so's they can lay <
him there." 1
; Jenny would have run desperate-1 i
ly to meet them, but the old woman t
held her from that futility. So <
when Luke and the others arrived, i
i
the table was prepared, and Marm o
Pierce met them at the door. e
"Fetch him in," she commanded, t
Who Is it? Will Ferrin?" t
"His leg's shot off," said Luke b
Hills hoarsely. "Seth shot him; s
would hare killed him, like as not
But Will held on till he choked the t
life out of Seth." f
"Don't stand there talking!" the u
>ld woman scolded. "Lay him on g
ie table here, easy. One of you go o
>ver to Bart Carey's house and tel?phone
for a doctor." d
"We 'lowed you could ..." r
"Get a doctor, I told you! Jab- y
>erlng like a pack of crows! Lay n
llm down. Now get out of here, the I y
ot of you. Jenny and me, well ! D
end to him. One of you go tele-1 n
>hone, and the rest of you stay n
landy, case I need you." tl
A man departed at a clumsy run, h
md Marm Pierce, standing by Will, j E
litting away his overalls, tugging V
it his heavy shoe, asked over her. E
houlder: "Where's Seth?" ! g
"He's dead. No help for him," tl
,uke Hills told her.
"Well, go stay with him, one of ?
ou," she directed. "Get along." tl
ind to Jenny: "Shut the door!" j tl
So Jenny and Marm Pierce wei e
eft to tend the hurt man, and tl
larm Pierce as she bared the k
round made little rueful whistling h
ounds between her teeth, and Jen-j h

"Get water boiling, Jenny," Marm;
'ierce directed. "The doctor'll want jr
iat, certain. And fetch some wa- jn
jr here till I clean his leg all I 0|
an." h
Jenny turned to the kitchen, r(
bunked the Are, pumped water, j,(
ut the kettle on the stove; then tj
he came back to the dining room. 8t
he had not spoken.
Will's eyelids wavered, opened, ^
len closed again. He said weakly: j,
My team's tied, up on?ridge road. g(
omebod.v fetch 'em home." a.
"You hush up. Will," Marm
ierce told him. "You'll need all lr
he strength you've got"
She loosed the tourniquet a little, ^
II blood flowed again, then tightned
it once more. She saw Jenny's
earful doubts of this procedure,
nd said: j
"I dunno, Jenny. Seems like I've
eard tell you've got to let some

ff, though. No bone left, only

Jenny nodded dumbly.
"All we can do Is keep him quiet lc
11 the doctor comes," Mwm Pierce ^
But Huldy needed no more sleep j
an a cat. Sometimes Will, drows-1
g in his chair after supper, waked bl
find her watching him with a 8t!
squieting eye; and more than once W
i summer nights she had roused; k*
m, shaking him by the Shoulder, j
hot fury in her tones, demanding av
at he prove himself something j
ore than a dormouse of a man. i s"
So when the time did come, he sb
as prepared for comprehension.; ot
here had been many visitors at thg !,01
rm that summer. Will at first dis- j jWl
wered in these visits no more than j
e natural curiosity of his neigh-,f1
>rs to see this bride of whom' ?
i was so proud. Bart Carey came,
id old Win Haven not infrequent-1
; and then Seth Humphreys, whom j w'
'ill?and Huldy?had known in [
ugusta, brought his steam mill to' j
le Valley. Also others who had j s'
aown Huldy in Augusta came to | b(
>dge at Bart's and fish the brook 'y
alow, although they had never jn<
)me before. | re
Will, when he wooed Huldy, knew 1
er popularity; yet he was contin- |"
ally being reminded of it now. He jla

niiaiiLj, uuu ud ois arrival, tne
tranger and Huldy were apt to fall ^
llent, and the man presently to j
ike himself away.
On this day when Jenny saw Will 81
un toward Seth Humphreys' mill, ^
e had planned to go to Liberty to w
et some lumber for a piece of reiair
work on the barn; some stud- ^
ling, and a bundle of shingles. He
et out In the farm wagon, behind "
lis slow team. Huldy asked wheth- t
ir he would be home in time for '
Unner. Will thought not v
"Don't have me on your mind. I'll
>lck up a bite when I get back," d
le said. -1
He took the steep road up the v
>111; and a little above the house i V
>e met Seth Humphreys' big truck, g
5eth at the wheel, descending. Will j11
ifted a hand to the other man as t
hey passed by. Seth was hauling f
lis sawed lumber to North Frater- i
llty; but the easier road back to '
he mill would have brought him to <
;he Valley at Its foot, three or four I
nlles lower down. Will was mild- 1
THE STATE PORT PIL
' . I
y surprised that Seth should have j :
:ome this way. 11
Yet the matter stayed not lobg In j (
lis mind. He thought casually that
seth might mean to stop at Bart ,
Carey's. j
He was fifteen or twenty minutes j
'rom the house when the right rear |
vheel of his wagon dropped oft; i i
ind Will, alighting to investigate, j
ound that he had lost the nut ' |
vhich held the wheel in place. He |
valked back along the road, search- |
ng In the ditch and by the road- j
Ide for the lost nut; but the weeds \
vere tall In the ditch, and the nut
scaped his search. In the end, as
he quicker way, Will decided to
ut down through the woods to his
arm, where he could find a spare ,
int among the miscellaneous litter ,
f hardware which accumulateg in (
very farmer's shed; so he returned
o the wagon and let the horses off <
he road to let casual traffic pass
iy, and tied them there. Then he
et out to walk home. .
It was not far, in a straight line
hrough the woods. Five minutes i
ast walking brought him into his
pper field, with the house in plain
Ight below. He paid it no partlclar
heed at first, coming on rapilly
to do this errand; but as he .
rew nearer, he saw, stopped in the
oad in front of the house, Seth .
lumphreys' truck. Seth passing by,
lust have alighted for a word with
luldy. There was in this nothing
nusual, yet Will vaguely resented >
t, The inconvenience of the lost t
ut had faintly frayed his temper;
he sight of Seth's truck stopped
ere?Seth must have been with (
luldy for a long half hour?made j
nil's cheek hot, his pulse fretful. I ,
le went on toward the house more .
wiftiy: and across the barnyard to .
le kitchen door. j
The door was ciosea; ana tms c
as In some degree surprising, for ?
le day was warm. Will opened ^
le door and stepped In. j
Neither Huldy nor Seth was In f
le kitchen; and when Will saw the j,
Itchen empty, he stood rooted In
is tracks for an instant that may c
ave been longer. Then he called, j
arshly, his wife's name. There
as no reply. ,3
Beyond the kitchen lay the din- j s
ig room. Will crossed to the din- I h
ig room door. The bedroom opened j $
CE the dining room, in front of the t
ouse, toward the road. The bed- a
jom door was closed; but Will
eard movement there, and strode h
rnt way. His cheek was white as a
:one. ri
Before he could come to the door, b
owever, it opened, and Huldy con- v
onted him. She stood, smiling In- s
)lently, as though she were just t
wakened from deep sleep. II
He said hoarsely: ''What you do- o
>S ?"
"I laid down a spell," she told n
Im. f
"Where's Seth gone to?" he de- t
landed. a
"Seth?" Her tone was amused, "
erisive. s
"His truck's in the road outside." s
There was a window in the bed)om
on the side toward the road; k
lie turned to look out of this win- a
ow, but without moving. "i don't a
ie it," she retorted, maddeningly, ji
Will brushed past hqr, himself!
loked out. The truck In fact was 1;
one; but the screen which be- f
inged In the window lay on the j p
round outside, and It was broken I t
ame me for going on home. I'm j 1
111 a bride, and I'd like to have j
111 all to myself. I guess you J
low how that is!" |
And led Will, like a captive,
vay. u
When they were gone, Jenny was
lent, hurt without knowing how
e had been hurt, wounded with- ^
it being able to put her finger (j(
i the wound; but Marm Pierce
as not In the least mystified. w
"She's a hussy!" she exclaimed.
Vill's cut him off a bigger piece ^
an he can chew. She'll make him h
ince a pretty tune."
Jenny whirled toward the older ^
oman. "If she's not good to him, .
11 kill her!" she cried.
So Marm Pierce perceived the (<
rl's distress, and sought to ease t|
:r. "There, Jen," she said qulek"Don't
you mind! There's ^
>ught to do for Will now. You go .
:ad the Book of Proverbs! You'll
od a heap of wisdom there. 0
'ormwood will be his dish, soon or ^
te. Maybe If he'd read his Bible, ^
s'd have knowed better than to

"I'll . . Jenny whispered.
"No and you won't," the old worn- g
u interrupted stoutly. She shook r
er head. "Nought you can do but
'ould make It worse for Will, and
>r you, too, Jen. Stay away from ](
im. from the both of them. Let j
re burn, Jen. It will come to ashes .
y and by."
And Jenny was hushed and si;nced;
and the wise old woman *
rent to get the supper on.
Summer was upon them now, and j
luring the months that followed,
enny saw Will not at all. There |
ras a stir of new activity In the
'alley, which served In some deTee
as a distraction. In July, a '
aan named Seth Humphreys, from 8
lugusta, set up a steam mill not 8
ar below Marm Pierce's farm; and 1
iow and then some one of the men 1
vho worked there, with a minor ?.
rut or wound, came to ask Marm
'lerce to heal his hurt for him. She
lad a salve with virtues which were !
>ut they don't bring home any
rout They go off down the brook
>very day, and come back at night,
ind no fish to fry. And they never
lome before."
Her eyes were uneasy. "It's that
voman," she said. "I've heard 'em
alk about her. They knowed her
n Augusta; and Seth Humphreys, (
le did, too. One of 'em said the
ither night that's the only reason
>eth come and put a mill in here;
io's to be handy to her. He. was j
iot after her, to hear their tell, beore
Will come along and married
ler."
Marm Pierce said assentingly: i'l
:'d see the bind she was, first time |
laid eyes on her."
"Bart says she ain't more'n half
lecent to Will," Amy reported. "He
ays she's always taking a dig at
lim, and him too blind to see. Bart
ays he'd like to take a hoop-pole
n her, the way she treats Will. Him j
nd Will was always friendly."
The older woman nodded. "Will, j
ie'11 go along blind about so long
nd then he'll wake up." she prelicted.
"When he does, the fur's t
ound to fly. The Ferrins was al- s
rays slow to get mad. but it ain't
afe to face 'em when they got t
heir dander up. Man or woman, I
t ain't wise to make too big a fool s
f Will." t
"Bart says he acts like she was s
nade of gold and cream," Amy con- s
essed. "snes goi win wanting
iptoe around the house." She was
moment silent, shivered faintly.
The men act funny, after they've
een her," she said. "It scares me,
ome . . ."
Marm Pierce nodded grimly. "I
:now," she agreed. "Talking loud,
nd bragging and blowing, and then
-whispering. But yo're all right,
tmy, with Bart there."
Amy turned homeward presents'
; but Jenny did not return for a
urther while. When she did ap ear.
she gave no sign of what had
lappened; but she had learned,
hai afternoon, to understand Hully
through and through.
Leaving the house, she had set
at at random toward the deep 1
lade of the woods. She came to
le brook below Will's farm, and
ayed there by the stream a while,,
aning against a tree, her hands j
ehind her, her eyes shadowed,
jep in long thoughts of him; and
resently she crossed the stream
here bowlders gave a footing, j
bove her, a rocky precipice rose I
fty or sixty feet abruptly from the1'
ead of the grout pile that sloped I
own to the brook; but to one side j
lere was a path she knew, where 8
y a steep scramble she might come 8
? tho crpnHor slnnpu flhove. And
: occurred to her that, going cau- ,
lously, she might have some far I
Umpse of Will, busy In his fields,
'he thought drew her Irresistibly; c
be began to climb. *
She meant not to speak to Will
r show herself to him; yet to see
1m, even from far off, would be
applness.
The trail was steep and she was j
rarm and panting. At the top of
be rise, the path swung to the I
ight, where broken ledges served
Ike a flight of stairs, to debouch at 1
ast upon a smooth ledge like an
paulet on this shoulder of the hill. |
lelow the ledge there was a
tralght fall for sixty feet or more; 1
nd the ledge looked out across the i
iwer trees across the sweep of val- 1
ey. Jenny knew the spot of old, i
nd loved it, too. j
But when she came there today, I
luldy was before her. Jenny saw j
ler In a confused Impression of
taked flesh golden from the sun. 1
luldy lay at length on a mossy I
iank at the head of the ledge, where t
ow junipers served as a screen on I
he side toward the house; and she 1
nust have heard Jenny's panting I
tpproach, for as the girl appeared r
ihe half-covereo herself with a gar- i
nent caught up quickly. Yet did |
lot rise, but still lay there, looking
it Jenny with that smile the girl 1
'ound so disquieting. I
Jenny for a moment could not
ipeak; she stared at Huldy, and
OT, SOUTHPORT, NORTH
famous, and she could minister to
the lesser physical ailments which
sometimes attacked them.
When one of these men appeared,
Jenny stayed usually in the background;
but they were a harmless
lot, rough and strong and spending
their days in hard physical toil, yet
toward a woman gentle and shy.
Sometimes she saw one or two of
them slipping through the open land
between the house and the woods
toward the brook. A path from the
mill cut through the woods direct
to Carey's bridge.
"Going up to sample Bart Carey's
rum," Marm Pierce guessed with
i grim disapproval. "Jen, you keep
iway from them. Stay out of the
woods, down that way. None of
em to hurt you, less'n they was
irunk; but I never did believe in
putting idees Into a man's head,
fou stay away."
She had in fact some reasons for
roncern which she did not explain
:o Jen. People were apt to confide
n this wise old woman, and she
leard things Jenny did not bear,
imy Carey, Bart's sister, came one

yoman was alone; and Amy was
roubled.
"The mill crew, they're around

"And Bart, he's had a

that let on they come to fish;
ind Huldy returned to the little
louse in the Valley, Jenny did not
lee Will till October. Ordinarily,
ly the third week in October, the
ilders and the birch saplings are
tripped; the oaks and beeches are
osing their topmost leaves. But
his year the first deep frost was
'ollowed by no rain nor wind to
ear the bright leaves from their
enuous hold, till in the last week
>f October frost gripped the land
igain. It settled heavy in the Valey;
and when the sun rose, the
eaves were locked in an icy clasp,
leld in place by the very frost that
vas their destruction. Then as
he sun climbed higher and the day
varmed, the frost melted and at
irst by ones and twos dnd even by
lozens and by scores, the leaves
;ame down, falling silently, like a
jrlght rain of color through the
voods.
Jenny, at mid-morning, left the
louse and went past the barn tovard
the young second growth of
)lrch and beech at the meadow-side,
:o watch this silent falling rain of
jright leaves; and she was there,
fitting on the stone wall, warm in
:he sun, when she saw a movement
n the deeper shadows of the black
growth, some two hundred yards
iway. Saw a man running!

Stared all around, and Huldy said
In amused derision:
'There's nobody here only me!"
"Somebody might come along,"
Jenny protested, her cheek crimson
with shame for the other woman.
"You hadn't ought to lay there like
that. They'll see you!"
Huldy's dark eyes widened.
"What if they did?" she countered,
smiling.
And Jenny found no answer that
could be uttered calmly. Then
Huldy spoke again. "I guess yo're
looking for Will," she said mockingly.
"He's In the upper field."
Deep color stained Jenny's cheek
and brow, and drained away and
left her white and still. She shook
her head. "No," she said, huskily.
"No!"
"You're trailed around after htm
a-plenty," Huldy insisted, in complacent
scorn. "If you wanted him,
why didn't you get him, Jenny?"
Jenny had no weapons adequate
for this encounter; she could not
hope?or wish?to meet the other 1
woman on even terms. Yet there
lay in her that long devotion to
Will which was like a rock of
strength upon which she could
lean; anfl she found suddenly that
she knew many things she had not
guessed before.
"I'd not want what xeu want
from a man," she said steadily.
"Nor bait him the way you do."
Huldy's eyes narrowed in dry
anger. "Nor you wouldn't get him,
either," she retorted.
"But If I did, I'd know how to
keep him," Jenny countered. "And I
that's one thing you'll never know!" j
And she turned on her heel, so j
swiftly that she left Huldy in a sort i
of frenzy of rage. Jenny, dropping I
down the trail to the brook again,
heard the other's harsh, strangling
objurgations hideous in the sunned
beauty of the afternoon; till the
sweet brook song filled her ears,
drowning ugly sounds.
And from that day Jenny understood
Huldy, completely; and without
word from Marm Pierce, or
from Amy, or from any other at
all. Yet, she went no more to the
brook, or up the scrambling trail.'
Between her and Will there was a
barrier raised which she could
never seek to pass or set aside; and j
she accepted this fact, and found a i
way to cloak her grief and sorrow.
Only her heart brooded over Will
In an agony of longing to protect
dm from the hurt she knew must
ome day come.
