Y., Oscar Bennett's farm spread Ita acrea along'the (ace of West Hill between the Lehigh Valley tracks and -the highway leading to Trumansburg. Oacar Bennett waa what the country people snd even the Ithaca folks called a fine fanner. His farmhouse faced a lane that led to the west shore of Lake Cayuga, and from the front porch he could see. much to his dislike, the few straggling squatter shacks that brought to an end northward the Silent City. Like all other substantial oltlsena, Oacar defeated the squatters. In his estimation they were a set ot thieving loafers and sneaks^ and many time's her had wished' that he owned the ground they squatted In Instead of Marcus MacKenste. Of course it was' no secret that MacKensie never let an opportunity slip to pop s fisherman into Jail, bet In Bennett'* opinion thnt treatment waa not severe enough, and besides, it did not accomplish anything. Mac- Kenzle'a Idea w%s to jail the men whenever the chance came and for a period aa long aa the law would allow. But what good did that do? Fierce hatred flamed in the haggard faces of the women, and they held to their squatter rights With the tenacity of leeches until their husbands were given back to them. Bennett would, have done away with the wives and mothers if the job of breaking up the Silent City had been hia. No man would hang to a hut long without a woman in tt. One morning in the early spring Oscar was finishing bis breakfast when the door opened slowly. A girl with a small tin pail in her hand stepped Into the room. She smiled at him almost humbly. "Shut the door I" he shouted st her. "Where's your manners, Polly Hop kins- . Can't you see Ihe rain's coming in after you?" The smile faded from the girl's face. Mechanically she turned, closed the oor, and, uninvited, seated herself in a chair and placed tbe pail at her side. "So you've come begging, Pollyop," .vent on tbe farmer, wiping his lips >n the sleeve of his gingham shirt. Well, you might as well turn tall and run home again, for you're not oing to get anything more from me. I don't want a poacher's brat around here." The girl's bare wet feet drew tense- v backward under the chair; but she remained discreetly silent. Oscar al ways abused her and called her names, but that was because she was a squatter. After a while, he'd change his mind, and then she would take home what she came for. She noted with a quick breath that Oscar's eyes soft- uned during the time he was silent. That boded well fcjr her errand; but Bennett's mind was not on milk or any of those suffering tor 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 given to the wide eyes their shade of ripe chestnuts. Polly expected every moment that Oscar would reach out for the pall, and. though with bad grace, he'd give her the milk Just- the same. She fidgeted in ber 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 Hookies wss so pretty, Oacar vondered, and a slow sml'e parted his lips. Polly's eyes lowered, and the 'ong dark lashes only added to Bennett's sudden admiration. A qui,ck- rawn breath slipped audibly past the nun's tee'.h. 'Pollyop sensed In his at- Itude toward her a new quality that he recognized intuitively as danger- us. To bring h s attention back to L. Neumeister, rf. 7 6 T.

The blood colored even her ears as she remembered how Oscar hectored his wife for the mfiney It wus so hard for Evelyn to get. Another thing she had come to understand was that, if Oscar had not lu-.-ii afraid of the powerful Robertson family, he would have forced :o purpose of her visit, she ventured j Hvelyn Into his home long before this. o say: It hud been a hard two years' task to "I thought it wouMu't hurt you I keep him quiet. none, Oscar, to gimme u little milk for Oranny Hope an' JsYry. I'm alwuys runnln' errands for you un' your woman." "Mebbe you are gettln' sick, Oscar," she interposed. "I don't know — mebbe; but you know what that old .Miss Robertson would do to you an' Bennett's heavy farm boots made a her girl If you told. You'd get Eve, scraping sound under the table. "What good does that do me?" he returned. "Upon my soul, I might as well be without a wife us to have one who won't live with me or let anyone know I'm her husband. I'm gettln' sick, good and plenty sick, I can tell you. Miss Polly Hopkins." This speech did not disturb Pol'y over much, for he'd made It a dozen Limes beifore. It was only tbe expression in his guze, sbe did not quite ike. Her mind went to Evelyn Robertson, the girl that Oscar had married. As If It were but yesterday, she remembered how two years ago ahe had gone with them under protest to a minister far back lu the hills. Evelyn had explained that for some time to come no one' but the three must know of the marriage. Pollyop bad learned a great many things in two years! What girl does not after she's passed ber fifteenth birthday? One of the things she had found out wus tll"t Oscar was a dreadful person, more dreadful than moat of the squatter men. Of course tbe men folks of her people did beat their mebbe. but you sure wouldn't get uny more money." The'man's face darkened. "That's just.the rub," he conceded, "but at that Evo ain't playing square with inc. The Robertsons have money to burn, and she deals It out to me in sma'i little dollars. I tell you I'm sick ot the whole thing." Polly noted tbe glitter In Bennett's angry eyes -and felt again the quiver of fear. "Sbe gives you all she gets her fingers on," she came back at him In defense ot the absent Evelyn. "Lots of times she's got along on about nothin' to send you cash, an' didn't I come luiiiiiuauip here with it as soon aa ahe give it to me? Now her ma's gettln' on that Eve ain't spendin' her money on herself, an' she watches 'er like a hawk does a chicken. She told me that only yesterday." The squatter girl rose to her feet, anxioa to be gone. "Oscar, you might be lettin' me have Just a wee bit of milk. You alu't losln' nothin' through me." She picked up the pail, and with a growl the man snatched it out ot her hand. "Womon're a d—d nuisance," he grumbled. "Well, wait here." Ho 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, she was standing with her hand on the door knob, ready to go. In silence sbe took the pail he offered her. "Looka here, Pollyop," he began abruptly, as Polly opened the door. "What's to hinder your paying for your milk yourself?" He suld it with extreme deliberation, making emphatic the lust words. Polly threw up her bead and eyed him sharply. "I run my legs moBt off for you as 'tis, Oscar," she retorted, between hero and tho Robertsons'; but I don't never have no money. You know that, an' Daddy Hopkins don't bet much, either. If I bad a dollar, I bet I'd spend every penny of It flllln' up Jerry an' Daddy an' Granny Hope with milk an' eggs." To make him understand how anxious she was to please him, she went forward a pace. "An' I'd buy 'em all of you, Oscar. That's as true as Granny Hope's God Is settln' up lu the sky." "I dldn'l ask you tor money," an Bwered Bennett, staring at her. Suddenly he came close to her; and Polly backed to the door. His face was red and agitated; tbe cordy In his neck were swollen while his fingers twisted eagerly. That 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 aa she could. "You might pay me in kisses," he muttered hoarsely, towering over her. "Ton kisses for each bucket. You're n heap prettier than Eve." For a long moment Polly did not speak. Her breast heaved as she swayed backward. "I get all tbe kisses I want to home," she said. "Here, take your hand off'n me, Oscar, or I'll tell Eve the first time I get sight of her." She glared up at him like a cornered animal. "I said I'd tell Eve. I'll do more than that! I'll put old woman Robertson next to your coppin' her kid an' murryin' her." Oscar's fingers relaxed, and his hand dropped away from ber arm as" a rough laugh left bis lips. Sbe looked so lovely, her eyes blazing, her curls tumbled In confusion ou ber shoulders, .hat he would have taken his pay tor the milk without her permission if she had not thrown at him a threat he feared she would carry out. "Men's kisses are what you'll get, my pretty lass," he predicted grimly, ' and if I was finished with Eve, by Uod, I'd set about getting my share. I won't always be married to my lady Robertson, mind you, Pollyop." 'I'll.' blood had left his face. He was quite white aud stern, and by thla time Polly was on the porch. " Talu't so easy to get unmarried as 'tis to get married," she told him. "An' me! I'm just Daddy Hopkins' brat, an' I don't want any klsaes but his'n I'd let Jerry's tongue go twist for milk before I'd pay for It with— with—" Oscar sprung at her. She waa so tautalizingly beautiful, ao alluring even in her grotesque attire that for the moment he forgot he had reason to fear her. (Continued on Page 8) H. %M>^M: m '■ -'"wv. .*:2*4i

den und Laundon.
The matter ot appointing a stre '

time ago the village clerk was instructed to receive bida for the appointment
of street commissioner, and after several bids were received, It waa de-
•Mrted that the council would appoint
the one moat experienced in that line
ot work, also taking Into consideration
the lowest bidder. After aome discussion by the council It was voted to
make an offer to Street Commissioner
Brucker, although they had received

er's. After some discussion at last

pointed for another term of two years.
The council had a letter from the
New York Cenrtal Railroad company.
In which they stated that they had
paid a claim In the death of Ralph
Green, a painter in tha employ of the
rar.road company,who died a few hours
after being taken to tbe local hospital

when suddenly he fell to the ground,
fracturing his skull. The railroad
company claimed that Green came in
contact with live electric wires running under the bridge and was electrocuted. At tbe time ot his death an
examination of the body was held, the
physicians failing to find any burns
from electricity.
The plans of the Milan avenue paving .were dlacnssed to a great extent,
there being several changes suggested. The proposed plans were taken
by the council to be the proper plana
but have not been finally accepted until several changes are made. A
petition protesting the paving of Milan avenue waa prasentad to the council which showed a Hat of names of
.. owners of over 8,000 feet of property
' on that street. Some of the names,
however, wore ^tha same as those on
the original petlUon to pave the atreet.
