CHAPTER XVII.—(Cont'd.)
Deirdre was breathless with run-
ning across the paddocks to reach the
turn in the road, The wind had blown
her dark hair into little tendrils about
her face, and.there was a sparkleof
anger in her eyes,
"I heard what you said to fat'her,"
she went on, "and if you haven't an
thing: better to say to me, I'la
back"
Davey gazed at her. He gazed
though he had never seen her befo
She seemed another creature, nothi
like the ragged little urchin' who h
climbed trees with him and ridden
school straddle -:legged behind him
nothing like the sedate housewife
mother had made of her, either.
Deirdre stared at" him, too,
though he were quite different from
the Davey she had known. A shy
smile quivered' on her lips. She pluck-
ed nervously at trails of the scarlet -
runners which overhung the bank, a
put the end of a runner between h
teeth and chewed the stalk.
Davey saw that her lips were
scarlet as the flowers that, li
broken -winged butterflies, hung
the end of the trail.
He slid off his horse and stood fa
ing her. His limbs were tremblin'
"What's the matter?" she asked,
little distress creeping into her vale
Davey's farce was tense and colo
less.
To o the trouble which
had surpris
him that day, a strange soft thrill w
added when she put the runner stalk

flowers between len h

"Who says -'so?'
"She does." Deirdre laughed. "She
says she's the only girl ,,you've ever
kissed. And her mother gays--"

his The bright shy glance that,llew to-
wards him, and the quiver of her lips,
as fired the boy.
His arms went out to her. He
caught her shoulder and held her to
him. For an instant he did not know
whether it was night or day. But
nd when he withdrew from that moment
er of unconsciousness, wild, uncontrol-
lable joy and possession, his eyes were
as humid. And. her' eyes ''beneath his
ke were like pools in the forest which
at the fallen -leaf mould has darkened

a "Deirdre," he whispered, as if he
e• had never before said her name, and
r- to say it were like singing in church.
He kiesed' her again, g slowly and
ed tenderly; the first pressure of her lips
was
eeth, It struck him with a strang
pang that Deirdre was ,beautiful, tha lips were the, same color as th
flowers hanging near them.
It was all -translated, this' emotion
of his, in the shamed, shy smile that
canoe into his' face as he stared at her.
Deirdre
understood well w 1 ens.
She scrambled down the bank and
wentm.
You arses '
sorry we're going, aren' Davey?" she asked.

speak.

After. a few moments, as he said
nothing, she spoke again.
"It'll be all changed, I suppose,

said. "We will come back, by and by,
sometime, you know, father says.
We'll come to see Steve, perhaps. But
we'll be grown up . . . quite, you and

"You're my seveetheart, aren't you,
Deirdre?" . he said exultingly, holding
0 ' her in his arms and. gazing down at
at i her. "When you come back we'$ be

"Yes," Deirdre whispered.
Mer eyes reflected the glow of her'
heart.

Davey had wakened.
"I' was saying-, we'll be grown-up
and married, perhaps by the time we
see each other again," Deirdre
mur-
mured. "None of the times'll come
again like the ones when we went
home on Lass, or in the spring -cart,
or walked, and chased wallies and
went after bids' nests. I wish the
could! I wish I could be just ten when

CHAPTER XVIII.
In the earliest days of Port -South-
ers, settlers tracking inland or further
along the coast, had to cross the Wir-
ree, driving their cattle and horses
before them. The shallows of the
river where they crossed began to be
called: the Wirree Ford'. The tracks
converged there, and it was not long
before a shanty appeared on the, left
bank a few hundred yards from the
broad and slowly -moving river,
The Wirree came' down from th
hills and flowed .across the plains at
the foot of ,the ranges. The whole of
