Deirdre .saw that Mrs. Cane hn'.s

climbed into the buggy again. She did
not speak, but drove silently away.
Deirdre had been rubbing Bess's

I thought Davey'd be coming in the

the dust,: to make Davey's father the

Davey ever go, in for this business?
Why are you in it? 'I thought that.

at her did not accuse.

"This is the concern of two ,nen, I
and another," he said. "Davey was
no more than a hired drover. Be-

"Where is Gorial?" Mrs Cameron
asked.
"Away."
His tone forabade further inquiry.
There was silence a moment.
"How does Mr. Cameron take it?"
"He's broken altogether."
"Would• he"—the Schoolmaster hesi-
tated—"would he consent to say that
Dacey was droving for him, There
were D.C. tows in the mob."
Mies. Cameron hesitated.
"I think he would de anything --
anything in the world to gettho boy
off," she said.
"I don't know that it wou>ad do .
whether it would work," the School-
master said a little wearily. "Prob-
ably Davey hassaid that he was put-
ting the mob through for his 'father.

would be a splendid opportunity to

done.... But if, for some. reason I
don't know of yet, it can't be worked,
there's another way."
"You mean you'll say you were re-

«Yes"
She uttered a little cry.
"11; was what 1 meant you to do,
but I cant. bear, to think of it," she
said.
She covered her face with her hands.
The Schoolmaster was thinking
deeply too; the iron of despair had
entered his Mqul;
"What will it 'mean?" she asked,
looking up at him.
" 'Three years hard labor on the

Pete M'Coll rode into the yard.. He

"Any news?" Deirdre asked.

Later the Schoolmaster called Steve
in. She heard Steve's voice raised
complainingly ,her father's, with set-
tled determination, against it. Icor
heart was sore. Why was he not tell-
ing her his plans as be was telling;
Steve?
She heard hili arranging to take
Pete with him to Melbourne.
"I'm going too, father," she cried,

The 4choolniaster drew her into his

In answer to many letters concern-

thing can be done to hasten the
change of color so that it will become
more uniform. Nature follows, her
own course and takes her own time. A
change of color might be prevented or
arrested by freedom from care and
worry, good heath or change of cli-
mate. There is a possibility that
