Her eyes lay on the hall that rose with a gentle slope beyond the yard, the barns and stable, and a score of low -built brushwood sheds. Mists were beginning to gather' among the trees that fringed the top on either side. Davey had gone up among those trees. The sound of her name called faint- ly again disturbed her. She looked down towards the road that wound uphill out of the forest. It was wraith- like in the twilight, the longwhite gate that barred it from the paddock about the house, growing . dim.

Mrs. Ross and Jessie were in it, and there was a man's figure beside their's —only one though. The horse, moving at her slow, steady jog -trot, drew nearer. Deirdre saw clearly the man who was driving. It was Davey. The Schoolmaster was not with him. A panic seized her. She flew out to the road, the horse stopped auto- matically. "Where's father?" she cried. Davey stared at her. Ile scarcely that we—' She laughed, a strange, cracking little laugh. "Deirdre!" He was perplexed and hurt. "Don't come near me 1" She turned away from him and ran into the house under the swinging sign of the black bull with red -rimmed eyes. Davey attempted to follow her. He saw McNab in the doorway. "What the hell's she doing there?" 1 he muttered. IMrs. Ross and Jessie eyed each other anxiously. They did not speak for a minute. Then the elder woman said nervously, uncertainly: "P'raps . . p'raps she came down with Steve to meet. the Schoolmaster. But we'd better be going on, Davey. Don't risk any trouble with Thad Mc - Nab to -day. Your mother's waiting eagerly for you. You're her only thought now. All she has got." Davey climbed into the buggy again. His face was sombre. He did not got over the shock of his father's death and Deirdre's manner wounded and bewildered him. He thought that she was distraught with agony and disappointment on the Schoolmaster's account.. He had imagined how ten- derly he would tell he what had hap- pened,and comfort her. Now to find her athe Black Bull, not at Steve's, where he had thought she would be, -- - and Mrs. Ross and Jessie beside him, when he wanted to fold her in his arms and assure her that he would never rest until Dan was with them again! He swore at every iolt and jar on the road to relieve his impa- tience. It was Mrs. Ross who said to Mary Cameron, taking her aside when mother and son had met, and Davey was turning Bess into the paddock again: "it's true what we heard about Deirdre Farrel going to marry Mc - Nab. She was married to him this morning. You'd better break the news 1 to Davey. He doesn't know yet. I dursn't tell him for fear he'd go to McNab. I wanted to bring him safe j to you. Jessie and I'll go home now. — No doubt you'll like to have the house to yourself, but if you want anything, or there's anything we can do for " you— always glad to do anything for you, Mrs. Cameron, dear," Jessie said softly, "It's a queer, heartless girl Deirdre is, to play fast and loose with the love of a fine fellow like Davey," Mrs. Ross said, when Jess was outside setting their bundles and baskets into the cart. ' "Oh, she wouldn't do that—Deir- dre," Mrs. Cameron replied. "It's something dreadful that's driven her to it." "Yes—I suppose it is," Mrs. Ross sighed. "Poor child. Perhaps I'm spitefulabout it, Mary. But maybe now that she is out of the way, Davey may think of my Jessie again." Davey's mother smiled sadly. "I'd be, sorry for any woman he married but Deirdre, for she has the whole of him—heart and soul," she said. ' aiOh well, it's it pity!" Mrs. Ross kissed her good-bye. "Jess had` better make up her mind to have Buddy Morrison, then, and that's what I've been telling her this long time.. He's a good lad, very fond of her, and been wanting to marry her for the last five years." When Jess and her mother 'had gone, driving of in their high, jolting buggy, Davey and firs.

Mrs. Cameron recognized a tragic urgency in her face. `Come in, you're exhausted. You don't , mean to say you've walked from the Wirre&'. She took her hand and led her into the kitchen. The fire was sending long ruddy beams of light over the bricked floor, glimmering on the rows of polished metal covers on the 'walls, and the crockery on the wooden%dress- er at the, far end of the room.

Pare and cut into quarters or eighths (according to the size) sour apples that will cook easily. Se- lect a pie plate hiving a rim, and cover with pastry which is not too rich.
