"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?"
he muttered.
Mrs. 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

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
andbewildered 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

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 jolt 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
to Davey. He doesn't know yet. I
dursn't tell hien for fear he'd go to

"We're` 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—1 suppose it is," Mrs. Ross
sighed. "Poor child. Perhaps I'm
spiteful about it, Mary. But maybe

Davoy's' mother smiled' sadly.
"I'd be sorry for any woman he

said.

kissed her good-bye. "Jess had 'better

When Jess and her mother had gone,

indoors together.

expression; somethingof power and

She was wondering how she could
tell him, eove'ring him with tender:,'
pitiful glances, and praying that he
would not leave her, that no hurt
might come to " hen, when he asked
suddenly;
"Have you seen anything of Deir-
dre; mother?"
He had, been moving restlessly
about the room, lifting things; from
their place on the mantelpiece and
putting them back again.
She called him • td her and, putting
her hands on his head, told him what
Mrs. Ross had said.
Davey's face hardened and whiteneL
ed slowly. He put her halide ` away
from him and wheeled unsteadily from,
the room. She ` heard him go across
the yard, and saw him'; stumbling up
the narrow track to the trees on the
far side of the hill.
CHAPTER KLVII.
Mrs. Cameron. was ' feeding her
chickens when she thought she heard:'
someonecalling. She listened, and
decided that it was only a whispering
of wind in the trees that had caught
her ear,
The mild light of the evening linger-
ed about her. Her eyes lay on the hill
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 towardsthe road that wound
uphill out of the forest. It was wraith-
like in the twilight, the long white
gate that barred it from the paddock
about the house, growing dim. The
gum saplings of two or three years'
growth, with their powdery -grey
leaves pressing on the far side of the
fence behind the barn, shivered as
the surface of still water shivers When
something stirs beneath it. Her eyes"
were directed towards the centre of
the almost imperceptible movement..
Someone called her, 'faintly, whis-
peringly.
Going towards the fence, she saw
a wan face and wide eyes among the
leaves. The lines of a long, dark dress
went off into the shadows among the.
trees.
"Deirdre," she cried.
The girl came towards her. Her
dress was draggled and torn. There
was a red line on her cheek where a
broken "branch, had caught and
scratched it.
"Where's Davey?" she asked.
"Deirdre, what has happened?"
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 Wirree."
She took her hand and Ied her into
the kitchen. The fire was sending
long ruddy beams of light over the
bricked floor, glimmering on the rows
;if polished metal covers on 'the walls,
and the crockery on the wooden dress-
er at the far end of the room. It was
very homely and peaceful, Mrs. Cam-
eron's kitchen. She pushed Deirdre
gently into the big armchair by the
fire.
'' Sit there, dearie, till I get yon 'a
hot drink," she said
Deirdre sat very still, gazing before
"It's this marriage with McNab is
too much for < her," `Mrs. Cameron
thought.
"Oh, child, why did you do , it?
What could have driven you to ft?"
she asked.
The shadow of a slow and subtle
smile crept for'a moment about Deir-
dre's lips and vanished again.
"If only you'd have told me your
trouble," Mrs. Cameron cried. "I
might have been able to help you."
"Oh no, you wouldn't," Deirdre, said.

A study of the great collection of

led to the interesting conclusion that
meteoritic iron, as it falls from the
sky, and the various steels produced in
our modern steel works are the re-
sults of essentially similar chemical
and phyiscal action. One of the most
striking characteristics noted in me-
teoritic iron is the presence of a con-
