SYNOPSIS

. i
At a gratherlng In the vlllafre of Lib
erty, Maine, Jim Saladine listens to the
history of the neighboring Hostile Val
ley, and the mysterious, enticing “Hul-
dy," wife of Will Ferrln. Interested,
he drives to the Valley for a day's
Ashing, and to see the glamorous Huldy
Ferrln. "Old Marm” Pierce and her
nlneteen-year-old granddaughter Jenny
live In the Valley. Since childhood
Jenny has deeply loved young Will
Ferrln, older than she, and who re-
« gards her as still a child. Will leaves
to take employment In Augusta. His
father's death brings him back to the
Valley, but he returns to Augusta, still
anconsclous of Jenny’s womanhood and
love. Bart Carey, something of a ne'er-
do-well, Is attracted by Jenny. The
girl repulses him definitely. Learning
that VVill Is coming home, Jenny, ex
ulting, sets his long-empty house "to
rlghjs," and has dinner ready for him.
Htr comes—bringing his wife, Huldy.
The girl's world collapses. Huldy be-
fiomes the subject of unfavorable gos-
Hp In the Valley. .Entering his home
unlooked for, Will finds seemingly
damning evidence of his wife's unfaith
fulness as a man he knows Is Seth
Humphreys breaks from the house.
Will overtakes him and chokes him to
death, although Humphreys shatters
his leg with a bullet. At Marm Pierce's
house the leg Is amputated. Jenny goes
to break the news to Huldy. Huldy de
clares she has no usei for "half a man,”
end leaves. Will Is legally exonerated,
end with a home-made artificial leg
"carries on,” hiring a helper. Zeke
Dace. Months later Huldy comes back.
Will accepts her presence as her right.
Two years go by. Saladine comes to
the Valley. Bad roads cause him to
stop at Ferrln's farm, where he meets
Huldy. Saladine, caught In heavy rain,
takes/ refuge at Marm Pierce's. Bart
Carey arrives, carrying Huldy, whom
he claims had fallen from a ledge, and
seemingly Is dead. Marm Pierce de
clares her dead, but while Huldy and
Jenny are alone, the woman, with her
tast breath, asserts Will killed her.
Horrified, Jenny decides to tell no one
of the accusation. She goes to notify
Will. With him Jenny returns to Marm
Pierce's. She has told him of Huldy's
death, and he is bewildered. Zeke
Dace, cannot be found. Saladine In
forms Sheriff Sohier, by phooe, of Hul-
fly's death. The sheriff comes to Marm
Pierce’s farm. -
CHAPTER IX—Continued
•T 16 —
“Rained hard last nipjht.” Bart re
minded him. "They was fresh today.
I see them myself, when I fished
down.”
The sheriff asked: “Carey, you got
any Idea who'd want to—hurt Mis’
Ferrln?”
Bart hesitated. “I wouldn’t go rn
, say,” he said. He added, with a deep
reluctance: “Not unless It was Zeke.
Zeke Dace, works for Will. Zeke was
kind of crazy about her, and—Jealous
of her.” He might have got mad at
her." Yet he added honestly: "Bur
Will don’t ’low that Zeke would touch
her.”
“Where is Zeke?” the sheriff asfced.
Bart shook his head. “Dunno. No
body's seen him sence.”
Marm Fierce came out of the din
ing room. She told the sheriff she
was glad to have him here.
He nodded, and asked slowly: “Was
Mis’ Ferrln dead when she got here,
ma’am?”
“As good as,” the old woman as^
sured him. “She was all broke to
pieces, and bled white, and she died
before I got around to 1L”
“Didn’t come to?”
“No,” Marm Fierce told him. “No.”
^ “You look her over, did you?” the
sheriff urged. He explained.: -“I
guess likely I’ll want a doctor to see
her, but you might have noticed some
special hurt on her.”
The old woman told him: "Why,
•he was hurt cruel, Sheriff. Looked
Uke she’d fell on her head and side.
There was scratches and cuts all over
# her; and a deep bad cut on her neck.
And her face was hanged where she’d
hit a tree, or a rb'ck or the like.”
“I mean to say,” he persisted, “noth
ing to show. . .
The old woman shofck her head.
“Nothing that she couldn’t have got
from falling the way she did.”
The sheriff sighed* as though discour
aged, and Marm Fierce asked: “You
didn’t know Huldy, did you, Sheriff?''.
*Tve Upartf.rett of her, 41 rrc-answereft;
“Guess the whole county has, If ir
comes to that,” the old- wotfian as
sented. “But you can see for your
self, a lot of tilings might have hap-v
pened to a woman like her.”
“It was account of her,” Bart re
minded them, “that Will killed Seth
Humphreys. I dunno as I blame him.
I dunno as he went to kill Seth; but
Seth had a gun, and Will, with his leg
shot to pieces, he had to* hang on to
Beth’s--Beck or get another bullet In
him. But Iluljjf was back of thalL”
“I heard she’d left Will, sence,” the
Sheriff reflected.^
“She come b,ack" Bart explained.
„ ‘^ghe took a shtfre to Zeke and de
cided to stay.”
“Will take her back, did he?”
* “Dunno as. he could help It.’^Bart
confessed; and he said slowly: “WiP,\
be always stood a lot from her, Sheriff!
No matter what she did, I dunno as
he’d—harm, her.” He added harshly:
“But if he did, I wouldn’t blame him!”
The old woman’s sharp eyes fixed on
him. “You trying to let on that Will
killed her, Bart?” she asked, In a mat-
ter-of-faet tone. “Speak out No
sense in talking around corners.”
“I’m norfettlng on a thing about It,
Bart assured her. *Tin try/ng to see
through it Gcannj, the Mm^aljQu.”
“I can see a-plenty,” she said crisply.
The sheriff said, floundering: 'Td
like to talk to this Zeke. Might be
he’d know' something. Maybe Will,
he'll fetch him. Looks flke I’d have
to talk to that man.” . ,
But when' Will and Jenny presently
did return, they were alone.
This hour she spent with Will was
for Jenny deeply comforting. Huldy’s
accusation had faded Into a cloudy un
reality, like the substance of a dream.
But Jenny now, more than any other
emotion, felt a grievous sympathy for
Will, for the remorse she knew he
must endure; and she strove In small
ways to reassure and- comfort him,
not by words, but by her steady sup
porting presence at his side.
They tramped In silence through the
woods, the lantern swinging in Will’s
hand making the black shadows of the
trees along the way swing like somber
pendulums. They crossed the brook,
and climbed the steep trail, and came
up through the orchard to the barn;
and while Jenny held the lantern, Will
let the cows Into the tie-up and se

hay for them, and went to the kitchen
for the pall and returned to milk.
Jenny stood silently by, while he sat.
his head against the warm flanks of
the cows, the lantern here beside him
onjstke floor.
He spoke only once of that which
filled both their minds. “I'd like to
know where Zeke's gone to," he said.
“He’ll be around by and by,” Jenny
promised him. “It’s all right, Will.”
But her own words faintly startled
her; since clearly, If Will must live
with the secret knowledge that he had
killed Huldy, the world could never
be all right for him again; and she
wished suddenly to take him In her
arms, and tell him that she knew, and
held him blameless. But she per
ceived that to do this, to confess her
knowledge of his guilt, would^ be to
open between them a gulf never to be
bridged.
So she was silent; and later, when
they came back through the wet woods
together, she decided that this was a
matter none should ever know. And
thus resolving, she found strength for
the task before her, and was at peace
again. Huldy was dead. Let It be by
accident. The world would presently
forget that Huldy had ever lived.
When with Will she came back to the
little house In the Valley, she had
somehow stilled her fears.
Till she saw the sheriff there.
When they came In, she felt her
strength drain away. Bur then, and
by Will himself, her foreboding was
turned Into fearful certainty; for Will
said to this man:
“Why, Sheriff, what fetched you
here?”
The sheriff hesitated. “I kind of
hoped you'd bring this Zeke Dace back
with you,” he said, evasively.
Will shook head. “I dunno where
Zeke’s got to,” he admitted in troubled
tones. “He wa’n't to home.” And he
persisted: "But Sheriff, what fetched
you?”
Jenny was breathless, waiting for the
answer. Then Saladine said gravely:
“1 sent for him, Will.”
Will stared at Saladine. “What for?’
he protested, bewildered.
And then the sheriff said: “Why
Will, the thing Is, It looks to every
body as If maybe Mis’ Fefri» didn’t
just fall off of that ledge. They think
someone maybe throwed her off.”
Jenny's throat constricted strang-
llngly. The hounds were on rhe trail.
As though from far away she heard
Will stammer: “Killed her, you
mean ?”
"Something like that.”
Will stood with his head bowed. “I
guess not,” he said firmly at last
“Who’d do that?”
“I was thinking maybe this Zeke
Dace," Sohier suggested.
But Will shook his head. “No
Sheriff,” 'he Insisted. “Whatever did
happen, It wa’n’t Zeke. He wouldn’t
go to hurt her.” And he continued,
half to himself: “There might have
After the sheriff spoke, there was
silence for a moment; then Jenny
had a respite for Joe Matthe.ws, Jhe
'8. M
undertaker, carae v out of the dlAing
room. He spoke to Will
“There, Will,” he said. 'Tve done
all that needs doing tonight; and Jf
you want. I’ll carry her Aome.” He
hesitated, added: . “But If ybu take my
advice, let her lay here tonight. I can
’tend to everything a sight better In
the morning.”
Marm Fierce said: “She’s welqome
to'stay. Will I” •
Will nodded. “Well, likely that’s
sensible,” he agreed.
Jenny, lyhile their attention was thus
turned away from her, opened the door
and stepped out on the porch, grate
ful for the taste of cool, moist air. In
Jhe kitchen she heard the sheriff say
doubtfully: “I guess, Joe, you’ll want
to go along home now. I .don’t know
as I ought to leave yet, though. I’d
like to see this Zeke Dace, first. But
I wish’t you'd bring Doc Harris in the
morning. I want him to look lier over,”
When presently the undertaker
came but to depart, Jenny drew aside
out of his way. Sohier and Saladine
erossed with him to where his truck
Jenny Stood Silently By.
stood, spoke with him there. Then
Bart came out, and said to Jenny
casually:
“Hot In there, ain’t It.” And In a
lower tone: “Don’t you worry, Jen!
Nothing to be afraid of.”
He too had seen her terror then!
It must have been plain, for them all
to see. But even as" she thought this,
she realized-suddenly that she was no
longer afraid, and wondered why. And
then, without spsaJcing to iWt, she
came quickly back Into the kitchen
where were Marm Fierce and Will. Her
hand touched Will’s sleeve, and peace
filled her; and a deep enlightenment
and certainty, like a reVelation.
Then the truck departed, and Bart
and Sohier and Saladine returned In
doors. After a moment the sheriff
appealed to Saladine. “Jim,” he said'
‘“Looks like you could figure some
thing out of this business. I guess you
. was the last one to see Mis’ Ferrln
alive.”
Saladine shook his head.. “I don’t
see into It at all,” h'e confessed.
Bart turned to Will. “How about,
you, Will?” he urged. “Didn’t you
hear her screech when she fell? I’d
have said everybody in a mile could
have hoard that It sounded mighty
loud'to me.”
Will shook his head. “The noise
wouldn’t carry up to the farm, with
the hill between; and the trees.” He
looked at Saladine. “I mind,” he said,
“w;hen' you went off with Huldy, Zeke
he come out of the shed lik^ Ife^d go
along after you.' I’stopped him, x tpade
him stay behind.” And he continued
troerr~srime- trr~htirt - Huldy after- a. moment: "Seems, like ! .kfip.
Iftke! Why, I’d as soon think I did it
myself," he said.
Jenny felt the s^ock of a great bToWr
_JThen Bart chuckled ; and Will turned
to look at him. “What’s the matter,
Bart?” he asked. “What’s funny?”
“What you said,” Barf told him.
“That’s a Joke, Will. I mean, to think
you’d hurt Huldy,’* he explained, and
he added hotly: “Not that anybody’d
blame you! She needed It!” He
spoke to the sheriff. “Anyone around
here will ^ay the same!" •
Will moved a little toward him. “I
don’t take that kindly, Bart," lie said.
“I don’t - want that kind of talk frorn^
you or anybody. Not about Huldy.
V-pNot now.”
There was, briefly, silence; but after
a moment the sheriff said, half to hlm^
self. In almost querulous tones:
“it’s a pity she didn't come to long
enough to tell what happened to her!"
And It seemed 1 to Jenny suddenly
that this fandllar kitchen was very
small, and crowded, and stifling hoc

you to get down to the brook. Sup
posing you didn’t stop any time on the
ledge.”
“I didn’t,” Saladine said.
There was silence for a moment;
then Will spoke again, groping*j^J\
“By the time I figured you’d be
gone,” he explained, “I left Zeke and
went Into the house; but when it come
on to rain, I wondered where Huldy
was. I come out on the porch and
yelled for Zeke, but he didn’t answer,
so I went hunting thent I started to
go down the path to the brook. But
then I decided there wa’n’t any use In
that” He added with a glance at
Saladine: *T see tracks where you’d
gone down, where your boots had
slipped. . . .”
Saladine spoke quickly. “Boors?
I’ve got. shoes on. It was someoni
else," he Insisted. “It wa’n’t me.”
Will said stubbornly: “It was boot
tracks that I see. Somebody with
boots on bad gone down the trail.”
And Bart spoke. “Guess Zeke bad
boots on, didn’t be?”
Will considered, and he nodded. TLlke-
ly," he agreed. “Yes, be did. * 1 mind,
>now. He did.”
The sheriff stirred. “The way It
loots to me,” he decided, ‘Zeke’s the
one to find; and we ain’t likely to find
hlnj. long as we’re setting herel”,
' "Npr you can’t find him outslde f ,,
Marm Pierce cried sharply. "Show
s’ffme Sense, Sheriff I You couldn’t see
Zeke ten feet away, a night like this.
If he was a mind to hide. Set down.
Use your head,’stead of your feet! Use
your eyes!”
"What good’s my eyds going to do
'me here?” he urged.
“There’s been enough to see, ylf you
wa’n’t blind,” she told him; and she
looked briefly at Jenny. “Jenny,” she
said sharply. “You were almighty
scared a while ago. I think you know
something more’n you’ve fold. You was
down brook this morning. Did you see
anything, hear anything at all?” Her
rones were Insistent.
Jenny, thotlgh her heart was pound
ing, spoke after a moment steadily
enough. The way was clear before
her now, all doubts resolved. But she
only said: “I told you I heard some
one talking, In the woods."
Marm Pierce protested Irascibly:
"Nothing in that to scare you!” She
came closer to the girl. “Jenny, I can
see more than most;.but I can’t see
everything. What was It scared you, a
while ago? When the sheriff said that
about wishing Huldy had come to, be
fore she died? What was It, Jenny?”
she demanded.
The girl smiled slowly, as at some
secret thought.
“Go on, Jenny,” said old Marm
Pierce. "Tell the truth and shame
the devil!”
Jenny look at Will’s bowed head,
and her smile suddenly was radiant as
the sun. “It don’t mean a thing to'me
now,” she protested softly. "Because
I can see It wa’n’t true.".
“What was It, Jenny?” the old wom
an Insisted.
“Huldy did come to, for a minute,
before she died*,” said Jenny then.
Marm Pierce cried in a deep Incre
dulity:
“Jenny, she never did!”
And Bart exclaimed: "She couldn’t.
Jenny! Why, she was as good as dead
before ever I got her here!”
Jenny reneated slowly: “She did.
anywayj” A»imI for a moment she said
no more. She stood near the cabinet
over the sink, where knives and forks
and cooking dishes were stowed away.
Bart was b. the door Into the shed.
Marm Pierce was between Jenny and
the stove; and Sheriff Sohier sat In
front of the k oven with his greatcoat
loose about him.
Will was beyond the stove, near the
other door, Impassive, waiting.
Saladine, watching Jenny, thought
she seemed in this moment to wear a
mantle of grace. She,looked at Will
and-her eyes held his, and her tone
was gently mirthful.
?‘Sbe told me you did ir, Will,” said,
Jenny, with a smile on her lips, and
her glance serene.

gently. '
“The more fool you!” said Marm
Pierce briskly, her patience near the
breaking point. “What happened?"
she demanded.
The sheriff spoke heavily. “Mis’
Pierce, you let her tell it hsr own
way,” he urged. So Marm Fibres was
silenced; and Jenny’s eyes turned
again to Will The big man shook and
swayed where he stood, as though this
that Jenny had to say had struck him
nerveless.

Mastiff Is Considered
British Isles* Oldest
There may be older breed of dogs
than the mastiff but not so In the
British Isles for here this dog is con
sidered the oldest of them all, its ori
gin dating back to the Sixth century B.
C. At that time, writes Albert Stoll,
Jr., In the Detroit News, It was
brought Into Britain by the adventur
ous Phoenician traders and was adopt
ed' by^neBrrrdns Tdt hufiflDg fttuf tn
warfare. '
For years the breed was used to
hunt the larger wild animals and In
bear baiting but as the centuries
passed it was adopted as a guardian
for property and as a canine com
panion for those who fancied the
larger breed of dogs.,
Mastiffs may be either fawn with a
dark face or brindle. They weigh
from 150 to 170 pounds and stand
about 28 Inches high at the shoulders.
According to the American standard of
perfection they should be large, mas
sive and powerful with a well-knit
frame. The legs should be wide apart
and squarely set The coat Is short
and close-lying but not too fine. over
the shoulders, neck and back.
I. Who Ezra Was (7:1-10).
1. A priest (vv. 1-5). He was from
the line which was to stand between
God and the people. The leader of the
first company was Zernbbabel, a sort
of military governor. The great need
now was for a religious leader, for the
people had gone far from God, as we
see from the noble reformation which
Ezra effected. v ...
2. A ready scribe (v. 6). He was a
teacher of the law of God.
3. His high ambition (vv. 7-10).
a. 116 set his heart to seek the law
of the Lord (v. 10)!' He set out defi
nitely with the purpose to know
God’s Word. No one who purposes
in his heart to seek the law of the
Lord can fail.
b. He set his heart to obey the
Lord (v. 10). He was not only con
cerned with knowing God’s Word but
obeying It. God’s Word cannot be
known In Its fullness by the Intel
lect; It must be experienced. An es
sential qualification for a teacher of
the Bible, a preacher, or Sunday school
worket;, Is obedience to God’s Wopd.
c. He set his heart to teach In
Israel God’s statutes and judgments
(v. 10). He not only had a love for
God’s Word but a desire to Implant It
in the hearts, of others.
II. Ezra’s Commission (7:11-20).
# Ezra went forth backed by the de
cree from King Artaxerxes. The king
gave him a copy of the decree which
authorized him (o < lend a company
back to Jerusalem.- This decree em
powered nlm to
T. Collect funds (vv. 15, 10);
2. Levy tribute (vv, 21, 22);
3. Appoint magistrates and judges
(v. 25); A
4. Execute penalties (v. 26).*
So great was the king’s confidence in
Ezra that he delegated all these powers
to him. For this great favor Ezra
lifted his heart fo God In thanks
giving (vv. 27, 28). He was mainly
concerned with the fact that he was
to beautify the Lord’s house and ae-
; knp^vledged that God had put his pur
pose into the king’s heart
I ML
With
This company was comparatively
* small, only 1,754 males, but Including
th* women, children and servants there
were perhaps G.OOQ or 7,000 people.
Before proceeding oh the journey Ezn
was careful to find out ns to whether
’ any of the Levltes, the ministers of
God, were with them (v.-15). He
, knew that the success of their enter
prise depended upon the spiritual con
dition of the people. Temporal hless-
| ings and prosperity of the Individual
and the nation depend upon the peo
ple's attitude toward God.
IV. . Ezra’s Prayer and Fasting
(8:21-23).
The first thing that he did was to
Seek God's guidance. The reason Ezra
sought the Lord's help was that as far
as possible he desired his mission to
be free from human dependence. He
did not minimize the dangers attend
ing his Journey, but since he had as
sured the king that the hand of the
Lord would be upon all for good who
sought him, he was ashamed to ask
the king for a military escort to pro
tect them from the marauding Arabs.
His desire was.to prove the reality of
God’s help, as God’s honor among the
heathen was at stake.
V. The Successful Journey (8:24-32).
God heard their prayer. The treas
ure entrusted to them waf great. Fer-
haps the entire vklue of money and
sacrecl utensils was nearly five million
dollars. For a small caravan to go
through a country Infested by these
robber ba,nd_s carrying such an amount
of money was most perilous, but Ezra
knew that God was able and would
protect them. Observe »
1. The care and honesty (vv. 24-30).
The mdney was weighed unto them at
the start and was to be weighed when
turned over to the authorities at Jeru
salem. The Incentive to honest and
strict accounting of the trust watk tfrat
they weae holy men and wer^ entSut-
ed*with that which belonged to God.
2. Their safe arrival (vv. 31, 32).
Some four and one-half months were
required to make the Journey. God
brought them safely to their destina
tion, thus proving that he Is faithful
to those who put their trust la him.

^ Perfect love Is distinguished by the
character of Its enjoyments. It craves
the spiritual, the holy and Divine. Its
enjoyments are purely religious; they
