CHAPTER VII. Wh«r»in Elnora Receives • Warning
and Billy Appears on the Scene. mHEN Mrs. Comstock entered the cabin and began the day's work, but mingled with the brooding bitterness of her soul
was the vision of a sweet young face, glad with a gladness never before seen on It, and over and over she repeated, "I wonder what he'll say to her?"
What he said was that she looked as fresh and sweet as a posy and to be careful not to step in the mud or scratch her shoo when she went to the cas%
Elnora found ber key and opened the door. Not where sbe had placed it, but conspicuously in front lay her little heap of bills and a crude scrawl of writing beside it Elnora picked up the note in astonishment.
dere Elnory, the lord amlghty Is hiding you all right done you ever dout it this money of yourn was took for some time las nlte but it is returned with intres for god sake done ever come to the swamp at nlte or late evnin or mornln or far In any x^ne sompin worse an you know could git you A FREND.
Elnora began to tremble. She hastily glanced about. The damp earth before the case had been trodden by large, roughly shod feet. She caught op the money and the note, thrust them into her gulmpe, locked the case and ran for the road.
She was so breathless and her face so white Slnton noticed it
"What In the world's the matter, Elnora?!' he asked as he helped her into the carriage.
MI am half afraid," she panted. "Tut, tut, child!" said Wesley Slnton.
"Nothing in the world to be afraid of. What happened?"
"Uncle Wesley," said Elnora, "I had more money than I brought home last uight and I put it in my case. Some one has been there. The ground is all trampled, and they left this note."
"And took your money, I'll wager," said Slnton angrily.
"No," answered Elnora. "Read the note and. oh. Uncle Wesley, tell me what it means!"
£inton's face was a study. "X don't, knowtwnat ft'Weans," he said.' 416nly one thing is clear. It means some beast who doesn't really want to harm you has got his eye on you and he is telling you plain as he can not to give him a chance. You got to keep along the roads, in the open, and not let the biggest moth that ever flew toll yon out of hearing of us or your mother. It means that plain and distinct."
"Just when I can sell them; just when everything is so lovely off account of them. I can't—I can't stay away from the swamp. The Limber-lost is going to buy the books, the clothes, pay the tuition and even start a college fund. I just can't"
"You've got to," said Sinton. "This is plain enough. You go far in the pw.imp at your own risk, even in daytime."
"Uncle Wesley," said the girl in a whisper, "last night before I went to bed I was so happy i tried to pray, and I thanked God for hiding me 'under the shadow of his wing.' But how In the world could any one know It?'
Wesley Slnton's heart gave one great leap In his breast. His face was whiter than the girl's now.
"Was you praying out loud, honey?' be almost whispered. "I might have said words," answer
ed Elnora. "I know I do sometimes. I've never had any one to talk to, and I've played with and talked to myself all my life. You've caught me at it often, bat it always makes mother angry when she does. She says it's •illy. I forget and do it when I'm alone. But, Uncle Wesley, if I said anything last night you know it was the merest whisper, because I'd have been so afraid of waking mother. Don't you see? I sat up late and did two lessons."
Sinton was steadying himself. "Ill stop and examine the case as I come back." he said. "Maybe I can find some clew. That other—that was just accidental*' It's a common expression. All the preachers use it If I was going to tway that would be the very flrst thing I'd say."
The color came back to Elnora's face.
"Did you tell your mother abont this money, Elnora?" he asked.
"No, I didn't" said Elnora. "It's dreadful not to. but I was afraid. You see, they are clearing the swamp so fast Every year it grows harder to Sod things, and Indian stuff gets scarcer. I want to graduate, and tbatfs four years unless I can double on the course. That means $20 tuition each year and new books and piothrit There won't ever be so much at one time again—that I know. I just got to hang to my money.- I was afraid to tell her for fear sbe would want it for taxes, and she really must sell a tree or some cattle for that, mustn't she. Unci? Wesley?*
"On your life, she must!" said Wesley. "You put your little wad in the bank aU safe and never mention it to a Uving soul. It don't seem right, but
y«U» • WOl'U JOU say is a true word. Each year, yon will get less from the swamp, and things everywhere will bo scarcer. If you ever get a few dollars ahead, that can start your college fuud. You know you are going to college. Elnora!"
"Of course I am," said Elnora. Sbe jhmped from the carriage and
soon found that wttb ber books, ber lunch bos and the box of arrow points she had a heavy load. Sbe was almost to the bridge crossing tbe culvert when sbe heard tbe distressed screams of a child. Across an orchard of tbe suburbs came a small boy. after him a big dog, urged by a man in tbe background. Elnora's heart was with the small flying figure in any event whatever. She dropped her load on the bridge and with practiced hand caught up a stone and flung it at tbe dog. The beast curled double with a howl. The boy reached the fence, and Elnora was there to help him over. 4s be touched the top she swung him to the ground, but be clung to her, clasping her tightly, sobbing and shivering with fear. Elnora carried him to the bridge and sat with him in her arms. For a time bis replies to her questions were Indistinct, but at last he became quiet* er and she could understand.
He was a mite of a boy. nothing but skin covered bones, his burned, freckled face in a mortar of tears and dust, his clothing unspeakably dirty, one great toe in a festering mass from a broken nail and sores all over the visible portions of tbe small body.
"You wouldn't set a dog on a boy for Just taking a few old apples when you fed 'em to pigs with a shovel every day, would you?" be said.
"No, I would not" said Elnora hotly. "You'd give a boy all the apples he
wanted if he hadn't any breakfast and was so hungry be was all twisty inside, wouldn't you ?"
"Yes, I would," said Elnora. "If you had anything to eat you
would give me something right now. Wouldn't you?"
"Yes," said Elnora. "There's nothing but just stones in the package. But my dinner is in that case. I'll gladly divide."
She opened the box. The famished child gave a little cry and reached both hands. Elnora caught them back.
"Did you have any supper?* "No." "Any dinner yesterday?" "An apple and some grapes I stole." "Whose boy are you?" "Old Tom Billings'." "Why don't your father get you some
thing to eat?" "He does most days, but he's drunk
now." "Hush! You must not!" said Elnora.
"He's your father!" "He's spent all the money to get
drunk, too," said the boy, "and Jimmy and Belle are both crying for breakfast I'd 'a' got out all right with an apple for myself, but I tried to get some for them, and the dog -got - too close. Say, you can just throw, can't you?'
"Yes," admitted Elnora. Sbe poured half the milk into the cup. "Drink this," she said, holding it to him.
The boy gulped the milk and swore joyously, gripping the cup with shaking fingers.
"Hush!" cried Elnora. "That's dreadful!"
"What's dreadful?" . "To say such awful words." "Huh, pa says worser 'in that every
breath he draws." Elnora stared into the quaint little
face and saw that the child was older than she bad thought He might have been forty by bis hard, unchildish expression.
"Do yon want to be like your father?"
"No; I want to be like you. Couldn't a angel be prettier 'an you! Can 1 have more milk?"
Elnora emptied the flask. The boy drained the cup. He drew a breath of satisfaction as he gazed into her face.
"You wouldn't go off and leave your little boy. would you ?" he asked.
"Did some one go away and leave you?' questioned Elnora in return.
"Yes; my mother went off and left me and left Jimmy and Belle, too," said the boy. "You wouldn't leave your little boy, would you?"
"No." The boy looked eagerly at the box.
Elnora lifted a sandwich and uncovered the fried chicken. Tbe boy gasped with delight.
"Say, 1 could eat the stuff in the: glass and the other box and carry the bread and the chicken to Jimmy and Belle," be offered.
Elnora silently uncovered the custard with preserved cherries on top and handed it and the spoon to the child. Never did food disappear faster. The salad went next; and a sandwich Wd half a chicken breast followed.
"I better leave the rest for Jimmy and Belle." he said. "They're '1st fight-In' hungry."
Elnora gave him tbe remainder of the carefully prepared lunch. The boy clutched it and ran with a sidewlse hop like a wild thing.
Elnora covered tbe dishes and cup, polished tbe spoon, replaced it closed the beautiful case. She caught her breath In a tremulous laugh.
"If Aunt Margaret knew that she'4 Bever forgive me," she said. "It seems as if secrecy is literally forced upon me, and I hate it What will 1 do for lunch? I'll have to go sell my arrows and keep enough money for a restaurant sandwich."
sbe walked hurriedly into town, sold her points at a good price, deposited her funds and went away with a neat little bank book and the note from the Limberlost carefully folded Inside. Elnora passed down the great ball that morning, and no one paid the slightest attention to her. The truth was she looked so llke every one else tBit she was perfectly inconspicuous;^
bers of bet ciuas bureiy no one'ln-tended it but the whisper was too loud.
"Look at the girl from tbe Limber-lost In the clothes that woman1 gave her!" .U,;,
Elnora turned on tbem. "I beg your pardon."sbe said unsteadily: "1 couldn't help bearing that! No one gave me these clothes. 1 paid for them myself."
Some one muttered. "Pardon me.'V but incredulous facett greeted her.
Elnora felt driven. "Aunt Margaret selected them, find she meant to . give

them to me," she explained, "but 1 wouldn't take them. I paid for them myself." There was a dead silence.
"Don't you believe me?' panted Elnora.
"Really, it is none of our affair," said another girl. "Come on; let*s go."
Elnora stepped before the girl who had spoken. "You have- mad* this your affair," she said, "because you told a thing which was not true. No one gave me what I am wearing. 1 paid for my clothes myself with money I earned selling moths to the Bird Woman. I just came from the bank where I deposited what I did not use. Here is my credit" Elnora drew out and offered the little red book. "Surely you will believe that" she said.
"Why, of course," said the girl who first had spoken. "We met such a lovely woman In Brownlee's store, and she said she wanted our help to buy some things for a girl, and that's how we came to know."
"Dear Aunt Margaret," said Elnora, *4t -was likeber to ask- you. . Isn't she splendid?"
"She Is indeed," chorused the girls. Elnora set down her lunch box and books and unpinned her hat, hanging it beside the others. While her back was turned Into the room came the girl of her encounter on the first day. walked to the rack and. with an exclamation of approval, took down Elnora's hat
"Just the thing I have been wanting," she said. "I never saw such beautiful quills In all my life. They match my new broadcloth to perfection. I've got to have that kind of quills for my hat 1 never saw the like. Whose is it, and where did It come from?'
Mo one said a word, for Elnora's question, the reply and 'ber answer had gone the rounds of the high schooL Every one knew that the Llmberlost girl had come out ahead, and Sr.die Reed had not felt amiable when the little flourish had been added to Elnora's name In the algebra class. Elnora's swift glance was pathetic, but no one helped her. Sadie Reed glanced from the hat to the faces around her and wondered.
"Why, this Is the freshman section. Whose hat Is It?" she asked again, this time Impatiently.
"Thafs the tassel of the cornstalk,** •aid Elnora. with a forced laugh.
The response was genuine. Every one shouted. Sadie Reed blushed* but she laughed also.
"Well* It's beautiful," she said, "especially the quills. They are exactly what I want I know I don't deserve any kindness from you, but I do wish you would tell me at whose store you got those quills.'*
"Gladly," said Elnora. "You cant get quills like those at a store. They mie from a living bird. Phoebe Slmms gathers tbem In her orchard as her peacocks, sbed them. They are wing quills from tbe males." -
Then there was a perfect silence. How was Elnora to know that not a girl there would bav& told that?
"I haven't a doubt but I can get you some." she offered. "She gave Aunt Margaret a great buiach, and, those are part of tbem: I ami quite sure she has more and would spare some."
Sadie Reed laughed s'horjfty. "You needn't trouble." she said, "I was fooled. I thought they were, expensive quills. I wanted them for a twenty-dollar velvet toque to match my new suit If they are picked off the ground, really, I couldn't use them."
"Only in spots," said Elnora. "They don't Just cover the earth. Phoebe Binmis* peacocks are the only ones within miles of Ohabasba* and they moult bijt once a year. lit your hat only cost $20 it's hardly good enough for those quills.. You see, the Almighty made and colored those .himself* and he pate the same kind on Phoebe Simms* peacocks th*t he put on the bead of -the family in the for-ests of Ceylon away back in the begin* |Ung.

How those girls did laugh! One of them walked by Elnora to the auditorium, sat with her during exercises and tried to talk whenever she dared to keep Elnora from seising the curious and admiring looks bent upon ber. For the brown eyed boy whistled, and there was pantomime of all sorts going on behind Elnora's back that day. Happy with her books no one knew how much she saw. and from her absorption in ber studies it was evident she cared too little to notice. It soon developed that to be inconspicuous and to work was all Elnora craved.
After school she went again to the home of the B!r4 Woman, and together they visited the swamp and took away more specimens. This time Elnora asked tbe Bird Woman to keep tbe money until noon of the next day, when she woi|id call for It and have it added to her bsnk account She slowly walked home* for the visit to the swamp had brought back full force the experience of the morning. Agsln and again she examined the crude little note, for she did not,, know what It 'meant y«t It br** vag«e fear. j|jf
