Teresa congratulited herself on a bright stroke of business and all on as before. and Bohenna worked out early and late; the weather could not have been bettered and the crops promised wonders. Eli, surveying the propl- tious fields, was relieved to think Ortho would be back for harvest, else he did not know how they would | met it home. No word had come from the wan- derer. None was expected, but he was sure to be back for August; he had sworn to be. Ortho was back on the 4th of July. Eli came in from work and, to his surprise, found him sitting in the kitchen relating the story of his ad- ventures. He had a musical voice, a Gallic trick of gesticulation and no compunction whatever about laugh- ing at his own jokes. His recital was st vivacious, ven Teresa guffawed—in spite of If. She had intended to haul Master Ortho over an exceedingly hot bed of coals when he returned, but for the moment she could not bring herself to it. He had started talking before she could, and his talk was extremely diverting: she did not want to interrupt it. Moreover, he looked handsomer than ever—tall, graceful, darkly sparkling. She was proud of him, her mother sense stirred. He was very like herself. From hints dropped here and there she guessed he had met with not a few gallant episodes on his travels and determined to sit up after the others had gone to bed and get de- tails out of him. They would make spicy hearing. Such a boy must be irresistible. The more women he had :d the better she would be ed, the greater the tribute to her offspring. She was a predatory animal herself and this her own cub. As for the wigging, that could | wait until they fell out about some- | thing else and she was worked up; fly at him in cold blood she could not. not for the moment.

Misfortune did not daunt Ortho for long; the promising state of the home fields put fresh heart in him. He plunged at the work chanting a pean in praise of agriculture, tore through obstacles and swept up his tasks with a speed and thorough- ness which left Eli and Bohenna standing amazed. The Penhale brothers harvested a record crop that season—but so did everybody else. The market was glutted and prices negligible. Bx- cept that their own staple needs were provided for, they were no bet- ter off than previously. EI did not greatly care—he had done what he had set out to do, bring a good crop home—but Ortho fell into a state of profound gloom; it was money that he wanted It seemed to make little difference in agriculture whether you harvested a bumper vield or none at all. He had no capital to start in the second- hand horse trade again—even did he wish to—and he had no knowledge of any other business. He was on the desperate point of enlisting in the army on the chance of being sent abroad and gathering in a little loot, when opportunity rapped loudly on his door. He had run down toward Tol-Pedn- Penwith with Jacky’s George one aft- ernoon in late September. It was a fine afternoon, with a smooth sea, nd all the coves between Merther vint and Carn Scathe were full of whitebait. They crowded close in- shore in dense shoals, hiding from the mackerel. When the mackerel rged them they stampeded in frittering the surface like ws.
