CHAPTER XI WITNESS FOB THE DEFENCE

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Horton." said Jane, as they met. "Hullo, Hughle, how are you?" r

Mother and son stopped readily in response to the greeting, and the mother smiled very pleasant- ly. There were few people in Ash- ton Paul who did not. smile at Jane, even though the smiles were tem- pered now by a sort of covert pity. It was plain from her glance that Mrs, Horton, in spite of her absorbing anxieties, could afford to be sc-rry for Jane.

"He's not been at all well, miss." she said, answering for her son. " his is his first time out for a

ek, I haven't been able to get him over the doorstep. Can't think why, I'm sure. Usually it's all I can do to get him to come hc-me to his meals. But there, you never can tell what's going on in Huzhies head."

There was some sort of struggio going on in it at that moment. Uneasiness shadowed his bluc eyes, and he shifted nervously from one foot to the other, drawing close to his mother. Yet a slow smile came and went grudiingiy upon his lips, and he held out his liand timidly to Jane.

“It's of you he's afraid," said Jane

.gently. “This ls a friend nf minr.

Hughie, I-Iis name's Jim Foley. and he's a nice man. so you mustn't be scared of him." "No," said l-Iughie obediently, and his smile came again more confidently than before. Ho had. seen thus at close quarters, fl face which was by no means unpleas- lng; too small to be normal, but symmetrically featured and of a bewildered expression, with none of the hideous happiness common to the faces of most mental de- ficients. His voice was small and docile and childish.

“Yo-u used to come down to the church and watch me working, Hughie," said Jane. “I've missed you. Why don't you come any more? Haven't you been well en-

answer. His mother looked rlown at, him with affectionate anxiety; she was not a big woman, yet she was half a head taller than he. She said, as if cocifidlng intima- cies to the one person in the world

it. received the reward o long and arduous labours.

For more man half a century Mr. McMauus held a position of trust and responsibility in his com- munity. The charm of his upright personality won the esteem and affection of neighbours andI friends, while a quiet dignity ofl manner together with CIIQIBOLGIlS-i tic firmness to duty inspired respect, and veneration regardless of class

a or creed. During the thirty years“

that he acted as Rural Mail Cour- rier many life-long friendships were ormed. His friends were won by the charm of his sincerity and charity. They not only respected and admired him, they loved him.

llis strong spirit of faitih perhaps outshone all other qualities. This was testified daily in a. Christian acce tance of suffering and a deep grat tude for the consolations o! his religion. The frequent visits of the pastor, Father Leonard Ayres dur- ing his last days upon earth brought to the depsrtim Christian soul all the blessings of Holy Mot-her Church and. filled ivith deep thank- fulness one who had striven to serve God faithfully in the days when health and strength permit-

Suffering is a gentle teacher and in Mr. McMauuy case revealed un- known depths of courage and love. He did not cumber life with the things that are not worth while but deve oped in his own quiet way the lovely qualities of trust/worthiness, fidelity to duty. friendshi and (HD8116 all Fatherly love an solici- u c.

truth. It isn't as if folks round here aren't used to him. Brant think as any of them wn ‘ill be rough‘ with him. They never seem to mind him being about, that I can see. And then to turn on a poor boy and frighten him half out of hi-s \vits-—one as can‘: help being like he is-—"

"Frighten him?" said Jane warm-

y.

"No, I can't think that anyone would do anything to frighten him. Why ever should they? Why. overy- one likes to see him-don't they. Hughie?"

Hughl-e said nothing. His silence was wild and strange. and he cast even at Jane brief sidelong glances which spoke of nervousness, if not actually of fcar, He drew his hand away from her, and edge-d closer to his mother.

“Oh, I-Iughie!" said Jane re-

roachfully. “You don't think I'd iiurt you, surely. Why. we used to be such good friends."

"There you are, you see, miss." said Mrs. Horton wirth a .sigh. “he's like that with everyone since this-whatever it was-happened to him. Too-k me a week to get him over the doorstep, it has. and now he won't,talk to anybody, not even to those he used to like best. You klnow how it is." shc said simply, "with folks like Hiighie. People get quite a turn someiimes from poor creatures like Hughie. if they happen to be took unu- wares."

“I can't. think it should be such a shock to anyone." said Jane. "when he's so obviously quite harmless and only means to be in- terested in everything."

Mrs. Horton was a woman old and practised in the contempla- tion of her son's abnormality, She was not so blind as to think him a reassuring object to anyone; hut her candour was almost more tra- gic than illusion would have been.

"I don't know." she said thought- fully. “Some people get the shud- ders from creatures like my Hugh- ie. Poor things, tlicy can't help ‘it. "I‘isn't that they want to be un- pleasant. But there's none so cruel as frightened people. Why they might even hit him to drive him away if they were really scared."

"But, Mrs. Horton, however did it hap n7 What makes you think he ha such a bad fright? Hasn't he told you all about lt?"

"Not a word. miss. Coax him as I may, he won't tell, Like u poor dumb beast lie is. lust wishful to hide away when he's huirt, and ter- rificd, and as if he was frightened for his life to lay a word about at "

"But how did it happen? Was he out by himself, then?"

"Yes, miss, out on the prowl as usual he was, and had becn all the morning. Wont off as happy as a king he did after his iii-cak- fast, and said he was going to seci Mr. Grey cutting his hayfield. He was away all the mornln , and I was beginning to think should have’ to go and fetch him to his dinner, when in he comes running like a thing demented, gasping and’ sobbing to break his heart, and into his big chair by the fire- side, and tries to hury himself, as YW might shy. in the cushions. Just like as i-f the dcvil was after him. And to this minute. miss, I'm none the wiser about what hap- pened to him. Just crouched there, he did. and shivered.

She looked up at Jim with B quick smile, "He's so useful. He holds my brushes for me-don't You. Hughie?"

I-Iughie said: "Yes." like a shy child prompted, but with rather moreassurance than before.

‘Will you come and hold them for me ngaln?_ And I'll let you squeeze the paints out on the pal- ette for me if you will come, Yoi.i’ll like that, won't you?"

He said with sudden animation: “Pretty colours - I-I hie likes, pretty colours?" And‘ til appnl.“ ling abruptness subsided again in- stanltly into his uneasy isolation.

‘Im l0 sorry you've been war-- rled," said Jane to his mother, with that sad and stern little smile which was new to her lips since the departure of Charles.

"There, miss. with all your troubles, I'm sure it's nice of you to feel for me. Never you worry. my dear, it'll all turn out all right, you see if it doesn't."

“I hope so." said Jane. “Thank you, Mrs, Horton. I hope Hughlo will soon be well again.
